The huge skirts! The small waists! How did Victorian women manage to create these fashionable looks? With underwear, of course. Throughout the 19th century, women were constantly reshaping their bodies to ever-changing ideals using corsets, hoops, and bustles. Join Leslie Bellais, Curator of Social History at the Wisconsin Historical Society, to take a peak under the dresses of fashionable Victorian ladies, look at the layers of underwear needed to create the ideal silhoutte, and explore how these undergarments reflected societal values.
