Day dress ca. 1860-65
From Modemakt
Actually circa 1870. That is a severely gored skirt with minimal bustle. It’s also very short, probably either for walking or lawn games like croquet.
An 1871 “ventilated” corset designed for summer and sporting wear. In addition to the obvious openings the boning is cased in a light cotton rather than silk or coutil to allow for additional breath-ability.
Incredible. Plus, no busk!
