EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the roaring twenties with the latest fashion in women's undergarments from Gorringes, as advertised in the Illustrated London News in 1927. This elegant advertisement showcases the newest addition to F.G. Ravissant's collection of wrap-around corsets, a trend that was all the rage during this era. These undergarments were a departure from the heavy, restrictive corsets of the past, featuring a lighter boning structure that allowed for greater comfort and ease of movement. The delicately embroidered silk lacing and ribbon detailing add a touch of femininity and sophistication to these undergarments. The buttons on the side further enhance the wrap-around design, making it easy to put on and take off. The slip, another essential piece of women's underwear during this time, is also featured in the advertisement, showcasing its simple yet elegant design. The use of silk, a luxurious and expensive fabric, added to the allure of these undergarments, making them a desirable addition to any woman's wardrobe. The 1920s were a decade of change, with women embracing new freedoms and expressing their individuality through their fashion choices. These undergarments reflected this trend, allowing women to feel confident and comfortable in their own skin while staying true to the fashion of the time. This advertisement is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of women's undergarments during the 1920s. The intricate details and elegant design of the undergarments showcase the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating these pieces. Whether you're a fashion historian, a collector of vintage advertisements, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of bygone eras, this advertisement is sure to captivate and inspire.
