When talking corsetry, the most interesting period of fashion is the period from 1820 to about 1910. But the corset is much older than that. In Europe, it has been in general use as an undergarment since the middle ages, but it probably dates several thousands of years back. The corset has at all times been used for shaping the body, most often for compressing the waist, but sometimes for raising the bust. The most widespread use of corsets was in the 19th century. Contrary to common belief, almost all women of every class wore corsets in those times.
Other accoutrements included `bracesâ or what we call suspenders were used to hold up a gentlemanâs. drawers and trousers. And men did wear a form of corset to keep a tapered waist. Women of the age did not travel so lightly. The primary under garment was the chemise or smock. sometimes called a shift. Usually made of cotton or linen it was knee length, straight with a square or. round neck opening. Sleeves were short with a gusset in the armpit. A few had longer sleeves.
