French term or phrase: arbre à corseterie
This is followed by a list of the items of underwear to be displayed on the said 'tree'. Other than a display stand has anyone come across a more specific term in this context?

lingerie display stand
Explanation:
I really think the "tree" part is just that it's multi-branched like this

(if it's about corsets then corseterie could be used instead of lingerie)

I suppose if you're sure it's a "tree" you could say "lingerie display tree" and it would be understandable as well. Some of these could conceivably have lingerie draped over them/hanging from them

This was the option I went for, I agree that it loses the idea of 'branches' but it seemed the most logical. Many thanks to all.

neutral  Nikki Scott-Despaigne: "corset stand" is quite general. They do of course exist and the images on your link are almost exclusively for mannequins. Not convinced that this conveys the specific idea of the "arbre" in the original. Add "tree" and the results are closer. See below.

agree  mchd: quelque chose avec "lingerie" ???
8 mins
  -> It had crossed my mind that "lignerie" might be meant, but as the original specifies "corseterie" and not "lingerie"...
neutral  Yvonne Gallagher: but none of these "trees" are for displaying lingerie/corseterie? They're mostly jewellery stands here (or hat/coat).

  -> They are, certainly, which is where this suggestion falls short. However, it may work for the specific context described by the Asker. If this is for "lingerie", which the list following suggests, then your suggestion is better by far and away.

agree  Nikki Scott-Despaigne: I think this is probably the best, and most obvious solution, the only "hic" being that it doesn't convey the multi-branched aspect. Still seems the monst natural choice though.
11 hrs
  -> Thnks Nikki. I just couldn't find "lingerie/corseterie" and "tree" together as collocation...

Le terme "lingerie" me semble mieux approprié, "corset" fait un peu désuet.
