18th – 19th Century Busks For Stays, Or Corsets, In Jane Austen and Bridgerton Times. #RegencyFashion #Corsets #JaneAusten #Bridgerton #HistoricalFashion

Suzi Love Posted on by

Busks shaped and reinforced the centre front of stays, or corsets. They were made from whalebone, wood, and bone, and were often inscribed with names, dates, and symbols of love because they were positioned close to the heart. The corsets worn in Jane Austen’s later years and by women in Bridgerton times often had busks to stiffen the corset and support the breasts.
