Description

Corsets and Crinolines is Norah Waugh's definitive exploration of how women's silhouettes transformed across four centuries. From simple laced bodices to elaborate steel-boned corsets, this classic work traces the evolution of women's dress through three distinct periods. The 1500s to 1670 saw the rise of farthingales and whaleboned bodies that created dramatic shapes. The 1670 to 1800 era introduced stays and hooped petticoats that refined the fashionable silhouette. Finally, from 1800 to 1925, corsets, crinolines and bustles dominated women's fashion, reflecting changing aesthetics and social norms. Waugh reveals the cyclical patterns underlying these fashions, explaining how waists, skirts and overall proportions shifted dramatically as cultural values evolved. This comprehensive history combines detailed descriptions with insights into the structural garments that shaped women's bodies and defined beauty standards across generations.

Key Features

Norah Waugh examines four centuries of women's dress history spanning from the 1500s through the 1920s with scholarly detail and accessible writing.

Three distinct eras are explored in depth: farthingales and whaleboned bodies from 1500-1670, stays and hooped petticoats from 1670-1800, and corsets and bustles from 1800-1925.

The book explains how corsets evolved from cane and whalebone construction to steel reinforcement, transforming the shape and support of women's fashion.

Published by Routledge, this classic work reveals the cyclical nature of fashion trends and the relationship between garment structure and cultural values across centuries.
