The Shape of Fashion and Its Underpinnings, 1870-1960
URL: http://muse.museum.montana.edu/sof/

Description:
See what undergarments helped create the shape of women's fashions in the late-19th through mid-20th centuries. "From a tight corset and layer upon layer of undergarments to a simple brassiere, the transition in women's foundations tells the story of their journey toward liberation." Features images of underwear and corresponding clothing for the bustle period, jazz age, Dior's "New Look," and more. From the Museum of the Rockies, Bozeman, Montana.
