18th
century stays
This
corset is inspired by the time when court dresses were the more
blazing... Who didn't dream to resemble to the Marchioness of
Pompadour or to Marie-Antoinette?
Its
great difference with the later victorian corsets is its conical
form: it smoothly slims the whole trunk by a straight line from
armpits to waist, where it stops, instead of marking a curve and
going down on the hips. This very straight form makes a
spectacular push-up for the breast. It is a little less easy to
wear than the other styles because it is quite heavily boned;
but what an extraordinary look for a very special day or evening,
where you will attract all glances !

All
the fabrics are of course possible, but this corset seems
quite naturally to call the most beautiful brocades which
evoke the eighteenth century. It would be also splendid in
toile de Jouy: a heavy cotton fabric created in French
weaving shed at that time. And what would be more amusing
than playing marchioness in a corset all decorated with
gallant marchionesses and shepherds?
