I just need to address this One section. Everything else I generally agree with but 20s fashion did not exclude corsetry. It just transformed into a different shape, focused on compressing the bust and hips. This also supports the idea that this wasn��t a deliberate move to make women thinner, because at this time it was still normal to use shape-wear to achieve a silhouette instead of modifying your body. Here are some examples of what a ‘corset’ looked like in the 20s (though there were quite a few other types of undergarments in this time):

You also. left out an entire sentence from that smithsonian quote that acknowledges that shape-wear was used (though clearly these ‘tubes’ were not always elastic or unboned as we see above and I disagree strongly with how they decided to word this; a “structured version of spanx” doesn’t actually sound more “freeing” than a corset? + Women could breathe perfectly fine in corsets… etc)

OP’s ideas definitely stem from the myth that the 20s got rid of corsetry, as no one with a naturally curvy body could achieve that boyish silhouette without it. So what can you assume except that women were modifying their bodies if you are also assuming they no longer used shape-wear? Arguably, it was the shorter, looser skirts that allowed for more mobility (as opposed to certain belle epoque styles like the hobble skirt, for example, though I don’t think its useful to view 20s fashion as a full rejection of previous trends; there were some fashion ideas that started in the 1900s-1910s that stayed and it was more of a gradual change. Skirts included) or things like the use of spiral steeled boning in shape-wear like in the advertisement above. Certain kinds of undergarments were less restrictive but some were more restrictive, and it would depend on your natural body type which kind you might choose to achieve this look. We still haven’t technically stopped using shape-wear ever, we have just at some point turned to modifying our natural bodies being the more acceptable method of fitting the fashionable shape.

Most women’s fashion trends were mainly driven by women. Men hated hourglass corsets (which were not necessarily constricting unless you wanted them to be; women worked while wearing stays/corsets/etc for centuries) and crinolines when they were in fashion too! I heavily agree that what women wear is generally not a big patriarchal conspiracy. There are certainly times when it intersects with patriarchy, but it is not typically an explicit function of the clothing. I believe acknowledging shapewear/corsetry as not being extremely restrictive garments (“forced on women by the patriarchy”) is vital to making this argument.

I cannot copy the link but if you’re curious about 1920s undergarments Nicole Rudolph has a great comprehensive video on them called “How Flappers Got Their Figure: the 1920s Silhouette” on youtube.

The fact that thinness came in vogue (as seen in popular culture, magazines, fashion models, etc.) in the 1920s when women got the right to vote is telling. We got real, tangible power and then were told to be thin to achieve beauty, and sickly thin too. The kind of thin with no muscles, no power. It is not surprising to me that our beauty standards keep women physically weaker, physically starving, and mentally exhausted. The beauty standard is nothing more than a tool to keep women weak, docile, poor, and too tired to act.

“Sobby I bissed it,” Adrien said with a wet snort, frantically attempting to wipe his nose with his pajama sleeve. “Nadalie bade be sday hobe.” God, everything felt scratchy—he wished he could have Plagg take his skin off, though he knew that would only make things worse. A Cataclysm up his nose, though—that would hit the spot right about now.

Ladybug unslung her backpack and placed it on his desk. “Honestly, I’m glad she did,” she said with a chuckle. “You don’t get nearly enough time off, Kitten.”

“I’b fide,” Adrien protested, trying vainly to sit up in bed. “Deald wib worse.”

Ladybug reached into her backpack and pulled out a notebook. “Your face looked green in class today,” she said. “There’s no way that’s a healthy color.”

“Dode bock me,” he grumbled, turning away from her. It was bad enough she knew his identity and he didn’t know hers—the constant reminders of how close she was only aggravated him more, because no matter how many hints she dropped, he couldn’t seem to figure it out.

She pressed her hand against his forehead, and he mewled involuntarily at the feel of the cool spandex against his skin, closing his eyes and pressing into her touch.

“Kwami,” Ladybug breathed. “No wonder she kept you home. What’s your temperature?”

“Dirdy-nibe,” he grumbled.

“Thirty-nine?” she gasped. “Adrien, why were you even at school?”

He pouted for a second, acutely aware of how much larger his lips seemed than usual. “Wanded do... see you,” he mumbled.

Ladybug sat on the bed next to him, gently stroking his hair. “You wouldn’t have even known it was me,” she said.

He purred quietly under her fingers as she massaged his scalp. “Doesnd badder,” he said. “Sbend dime wid you.”

“You knew I was coming over after school with your notes,” she murmured. “I wouldn’t have minded waiting.”

Then her hands pulled away, and he mewled again, this time in distress. “Hang on, Kitty,” she said. “I’m getting you something.” She walked over to the desk, unzipped her backpack, and pulled out a thermos, holding it up. “I made chicken soup.”

Adrien smiled. “Anybun eber dell you you’re de besd girlfriend eber?”

She walked back over to his bed, unscrewing the thermos’ metal cap. “Only you,” she said. “Every day. For the last three weeks.”

“Bell, you are,” he snorted, taking the thermos from her hands and raising it to his lips. Oh, Cats, he could feel himself hydrating—the salt tasted heavenly, and the noodles were just soft enough against his hypersensitive gums. He swallowed around what felt like a pointed obstruction in his throat. “I lub you.”

“Aw, beau gosse,” Ladybug said, leaning down to peck him on the forehead. “I lub you too.”

Doodles. Working on a series of these for different eras. Each will have a popular frame of reference for the style. This is an Edwardian corset c. 1901, called an S-Curve or S-Bend. The style lasted about 10-ish years and gave "Gibson Girls" their iconic shape. #art #illustration #fashion #historicalfashion #corset #sbend #gibson #edwardian #gibsongirl #underpinnings #doodles #lettering #artnouveau #corsetry #laceitup
