From "The Dictionary of Occupational Terms"A corset stitcher sewed, by machine, strips of facing material to the underside of the corset, ready for the insertion of flexible steels, stitched an extra pice of material inside the strap to prevent the steels working through, then turned the raw edge of the corset under a strip at the back and the front. In big factories where the work was sub-divided, workers were sometimes specifically designated, e.g., front stitcher, back stitcher. A corset machinist, or corset maker sewed together the pieces of the material which formed the corset. A corset sewer, or hand sewer, sewed on the bows and trimmings.
