A nostalgic piece traces corset history from ancient girdles to steel boned garments. It notes fashion claims of rust-proof steel corsets that kept waists slim while enduring wear, with mentions of builders promising comfort and durability through centuries.
The text notes a transition from curved front corsets to straight front garments, marking a change in style. The new silhouette, termed the Kangas Foo Figure, defined milady's shaping and altered waist and torso presentation.
The article notes the first step toward longer corsets shaping the 1910 silhouette as the bustle vanished and natural figures reemerged. Advertising becomes blunt and openly sells corsets, with images of fully corseted women and even children in ads, highlighting social attitudes.
