Admirer Boyfriend Cheeky Corset Dressed Lingerie Mirror Note Saucy Sexy Suggestion Suitor Underclothes Underwear
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming and slightly saucy image from the early 1910s, a young woman stands before a mirror, adjusting the straps of her corset, a note in hand. The note reads, "Come as you are," a suggestive invitation from an admirer or suitor. The playful tone of the note is hinted at by the mischievous smile on the woman's face. The scene is set in an intimate setting, with a table nearby, suggesting a private moment of reflection or preparation. The woman's underclothes, or lingerie, are on full display, adding to the allure of the image. The corset, a symbol of feminine beauty and curves, is a common piece of undergarment worn during this era. Despite the saucy note, the woman seems unsure of whether to take the sender at his word. The image invites the viewer to wonder if she will indeed "come as she is," or if she will choose to dress up for her admirer. The historical context of the image adds an intriguing layer of meaning, as it reflects the changing attitudes towards female sexuality and the role of undergarments in shaping the female form during this time. Overall, this image is a delightful glimpse into the past, capturing the playful and seductive nature of human relationships.
