Description
A corset over is typically worn under sheer summer styles to keep the corset from showing through the dress and also to keep the corset cleaner. They can double as a chemisette, peaking out from under a bodice. Plain versions were meant to hide and are usually made of pure white muslin but there were also decorated ones. Black ones or ones of colored silk were often worn under dark dresses.
