Batiste Chemise Corsets Create Kidfitting Months Newly Powder Puff Slender Underwear Fashionable
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1911 showcases the latest trend in women's fashion - the Kidfitting Corsets. These long line corsets were designed to create the Directoire or Empire silhouette, which was all the rage during the Edwardian era. Made from lightweight batiste fabric, these corsets were perfect for keeping cool during the summer months.
The historical significance of this piece is evident in its portrayal of how women used undergarments to achieve a slender and fashionable look. The silhouette created by these corsets would have been accentuated by wearing a chemise underneath, adding an extra layer of puff and powder to complete the ensemble.
Looking at this image transports us back in time to an era where beauty standards and fashion trends were vastly different from what we see today. It serves as a reminder of how clothing has evolved over the years and gives us insight into the history of women's fashion.
Overall, this print is not just a glimpse into the past but also a testament to human creativity and ingenuity when it comes to creating garments that both shape our bodies and reflect societal norms.
