Both men and women wore such undergarments, so the early corset-makers were also men's tailors and armor-makers. M' Lady's Corset is representative of the late 16th and early 17th-century garments worn by upper-class women in the royal courts (square-neck version) and working class women in their daily lives (scoop-neck version).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth versions feature dropped waistline at center front to the V-neck that was characteristic of the Elizabethan era, and wide-set shoulder straps to further emphasize the small-waisted impression. Princess-style seams, while characteristic of later years, facilitate personalized fit for the contemporary wearer. Square-neck corset laces in back with purchased eyelets or handmade eyelets (instructions inside pattern), and adjustable straps that lace through eyelets in the front. Scoop-neck corset fastens in front with purchased hook-and-eye tape, and featured peplum that reflects the waistline tabs of 16th-century doublets and corsets. Placement of boning pieces can be altered for desired stiffness (see \u003cem\u003eImportant Notes about Corset Construction\u003c\/em\u003e inside pattern).  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSuggested fabrics:\u003c\/b\u003e For outer layer, medium to heavy-weight stable fabrics that do not drape, such as silk satin, brocade, damask, shantung, dupioni; cotton damask, brocade; linens and blends.
