In this exhibition, around 60 corsets from the period 1775 to 1925 will be on display, including unique, tailor-made and exclusive models made of silk satin or cotton in bold colours with beautiful embroideries. These corsets of the collection Nuits de Satin from Paris are almost all unworn and as good as new and give a realistic insight how splendid and elaborate these garments were.
