As recently as 70 years ago, foundation garments, as corsets were called,
were fundamental to the way that women dressed. This film features author Eleri
Lynn shot in one of the V&A's most evocative storerooms as she leads us on a
tour of a long hidden world. Eleri's brief history of shapewear starts with the
hourglass and S-bend forms - and steel and whalebone engineering - of Victorian
and Edwardian corsets carries on through the breast-flattening bandeau bras worn
by 1920s flappers, the New Look underwear of Christian Dior, the conicle bullet
bras of the 1950s and concludes with the arrival of Lycra in the 1960s and the
renaissance of corsetry through the new popularity of burlesque.
