Step back in time with this vintage Camp Model 192 medical back support corset, a rare orthopedic brace from the 1960s. This white corset features a subtle floral jacquard pattern on sturdy cotton fabric, blending functional design with a touch of mid-century style. The original label reads “Camp – Model 192 – Size 36 – Made in U.S.A.”, and the construction and materials reflect the quality of that era (50% cotton with a cotton/rayon/rubber elastic blend).

Designed for serious lumbar support and posture correction, this corset has both front and back lacing to ensure a fully adjustable, secure fit. In addition to the lace-up closures, it comes with adjustable compression straps that allow you to fine-tune the level of support and tightness around your torso. Sturdy steel boning is built into the corset, providing firm structure and stability along the spine. Whether you’re a collector of medical antiques, a vintage fashion enthusiast, or someone seeking authentic supportwear, this Camp corset offers a unique combination of functionality and vintage charm. It would make a striking addition to a collection, a conversation piece for display, or even a functional garment for reenactment, costume, or specialized use.
