19th Century Fashion Corset Glasgow Underwear

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a piece of social history in the form of a corset from the Fitu Corset Company, based in Scotland's Glasgow during the late 19th century. Made from cotton, metal, and silk, this intricate garment showcases the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating women's undergarments at that time. The black cotton twill corset is adorned with delicate light blue silk embroidery around the decolletage, adding a touch of elegance to its structure. Fastening at the center front with a steel split busk featuring slots and studs, this corset was designed for both style and functionality. With twelve panels forming its bodice and metal bones providing structure, this corset would have been essential for achieving the fashionable silhouette of the era. The light blue silk flossing further highlights the quality of materials used in its construction. Labelled as 'The World Renowned Fitu Corsets', this piece represents not only a fashion statement but also a symbol of societal norms and expectations surrounding women's attire during that period. It serves as a reminder of how clothing can reflect cultural values and ideals throughout history.
