EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library titled "What Corsets Do" offers a glimpse into the historical practice of wearing corsets and the effects they had on women in the Victorian era. The image showcases a young girl dressed in a stunning costume, complete with a tightly laced corset underneath.
Corsets were not only fashionable undergarments during this time but also served to shape and mold a woman's figure to conform to societal standards of beauty. However, as seen in this photograph, the extreme tightness of corsets could have harmful consequences for girls and women alike.
The visual representation of how corsets deformed the body is evident in the girl's posture and silhouette. The constriction caused by these garments often led to physical deformities such as compressed ribs, difficulty breathing, and even organ damage.
Despite their harmful effects, corsets remained popular throughout much of history due to their ability to create an exaggerated hourglass figure that was considered desirable at the time. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices women made in pursuit of beauty and fashion trends.
Through this thought-provoking photo print, viewers are transported back to 1881 when corsets reigned supreme but also shed light on the darker side of these restrictive garments.
