EDITORS COMMENTS
This fashion plate from the late 19th century showcases the elegance and intricacy of corsets, a staple undergarment in women's fashion during that era. The print, titled "Fashion plate for La Vie Parisienne depicting corsets" is a vibrant colour engraving that exudes sophistication and style. The image transports us back to a time when corsets were not only functional but also considered fashionable accessories. The attention to detail in this artwork highlights the craftsmanship involved in creating these garments, with delicate lace trims and intricate boning patterns on display. The bustle silhouette depicted in this print was popular during the 1870s, characterized by its exaggerated curves at the rear. Corsets played an essential role in achieving this shape, as they cinched the waist tightly while providing support for padding or additional layers of fabric. Intriguingly, this image offers a glimpse into both intimate apparel and high fashion of its time. It reminds us of how lingerie has evolved over centuries and serves as a testament to women's enduring pursuit of beauty throughout history. Displayed at Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France, this enchanting piece captures our imagination with its timeless allure. As we admire it today through eArchives Charmet courtesy of Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of the everlasting influence that historical fashions continue to have on contemporary design aesthetics.
