EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image, titled "Lessai du corset" or "Fitting of the Corset," captures a moment in time from the late 18th century in France. The photograph depicts an elegant Frenchwoman in her boudoir, seated on a velvet-upholstered chair, as her staymaker carefully adjusts the laces of her corset. The corset, a crucial undergarment for women during this era, was designed to shape and cinch the waist, creating an hourglass figure. The woman's chemise, a simple shift worn underneath, is visible, revealing the intricate process of corset-making. Her lover, dressed in a fashionable robe and waistcoat, watches intently from the side, his expression a mix of admiration and desire. The presence of her lover in the room adds an intimate and sensual element to the scene, suggesting that this fitting is not just a routine affair but a shared experience between the couple. The woman's petticoat, which can be seen peeking out from under her chemise, is a testament to the multiple layers of clothing women wore during this period. The corset, a symbol of femininity and beauty during the 1780s, was a complex and labor-intensive garment, requiring the expertise of a skilled staymaker or corsetier. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the world of 18th-century fashion and the intricate relationship between clothing, intimacy, and desire. The image is a captivating reminder of the rich history of fashion and the role it plays in shaping our cultural identity.
