EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning antique photograph captures the elegance and intricacy of a late 19th century corset, specifically a Peter Robinson Corset Sylphide, dating back to approximately 1890. The corset, which is not to be confused with the Peter Robinson Corporation, was a popular choice among women during this era for its sleek design and effective shaping capabilities. The Sylphide corset, as depicted in this image, is made of a sturdy yet supple material, likely a combination of cotton and steel boning. The exterior is adorned with delicate lace and intricate floral patterns, adding an element of femininity and beauty to an otherwise functional garment. The lacing in the front and back allows for a customized fit, ensuring a flattering silhouette. The wearer of this corset would have worn it as an undergarment, hidden from view but essential in creating the desired hourglass figure. The corset's ability to cinch the waist and lift the bust was a symbol of feminine allure and seduction during this time period. This photograph offers a glimpse into the fashion trends and societal expectations of the late 1800s, providing a fascinating look into the history of women's undergarments and the role they played in shaping the female form. The Peter Robinson Corset Sylphide, with its timeless design and intricate details, remains a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of the past.
