Early Stays (1 Jan 1700 Jahr – 22 Mai 1716 Jahr)
Beschreibung:
The stays, or corset, of the early 18th century, were long-waisted and cut with a narrow back, wide front, and shoulder straps. They were lined with whalebone in order to be stiff. The most fashionable stays pulled the shoulders back until the shoulder blades almost touched. The resulting silhouette pictured shoulders that were thrown back, creating a very erect posture and a high, full bosom; this is characteristic of this period and no other.
