EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the past and experience the allure of the Corset Department at Crowley-Milner Department Store in Detroit, Michigan, circa 1940s. This photograph offers a glimpse into the world of fashion and undergarments during an era when the corset reigned supreme. The elegantly dressed shopgirls, with their polished appearances and welcoming smiles, are ready to assist customers in selecting the perfect corset from an array of exquisitely displayed boxes. The counter, adorned with ornate decorations, serves as the stage for the corset demonstration. The vendeuse, or sales assistant, skillfully adjusts the corset on a model, showcasing its ability to shape and accentuate the figure. The intricate details of the corset, from its lacing to its boning, are on full display, revealing the craftsmanship and dedication to quality that defined the era's undergarments. The Crowley-Milner Department Store, a renowned establishment in Detroit, offered a diverse range of clothing, costumes, and fashions to its customers. The Corset Department, however, was a standout, catering to the desire for a sleek, hourglass silhouette that was the epitome of femininity and allure in the 1940s. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of the corset and the role it played in shaping the fashion landscape of America during this iconic period in history.
