Slideshow of adverts and mail order cat. illustrations mainly, with some magazine feature and manufacturer's material. Have included a few stocking ads, as well. [Error in vid: the first frame for 1920 has two pictures of women in girdles on the left - these should have been dated 1930, if in fact, any firm year can be assigned to them.]The absence of the garter (in widespread use until c 1930) from this material, seems odd - presumably they were covered by the lengthy bloomers etc.Also, in order the better to display their wares, manufacturers' photos for ads etc always show models wearing their underwear beneath , say, a hip girdle although from the early to mid 30s (and from the mid 20s, in the case of the suspender belt) when corsetry could be worn next to the skin, it would, when possible, be worn over it, in real life.

    I like the late 1910's the best followed by the 1920's and 1930's. I think the 1920's and 1930's were a lot better for comfort. I couldn't have worn the S-shaped corsets of the 1900's or the tight 1950's girdles. You can dress nice today without the tight underwear.

    All these eras were beautiful but I couldn't have worn the 1900's S-shaped corset because that was painful to shape your body like that or the girdles. I think the the late 1910's, the 1920's, and the 1930's were the best in comfort and fashion.

  • Reminds me of a ...

    Reminds me of a cartoon I saw recently...some modern women were looking at a photo from 1900 and remarking how beautiful and graceful ladies were back then. The next panel shows what was going through the women's heads when the photo was taken...one woman is thinking about how her corset was crushing her...one woman was thinking about how tight her pointed toe shoes were...you get the idea...^_^

  • The music is ...

    The music is Debussy's Arabesque no1 followed by no2. Apparently when the US government asked women to stop wearing corsets in 1917 it resulted in an amount of steel being saved that was the equivalent to that needed to construct two battleships.

    Yes, what IS the name of the 1st piece of music? Very beautiful.
    Interesting subject. I read someplace that steel "boned" corsets went by the wayside because the steel/iron was needed for warships in WWI.
