Description
Corsets and Crinolines explores the changing shapes of women's dress from the 1500s to the 1920s. This period saw a cyclical evolution in fashion, with garments such as corsets, farthingales, hoops, and bustles emerging over time.
The book delves into each era, describing how these garments originated, became popular, and emerged as central to the fashions of the time. It also features extracts from diaries, journals, poems, and newspapers, along with over 100 illustrations, showcasing the variety of these ubiquitous items throughout modern history.
For costume makers and designers, Corsets and Crinolines offers practical notes and resources, including scaleable patterns for constructing various garments and detailed appendices on their manufacture. A glossary of terms and materials is also included to aid in understanding and working with historical clothing.
