Corset Week

We learned Corset Week starts June 27 thanks to The Lingerie Addict.

We wanted to learn more about it and we read it started back in 1952! It was introduced by the British as a marketing campaign on TV. 

Elizabeth Ewing, in Dress and Undress, wrote (speaking about England): "So prestigious was the corset that in the 1950s the whole nation was alerted to it by the event called National Corset Week. It sounds incredible now, but there was about this time a spate of such weeks, devoted to promoting sales of various items of apparel, including gloves and millinery. It was claimed there were about 1000 shop window displays of corsets in shops and stores all over the country, during the first National Corset week of 1952. 

 Corsets today are much more comfortable and sexier! You don't have to faint in a corset anymore.
