Selected for inclusion in the 2002 "Books to Remember" list by the New York Public Library Winner of the 2002 Millia Davenport Publication Award, sponsored by the Costume Society of America Named one of the 2001 Best of the Year by the Globe & Mail of Toronto 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 don steel and whalebone corsets for four hundred years? And why did they finally stop? This lavishly illustrated book offers fascinating and often surprising answers to these questions. Valerie Steele, one of the worlds 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. Whereas most historians have framed the history of the corset in terms of oppression vs. liberation and fashion vs. health and comfort, Steele contends that womens experiences of corsetry varied considerably and cannot be fully understood within these narrow frames. Drawing on extensive research in textual, visual, and materials sources, the author disproves the beliefs that the corset was dangerously unhealthy and was designed primarily for the oppression of women. Women persisted in wearing corsetsdespite powerful male authorities trying to dissuade thembecause corsetry had positive connotations of social status, self-discipline, youth, and beauty. In the twentieth century the garment itself fell out of fashion but, Steele points out, it has become internalized as women replace the boned corset with diet, exercise, and plastic surgery. The book concludes with insightful analyses of such recent developments as the reconception of the corset as a symbol of rebellion and female sexual empowerment, the revival of the corset in contemporary high fashion, and its transformation from an item of underwear to outerwear. Valerie Steele is chief curator and acting director, The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology, State Univer

Covering the world history of costume, dress, and style from antiquity through the end of the 19th century, the great workconsolidated in 1888 into 6 volumes containing nearly 500 platesremains, to this day, completely unique in its scope and detail.

Perusing these beautifully detailed and exquisitely colored illustrations, youll discover everything from the garb of ancient Etruscans to traditional Eskimo attire to 19th century French womens couture.
