EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures the comparison of women's national waists in Austria, England, and France during the late Victorian era, as depicted in various fashion magazines in April 1888. The image features three mannequins dressed in traditional attire from each country, showcasing the distinctive waists achieved through the use of corsets. In the foreground, an Austrian woman's waist is accentuated by a tightly laced corset, creating an hourglass figure that was considered desirable in the Alpine nation. The English woman, on the right, wears a more modest corset, which still produces a slim waist but with a slightly more relaxed fit. The French woman, on the left, is shown with a natural waistline, as indicated by the statue in the background, which represents the classical ideal of a woman's figure. The corset was a ubiquitous fashion accessory during this time, with women wearing them to achieve an idealized hourglass shape. Doctors and health professionals warned against the potential health risks associated with the use of corsets, including respiratory problems and digestive issues. Despite these concerns, the fashion remained popular, and women continued to wear them to conform to societal expectations. This photograph serves as a fascinating glimpse into the cultural differences and shared fashion trends of the late 1800s, as well as the enduring influence of classical ideals on women's fashion. The image is a reminder of the complex relationship between personal identity, societal norms, and the desire to conform to beauty standards.
