Relevancy Of Corset Women

It was pointed out that women were likely to remain the weaker sex as long as they were encased in whalebone and confined their physical activity to the decorous movements of the ballroom, and the new "doctrine of hygiene" as it was coyly termed advocated sports for women and Rational Dress. Many young women pedalled their way to undreamt-of freedoms on the newly popular bicycle; petticoats and chaperons were equally inappropriate accompaniments, and could be discarded in one go.8

The “Inner Corset” by the Laura Fraser is about how people in the United State from 1880 to 1920 start from being heavy to thin. At the beginning the women were sexy if they were heavy and it was a sign that they belong to a rich family that they could afford buying food, but since times goes people ideology start changing. Then society influences the women to be thin which makes them more beautiful, and man would love them more. In the twentieth century the image of thin started changing and the woman were facing some diseases. According to The Inner Corset “When many women ventured out of their homes and away from their strict roles as mothers, they left behind the Plump and reproductive physique, which began to seem old-fashioned next to

As the 1900's progressed, women were presented with new inventions which slowly took the place of traditional corsets. With the start of World War I, women began to enter the work-force and many of these women worked as laborers in factories, making daily corset wear a problem. In 1917 the U.S. War Industries board even requested that women stop buying corsets to reduce consumption of metal. Some sources say that up to 28,000 tons of metal was conserved through this effort.

One such garment that has been very popular in the yesteryears and is still relevant today is the waist trainer or a corset. Recall a Victorian Gown in its full grandeur. How elegant those dresses looked on those women with tiny waists! Corsets played a significant role in those years. They are still much in use today. Let’s explore how useful and practical these garments are in the fast and busy life of today’s women and also explore some exceptional waist trainers available.

Queen Elizabeth I, in fact, had a special type of corset made for her called the effigy corset. This corset had three sections and tied in the front. Corsets of the Queen were very different from what one thinks of as corsets today (Leed). Queen Elizabeth I, and most of the women of her time, wore corsets made to essentially shape the body into a tube-like shape. Typically, women wore corsets made from linen and stiff rope to hold the shape, but as Drea Leed said, “Queen Elizabeth had dozens of pairs of bodies [corsets] made of ‘taphata, sattin and vellet’ (taffeta, satin and velvet), according to the wardrobe accounts of the Master of the Queen's Closet.” Even though the corsets were made of different materials, they still mimicked the Queen’s fashion lead. Although Elizabeth I definitely made popular the corset and the body shape it helped women to achieve, she did not introduce the corset. The garment was first seen around this time on the nobles of Spain. Therefore, even if she did not create the garment herself, just her wearing something would soon cause her subjects to desire the look, which demonstrates how powerful of a force she was in the fashion world of the Renaissance

The role of women in society during the 1800s were to respect their husbands and be house wives. No life expectations were placed upon these women other than being a loyal wife to their husbands. Furthermore, the sports that were practised in school were light and gentle drills to prepare the girls for marriage and motherhood. However, a very small amount of the sports were open to women which lead to little amounts of women participation in sports. Even if the women had the talent or the dreams to become accepted in a certain sport, they were either humiliated by people in society or they were just plainly embarrassed to have taken a liking to a certain sport. Moreover, there was a certain type of body figure that every women strived to have, and this was the hourglass figure. This impacted the type of clothing they wore while playing sport to socialise. These clothing were heavy and modest which covered up much of their skin so these women did not show any inappropriate parts of their body.

Corsets first became popular in the mid-16th century and have changed in shape and purpose throughout history. Corsets are still worn by some women today (mostly Europeans). A corset is a garment that shapes the torso and hips of a woman for beauty and to get a desired “shape” and thinness. A corset would keep the wearer’s body straight and in an almost cone-like shape. The 18th century corsets were worn mostly to create a very skinny, stiff upper body while wearing large, wide, and bulky skirts. This was a popular style for parties and other public appearances. By the early 19th century the purpose of the corset changed to being worn for the sole purpose of supporting the breasts. Corsets at this time became much shorter and only went around the middle torso area. They still shrunk the torso slightly, but this was not their main purpose. The mid-19th century brought corsets to the Victorian style of the “hourglass” shaped torso. Although this was a very widely popular fashion, it still had negative effects. Corsets were notorious for being extremely uncomfortable to wear. Women who obsessively wore corsets were sometime described as “slave to fashion”. This means that although the corsets got desired results, they were not good for your health. Main negative results of this fashion were serious constipation and indigestion. More rare, but even more serious and dangerous side effects resulted, including

It is very likely that you have heard about waist trainers and cinchers, as they are growing in popularity. This growing trend has added to an influx of corset companies placing new products on the market. On the one hand, this leads to a greater selection which can be extremely beneficial to consumers. On the flip side of the coin, however, are the endless knockoffs that are not offering the same benefits as many of the higher end trainers and cinchers.

This investigation aims to reveal why portions of Western society sustained negative attitudes toward corsetry throughout the four centuries in which corsets were widely used. Corsets were worn under women’s clothes daily between the fifteenth and the twentieth centuries, and were used to protect the organs and improve the posture of men as well as correct scoliosis. After they fell out of use in the early 1900s, they continued to be a symbol of oppression and the macabre, and an analysis of the views of those who saw corsets that way reveals medical misinformation and a misogynistic view of women to be the source of distrust of corsets.

On the other hand, the poor were very different they did not wear corsets because they had to do physical labour like working on farms and factories they made their own dresses and wore the same thing every day they had few dresses and only wore them on special occasions. If they were servants, they would wear clothes that their masters no longer wanted the children wore clothes that their older siblings used to wear and the clothes were usually too big and scruffy

“In freeing women from corsets and dissolving the fortified grander of the obdurate, hyperbolic silhouette, Poiret effected a concomitant revolution in dressmaking, one that shifted the emphasis away from the skills of tailoring to those based on the skills of draping” (Conger, 2013)

Bespoke Threads was formed by Alsion with a vision of creating her own company and stop working for other people. Along with a colleague from her old company she formed a partnership and they worked really well together. There was a lot of discussion on retail ideas, but they came to the conclusion of custom made (‘bespoke’) clothing for women. This was an opportunity as bespoke was not yet available in Australia.

When looking back on the Victorian era and comparing it to our current age we don’t think that they have much in common. In the last two hundred years the values and attitudes that Americans hold have drastically changed from what they were during that age. Today it’s more common to find someone being rude in public than it is for someone to give a kind complement to a stranger or to even help someone that has fallen. The Victorian era might seem so far away that it has no effect on society today but to a certain extent we are affected by it. It might not be in the manners or the etiquette we have but in a sense the demeanor in which we carry ourselves and certain fashionable items which we use are influenced by the era. The evidence of this influence is in our attempts to make a good first impression and how we display our wealth. Most importantly the evidence is in certain items of fashion we wear such as corsets and the manner in which we wear these elaborate outfits to show that we are socially superior. In the twenty-first century society has come to a point where it revolves around what products you wear and who the designer is. Not only that, but if you go against what society deems as acceptable you are considered a lesser, unfortunate individual. I will be using corsets to show the comparison between the common corset and the Victorian era corset. I will also be arguing that while the fashion might have changed the needed to be fashionable has not. In
