This one is a beauty, a classic late Victorian with flossing. 
As usual, click the photo to go to that corset's page on my website for all the details and more photos:

Beautiful! This is exactly the sort of corset I'd love to buy a pattern of. I'm really looking forward to you selling patterns someday!

Soon grasshopper.... soon there will be patterns

(as long as you do not mind them being of the one and original size only and with minimal directions)

Don't mind at all! Actually, I'm used to working with much worse - I'm usually enlarging flawed pattern diagrams and trying to translate period instruction (which suck in the first place) from French or German. Anything that you do would be a huge improvement! :)

There's someone on Etsy who's doing this. I don't know how well they're selling, but I've been tempted to buy the whole lot, just to look at. :)

And no, I don't mind them being originals. There's another vendor who's making money selling what amounts to style lines from Victorian magazines in her collection with a photocopy of the instruction text from the magazine.

It just reminds me so much of how COPA had its free week, and everyone was freaking out because there were no sized patterns and no instructions. I spent most of a day cackling to myself and downloading Edwardian underwear patterns! Oh, what a sad lot the Big Three have trained...
