EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the 1930s with this vintage advertisement for Wolsey's revolutionary women's underwear, the Aerobelt. This is not just an advertisement for a new product, but a presentation of a new principle in women's undergarments. The Aerobelt was not just cut in the latest Parisian style, but featured an exclusive Lastex fabric, a type of elastic yarn that was the height of innovation at the time. The Aerobelt was marketed as offering "permanent tension two-way stretch," allowing it to support women without strain or coercion. It was designed to prevent riding-up, providing a more comfortable and discreet fit. The model in the advertisement exudes confidence and elegance, showcasing the peach-colored undergarment with pride. The use of the word "exclusive" suggests that the Lastex fabric was a premium material, making the Aerobelt a desirable purchase for women seeking the latest in undergarment technology. The advertisement's tagline, "Not just new, but a new principle!" highlights the groundbreaking nature of the product and its departure from traditional undergarments. This advertisement is a fascinating glimpse into the history of women's underwear and the evolving expectations of comfort and support in undergarments. The 1930s were a time of innovation and progress, and the Aerobelt represents a significant step forward in the development of women's undergarments.
