mina | corsets & sewing :
Idk why they drafted it like that but is the museum Leicester? If it is it’s pronounced less-ter, not too far from me if it’s there but haven’t heard of it before

the grain line set up that way may let the corset stretch a little for going around curves, while holding shape enough to stay tight where it needs to? otherwise, my guess would be that it's to conserve expensive fabric. but that's not my specialty, so grain of salt

It is a flat picture of a curved object. (think of a poster of the world).

is it possible the way it's laid out on the paper isn't representative of how it would be laid out on the fabric? I'm thinking in terms of whoever drafted this wanting to conserve *paper*. there could also be a built-in assumption that whoever is using this pattern has enough pre-existing sewing knowledge to already know what needs to be done re: grain lines

in my experience, the waistline in most Victorian corsets is on the grainline, then the top pieces may be off grain to have a bit of stretch around the hip and bust. this might also just be a drawing and not a good representation of how it's cut, from my experience using original patterns, the main things is the waistline is on grain. also I feel like the slanted pieces hug your curves better than straight pieces so that might also be why.

Spice & Stitch 🇪🇺🍉 :
a corset is meant to be a very stable garment that provides shaping and support, so the grainline shouldn't actually be very skewed - this image is a very accurate representation of how the pattern pieces would fit together if flattened (in my experience), just clearly without seam allowances. By the way, i could be wrong, but I would think this was an Edwardian corset, considering how curvy it looks, all those gussets and curved seams - Victorian corsets mostly had straight-ish panels with some shaping, to make use of the grainline 🤔 the corset should NOT stretch, the pieces arranged on this "curve" means that some areas will have some "give" to go over body curves and be smooth, but it won't totally warp out of shape. once sewn together it becomes a very 3D garment, all those subtle curves and gussets doing their job and creating the shape 😁

I used to live near the factory that made those Symington corsets. It’s a museum now.

i do believe this is for a fabric that has a specific pattern or print...and they drafted it this way so the print alligns and goes in the right direction when the curved seams are sewn toghether but thats just my theory

I think you need to learn professional drafting. You're missing crucial information that will answer your questions.
