The Evolution of Corsetry from early examples to the present day. Presentation and discussion with Jane Beagrie

As part of the 50th Anniversary of Alton Community Association we are looking into the history of corsetry as a nod to the buildings previous use as a factory involved in the
Manufacture of Foundation Garments

The art and craft of creating corsets has undergone significant transformations throughout history from its early examples to contemporary designs. Corsetry has evolved in terms of materials, construction techniques and societal significance. This pre4sentation delves into the rich history of corsetry, highlighting key developments and examples to illustrate its journey. Looking back at centuries and decades of development is an interesting journey and is a journey through historic events which have shaped fashion. As world renowned British Miliner Stephen Jones once said “Today’s fashion is tomorrows costume”
