Step into the roaring twenties with this elegant and innovative fashion find - the Silk Cami-bocker of 1926. This illustration showcases the then-new style cami-bocker, a chic and comfortable undergarment made from artificially produced silk. The cami-bocker was a groundbreaking addition to women's wardrobes, offering both support and comfort in a sleek and stylish package. The illustration, dated December 7, 1926, was published in the Illustrated London News, showcasing the cami-bocker's modern design and the importance of fashion imports from abroad. The cami-bocker was available at popular fashion retailers such as Dorothy Perkins, making this trendy new style accessible to women across the country. The cami-bocker was a departure from the heavy, restrictive undergarments of the past. Its lightweight and breathable fabric allowed for greater freedom of movement and comfort, making it a must-have for the active and modern woman of the 1920s. The camisole top and short shorts design also offered a sleek and streamlined look under clothing, adding to the overall fashionable appearance of the wearer. The artificially produced silk used in the cami-bocker was a testament to the technological advancements of the time, allowing for the creation of high-quality, affordable silk without the need for traditional silk farming. This innovation not only made the cami-bocker a fashionable choice but also an environmentally conscious one, as it reduced the demand for traditional silk production. This illustration is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the evolution of fashion and the importance of innovation and technology in shaping the way we dress. The Silk Cami-bocker of 1926 remains a testament to the enduring allure of fashion and the excitement of discovering new trends.
