A Supporting Role (Corset and Bra)
Description
From the whalebone corset to the push-up bra, foundation garments have shaped fashion throughout the 20th century. The corset that had so restricted women was finally swept out, along with Victorian morals, after World War I. The brassiere was hailed in the '20s and burned in the '70s. Whether pointed in the '50s or padded in the '90s, it is an architectural masterpiece - and still has to be assembled by hand.
