By-the-by, even in coutille corsets I advise a silk lacing, for if you are inclined to perspire, cotton or linen ones get stiff and uncomfortable, and although the silk ones may seem a little more expensive they are so much more comfortable, so much easier to pull or tie, that you will feel the money well spent. (The Ladies Home Journal, 1891) Here are some antique Edwardian corsets with original silk corset laces: 1900s silk jacquard corset with matching white silk corset laces at the McCord Stewart museum, late Edwardian cream silk corset with original purple silk corset laces at the V&A museum, 1900s silk corset with silk corset laces at the MET museum and a 1903 silk wedding corset with silk laces at the Phila museum
