My great-grandmas both used binding when they where very young and I know their mothers did for most of their lives. As far as I know there was also a method of pushing the bust up. I just can't quite work up the courage to ask them more about it ^^Butterflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16838492254690525993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6863349942481317862.post-60458795701663987562010-01-09T15:54:52.023-08:002010-01-09T15:54:52.023-08:00Shakespeare in Love!

I have tried to find evidence of that technique being used in the 20's and have found absolutely nothing. Must have been modern foundation garments then.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16621589278068001456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6863349942481317862.post-30362634347360400772010-01-08T09:52:53.051-08:002010-01-08T09:52:53.051-08:00The fabric you have chosen for it is stunning.

I'm really looking forward to your step by step account.<br /><br />I knew women in the 20s bound themselves to be as flat as possible, but for some reason, I never imagined the use of corsets to be involved (I have visions of white muslin fastened across the bust - must have seen that in a film!). I thought the 20s were when corsets were thrown out of the window... but is the truth that it was only the Edwardian mono-bosom that was sent packing, whilst the corset itself kept on going strong?Nathaliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11570545194570856281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6863349942481317862.post-55113742587854617872010-01-06T15:19:39.630-08:002010-01-06T15:19:39.630-08:00Thank you Clare!Thank you Clare!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16621589278068001456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6863349942481317862.post-83299244003790581042010-01-05T11:00:39.035-08:002010-01-05T11:00:39.035-08:00Hi there, just found your blog which looks fascina...Hi there, just found your blog which looks fascinating!
