EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from 1915 showcases a selection of New Military Curve corsets produced by Royal Worcester, a renowned English porcelain manufacturer during the time. The company expanded its product line to include corsetry, responding to the fashion trends of the era. During the Great War (WW1), the military vogue in fashion emerged, influencing women's clothing choices. The New Military Curve corset was designed to create the fashionable silhouette that complemented the full skirts and fitted bodices that were popular underneath gowns. The New Military Curve corset, also known as the Kidfitting corset, was engineered to accentuate the natural curves of a woman's figure. Its innovative design featured a narrow waist and fuller hips, creating an hourglass shape that was highly desirable at the time. The corsets were made from high-quality materials, such as cotton and steel boning, ensuring both comfort and support. The intricate details, including the delicate lace trims and elegant ribbon ties, added a touch of elegance and sophistication. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of fashion during WW1, highlighting how the military influence extended beyond the battlefield and into the world of women's undergarments. The New Military Curve corset represents a significant moment in the evolution of corsetry, as it embraced the changing fashion trends while continuing to prioritize the comfort and support of women.
