EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph from the late 1890s showcases a woman wearing Drew's Corset, a fashionable solution for those seeking to achieve an hourglass figure during the Victorian era. The corset in question, known as the "A la Grecque" style, features intricate gold embroidery and a low-cut neckline reminiscent of ancient Greek garments. But what sets this corset apart is the addition of a supporter, which extends beyond the waistline to cover the hips and stomach. This innovative design not only cinched the waist and accentuated the curves but also provided support and compression to the midsection, making it an effective solution for those with more voluptuous figures. The woman in the photograph wears the corset and supporter as undergarments, suggesting that they were worn beneath fashionable dresses of the time. The historical context of this image is significant, as the late 1800s saw a cultural obsession with the idealized female form, characterized by a small waist and full hips. The intricate details of the corset and supporter are on full display in this photograph, with the gold embroidery and lace trim adding an elegant touch to the otherwise utilitarian garments. The woman's expression is confident and proud, showcasing the empowering effect of wearing such a garment during a time when fashion and beauty standards were strictly defined. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a window into the world of Victorian-era fashion and the lengths women went to achieve the ideal figure. The combination of the Drew's Corset and supporter remains a testament to the enduring allure of corsets and their ability to transform the body, making them a staple of historical fashion and a symbol of beauty and elegance.
