Edwardian era

By the Edwardian era, with some increase in women's physical activities, the corset started to retreat southwards again (see below), becoming more like a girdle, accompanied by the appearance of a separate upper garment, the Bust Bodice, or BB. For those who instead wore a one piece undershift (unionsuit), this separated into the camisole and drawers. These were not designed for 'support' but merely coverage.

Women's dress emphasize an 'S' shape, indrawn stomach with emphasised posterior and bust. In the late 1800s and early 1900s the bosom could still be displayed. 'The high-water mark of modesty would ebb after sunset some six inches!'[5] Corsets remained the main form of 'support', but war and its impact on lifestyle and materials meant that its future was uncertain.
