victorian wood furniture kit for doll house is worth anything?

Recently i purchases a easy to assemble victorian wood furniture kit for doll houses, from a thrift store still in the box, copyrighted 1979, for like 2 dollars. Any way my husband suggested maybe i could sell it on ebay or something so i was wondering if anyone out there knew alittle about these dolls house furniture kits and if now, would it be worth anything, i think its cool and even if its not worth nothing im going to open it up and put it together and display it on one of my cabinets. So if you know anything about these wood furniture kits please give me advice on if i should sell it or not if its worth anything or not. thankyou

Up through the Victorian Ages, corsets were very popular with women. Corsets were worn to reduce waist size. A tiny waist made for an attractive figure.

Corsets were made from different materials over the years, including: stiffened linen, wood, whalebone, and wrought iron. Corsets were designed to cinch up very tightly in the back in order to restrict the waist size. Corsets also restricted movement, forcing a straighter posture. It was shameful for women to show any pain or discomfort felt by the severely tight corsets. Unfortunately, many women were not strong enough to endure the punishment of the tight corsets and would experience numbness in their body, trouble breathing, fainting, and even cracked ribs.

Luckily for us women, somebody decided corsets had to go! Today corsets are designed to be both beautiful and functional.

Some corsets are tailored in a camisole style and are made of flexible material which is comfortable for daywear. They are very comfortable under clothing, yet still accentuate curves.

Other corsets are more appropriate for evening wear. Many of these corsets feature boning for shaping and contoured cups. Some are waist cinching and lace snugly up the back, while others have seams down the front replicating the vintage corset look. Corsets can be found as a camisole style or as longer ones which can be worn with garters and thigh high stockings. Most corsets are made from beautiful fabrics and sheer lace. They are available in a variety of colors, including: white, ivory, pink, blue, lavender, red and black.

So, whether you want a corset to make you feel pretty and demure or just want one for comfort and body shaping, there's a corset just right for you!
