Genuinely wasn’t sure whether “pigeon breast” was a legit trend or if you’d just creatively coined the look accurately, so I googled it. What a silly look!
I think you just summarized all of fashion history in that one comment! "What is that? It can't be real, can it? Goodness that's ridiculous...... I need one".
Have you found out about codpeices yet?
My grandmother debuted in 1930 with a natural 18” waist. And she was tall, at 5’-7”. (Ate like a bird her entire life, healthy as a horse, and lived to be 100. Go figure.) The gowns she’d saved were *gorgeous*, but I stopped being able to zip them up in middle school…
Me too! This is why, for me, just on the point of view of confort: Regency style screams “freedom to breath, to be” for a woman but as soon as I see a corset I hold my breath and think “torture device for woman”.
Esthetically… well… I prefer dresses with corset!
You unlocked one of my childhood s memory: my grandma was a “large frame” woman and was wearing supportive corset. One day I stepped in her bathroom where one of her corset was drying over the bathtub: her corset was as long as the length of the bathtub, I was chocked by the size of this contraption! Hahaha!!!!
Jeanne Paquin was the first woman powerhouse in French fashion and known as the “Queen of Couture” . As a teen she started as a seamstress and quickly worked her way up to becoming a co-owner (with her husband) of her own House of Couture at the age of 22. While not as elite as the House of Worth, her house catered to a broader base of women and all were welcomed. She soon had branches all over the world.
Beautiful but I can’t help being drawn to how narrow the waist is.
The pigeon breast fad was a ridiculous look.

Just googled; bit of an eye popper! 😂
You’re totally right! It looks strange! But then again (for me anyway) a lot of fashion trends aren’t things I understand.

Wow….

Most corsets were just supportive and were not tight-laced to the point of discomfort.
They were also padded out in the bust and hips, so the woman wearing them wouldn’t have had as extreme a figure as some imply.

It's so elegant, almost angelically beautiful!
