EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the early 20th century with this advertisement for John Barker's women's underwear from 1911. The image, published by Illustrated London News Ltd and sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases a trio of elegant women wearing John Barker's slender fitted corsets. These corsets, designed by the renowned corsetier, feature straight-fronts that give no curving to the figure, creating an hourglass silhouette that was all the rage during the Edwardian era. The corsets, made from thin, narrow materials, were boned and elasticated to provide both support and comfort. The boning helped to shape the waist, while the elastic ensured a snug fit. The women in the advertisement exude confidence and poise, their postures accentuating the corsets' slimming effect. John Barker was a leading name in fashion and clothing during the early 1900s, and his undergarments were highly sought after by women who wanted to achieve the ideal figure. The corsets in this advertisement represent the height of Edwardian fashion and the obsession with creating an hourglass figure through clothing. This advertisement is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the fashion trends and cultural norms of the time. It is a reminder of the importance of undergarments in shaping women's bodies and the role they played in defining beauty standards during the early 20th century.
