EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage illustration from 1929 showcases the Fitu maternity and post-operation corset, a garment designed to provide support and comfort for women during pregnancy and after surgery. The intricate details of the corset's design reflect the fashion trends of the 1920s, with its sleek lines and delicate lace accents.
During this time period, maternity wear was often more restrictive than it is today, with corsets being commonly worn to help shape the body and provide support for growing bellies. The Fitu corset depicted in this print exemplifies both functionality and style, featuring adjustable straps and panels that can accommodate changes in size as needed.
The post-operation aspect of this corset indicates that it was also used for medical purposes, providing compression and stability for patients recovering from surgeries. This dual functionality speaks to the versatility of clothing during this era, where garments were expected to serve multiple purposes beyond just aesthetics.
Overall, this illustration offers a glimpse into the sartorial choices of women in the late 1920s, showcasing how even undergarments were carefully crafted to meet both practical needs and fashionable standards. It serves as a reminder of how fashion has always been intertwined with function throughout history.
