How to Get that Titanic-era Silhouette

Here's what our fore-mothers wore under those gorgeous Edwardian gowns. This period corset in lace trimmed satin, creates a straight silhouette from nipple-line to knees.

The generous waist gave women a needed break from the cinched in corsets of the Victorian period (see image at right), but they weren't completely free from restrictions, as many of these corsets underpinned hobble skirts that were popular for a time.


I am packing up today for the first of our Unsinkable Fashion exhibits where we'll show some beautiful Titanic era gowns and have some fun talking about the underpinnings.  

I'll be sure and take my camera.
