Couldn't let her legs be bare for even a moment!<br /><br />The subject of corsets is vexing me at the moment, Joan, as it relates to the early 1900s. I understand even girl children wore corsets and of course women wore them (according to advertising of the day). Do you have any sources to recommend? Truly they seem unnecessary, particularly for slender women, but if they had children wearing them !!!Carol Bodensteinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07453461142694963564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8437568357596254482.post-47134389812362634952012-03-26T19:05:57.225-04:002012-03-26T19:05:57.225-04:00Mmmm.

There was tons of info on the Liberty Bodice, but I snatched this from Wikipedia...<br /><br />The liberty bodice (Australian and British English), like the emancipation bodice or North American emancipation waist, was an undergarment for women and girls invented towards the end of the 19th century, as an innovative alternative to a corset. In the United Kingdom they were well-known for decades, with some older women still using them in the 1970s. A liberty bodice was a simply-shaped sleeveless bodice, often made of warm, fleecy fabric, usually with suspenders (US garters) attached. It might be straight or slightly curvy, and sometimes had buttons to fasten on other underwear: drawers (knickers or US panties) or petticoat/slip. A vest (US undershirt) might be worn underneath. The bodices had no boning, unlike corsets, although some had firm cloth strapping which might encourage good posture.<br /><br />While some writers discuss liberty bodices as a restrictive garment imposed on children,[1] these bodices were originally intended to "liberate" women from the virtually universally-worn, heavily-boned and firmly-laced corsets that were the norm of contemporary fashion.<br /><br />Thanks so much for following the blog.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16683275378918511356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8437568357596254482.post-82376065773961974192012-03-18T15:53:33.249-04:002012-03-18T15:53:33.249-04:00Tell me about it, C&C (: Can't imagine how...Tell me about it, C&C (: Can't imagine how uncomfortable those women must have been.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16683275378918511356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8437568357596254482.post-57292301705521041302012-03-18T11:30:34.027-04:002012-03-18T11:30:34.027-04:00Fascinating.Fascinating.Yvonne Hertzbergerhttp://yvonnehertzberger.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8437568357596254482.post-75538290507956248702012-03-18T06:12:33.547-04:002012-03-18T06:12:33.547-04:00An interesting post!
