Bed Room Chemise Corset Corsets Dressing Longer Petticoat Puts Putting Skirt Slim Underwear Watched Momma
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time from 1903, as a slim young girl carefully puts on her corset in the privacy of her bedroom. The intricate details of her historical costume, including the petticoat and chemise, transport us back to the Edwardian era.
What makes this image truly special is the presence of her no-longer-slim mother watching over her with a mix of nostalgia and perhaps even envy. The contrast between the two figures - one youthful and slender, the other more mature and fuller-figured - adds an emotional depth to this scene.
As we observe this intimate moment between mother and daughter, we are reminded of how fashion standards have evolved over time. Corsets were once considered essential for achieving a desired silhouette, but today they are often seen as restrictive and uncomfortable.
The composition of this photograph is striking, with soft lighting casting a warm glow over the room. The attention to detail in both costume and setting is impeccable, thanks to Mary Evans Picture Library's expertise in capturing historical moments like these.
Overall, "Putting on her Corset" is not just a snapshot from history; it's a glimpse into the complex relationships women have with their bodies and clothing throughout different eras.
