During the Victorian period, a long slim torso emphasised by wide hips is the ideal shape of all women. In order to achieve a slim waist, they would put on the corset tightly around the waist, and also the function of the corset can help stop the bodice from horizontal creasing. For this reason, the corset also the same as the cage crinoline, both of them became an essential clothing element in the Victorian period.
I combined the bra on top of the 2021 fashion trend in this collection, I thought they were both having a similar feature, tightened up and emphasise the body curve line shape, so grouped these two together to form a new collection.

For the bottom, I explored two kinds of fabric texture, both of them were lace but in a different pattern. I felt like the left-hand side was too dazzled for the whole visual layout, so I prefer right-hand side to the round dots pattern more.
This is the final result:
