Title: Ultra-Rare Authentic Vintage Madame D.C. Medeq London Leather Underbust Corset / Waist Cincher
Description: An extraordinary opportunity to own a museum-quality piece of mid-to-late 20th-century British foundation wear history. 

This is an authentic, genuine black leather underbust corset crafted directly within the legendary London operation of corsetière Madame D.C. Medeq.
Famous for transitioning her clinical nursing expertise into high-fashion tight-lacing commissions out of her specialized Mayfair boutique, Madame Medeq became iconic for creating the extreme waist-training corsets worn by historic record-holders like Ethel Granger. 
Leather pieces from her custom line are exceptionally rare and highly coveted by serious fashion archivists.

HAND-CRAFTED PROVENANCE & AUTHENTICITY

The corset features its original, intact interior woven fabric-backed label featuring the distinctive embroidered red script and "LOND..." (London) branding.
Because this piece is constructed of premium leather and bears this official London boutique label, it strongly indicates that it was produced directly within her specialized Mayfair operation. 
This means the garment was either hand-patterned directly by Madame Medeq herself, or meticulously crafted under her strict personal supervision by her small, highly trained team of specialist corsetières. It represents the pinnacle of her artisanal craft, far removed from her clinical mass-market orthopedic supply line.

CONDITION

This corset has been professionally and meticulously reconditioned to ensure structural integrity and complete wearability. The leather is supple, and the steel boning is strong.

Note on Condition: As a natural result of the deep conditioning and restoration process on the vintage black leather, there is some minor, cosmetic black color transfer onto the white interior woven fabric label (visible in photos). The label remains fully legible, intact, and firmly attached. 

This minor cosmetic transfer does not impact the structural wearability or the extreme historical rarity of this garment.Worldwide shipping available.
