Edwardian Corset 1901-1908
This corset was all the rage during the early years of the 20th C. It
will give you the typical S-Silhouette of that time. It is straight in front
and held closed by a corset busk, while the back is curved and the hips pushed
back. The cut of the "Straight-Fronted" Corset is said to have been invented
by Inez Gaches-Sarrautes - a french woman with a degree in medicine - at
the turn of the century. It was considered a "Health Corset" because it was
designed not to compress the waist or chest. Despite Mme. Gaches-Sarrautes
efforts to create a "Health Corset", the fashionable women still tightened
the waist so much so that the health effects were of course lost. PP106 EURO 16.00
