A Slimmer Waistline - The Magic of Royal Worcester Corsets, 1914
EDITORS COMMENTS
As the world geared up for the great conflict that was to be known as World War I, women continued to prioritize their appearance and fashion. In the early 1910s, the hourglass figure began to give way to a more slender silhouette, and the corset became an essential undergarment for achieving this desirable look. This image from the Illustrated London News Ltd. showcases the transformative power of the Royal Worcester corset, produced in 1914. The photograph features a woman standing in front of a full-length mirror, her back to the viewer, as she examines her reflection. Her slim waistline, accentuated by the corset, is the focal point of the image. The corset, made by the renowned Royal Worcester Corset Company, is expertly laced and cinches her waist, creating an hourglass figure that was highly sought after during this era. The corset's elegant design, adorned with intricate lace and delicate floral patterns, adds a touch of femininity and sophistication to the overall look. The woman's expression in the mirror suggests a sense of satisfaction and self-assurance, as she appreciates the effects of the corset on her figure. The vanity mirror, a symbol of self-care and beauty, further emphasizes the importance of maintaining a desirable appearance, even during times of great turmoil and change. This image offers a glimpse into the fashion trends and cultural values of the early 20th century, providing a fascinating insight into the role of undergarments in shaping women's bodies and self-perception. The Royal Worcester corset, with its slimming effects and elegant design, was a testament to the power of fashion and the enduring desire for a perfect figure.
