The corset is probably the most controversial garment in the history of fashion. Although regarded as an essential element of fashionable dress from the Renaissance into the twentieth century, the corset was also frequently condemned as an instrument of torture and the cause of ill-health. Why did women continue to wear steel and whalebone corsets for four-hundred years? And why did they finally stop? This lavishly illustrated, 200-page softback book offers fascinating and often surprising answers to these questions. Valerie Smith, one of the world's most respected fashion historians, explores the cultural history of the corset, demolishing myths about this notorious garment and revealing new information and perspectives on its changing significance over the centuries.
