EDITORS COMMENTS
This advertisement from the year 1906 showcases an elegant corset offered by the renowned retailer, William Whiteley. The corset, designed for women, is depicted in an enticing frontal view, revealing its striking features. The corset boasts a low cut at the bust, accentuating the neckline and shoulders, while the hips are rounded, creating an hourglass silhouette. The corset is made of fine batiste fabric, which was popular during the Edwardian era for its lightweight and breathable qualities. The corset also includes suspender straps and grips, which were essential components of undergarments during this time. Suspender straps were used to hold up stockings, while grips ensured the corset stayed in place, providing support and shaping. The straight fronted design of the corset was a common choice for women seeking a streamlined look. This advertisement, published by the Illustrated London News Ltd, offers a glimpse into the fashion trends of the early 1900s. The corset, while often associated with restrictiveness and discomfort, was a crucial part of women's undergarments during this period. The intricate details and elegant design of this corset demonstrate the artistry and craftsmanship that went into creating high-quality undergarments during the Edwardian era. This advertisement is a captivating reminder of the fashion history and the role of undergarments in shaping women's bodies and self-presentation.
