With thanks to the @blackfashionhistorypodcast on Spotify for another fantastic episode exploring the life ands work of African American designer Zelda Wynn Valdez. If you love learning abour fashion history then I highly recommend having a listen. After starting her own dressmaking business in the 1930s, Zelda Wynn Valdez, opened the first black business on Broadway (1948) with her boutique 'Chez Zelda' selling figure hugging dresses to celebrities including movie star Dorothy Dandridge, opera diva Jessye Norman, and singer Gladys Knight. Valdes also dressed the entire bridal party for the 1948 wedding of Marie Ellington, aka Maria Cole and Nat King Cole and created a new look for singer Joyce Bryant dubbed the 'Black Marilyn Monroe' Zelda Wynn Valdez, however may be best known for designing the original Playboy bunny costume comissioned by Hugh Heffner for the Playboy playmates of the first Playboy club in 1960. The iconic outfit were the first uniform to be patented by the United States patents and trademark office. #fashionhistory #blackfashionhistory #blackdesigners #thingsyoushouldknow #vintagestylenotvintagevalues #playboybunny #playboycostume #blackhistory #corsethistory #vintagecorset #vintagewednesday https://www.instagram.com/p/CBP1pSbg-Bt/?igshid=1064ba3s8dzh0

#vintagewednesday Thrilled with the how this historically inspired longline corset turned out. A few years back I went to the Undressed exhibition at the V&A. Swipe across to the C1917 German Ersatz corset from the collection which initially inspired me for this piece. During WW1 with acute shortages of supplies across Europe substitute materials were used within corsetry. The original corset is made from woven paper twine. I loved the shape of this style. I made this longline corset in a bouquet pattern broche. I used a bigger waist reduction for a more dramatic shape. I love researching and looking to historical corsetry. I am trying to dedicate a day a week to personal projects like this.

#waybackwednesday #vintagewednesday C1870s Black silk satin corset from the private collection of Stephanie Selmayr shown at the @conferenceofcorsetry back in August. . The corset is stiffened with corded panels used vertically in the front sections over the bust and horizontally over the hips. . Cording was a popular method often used in addition and as an alternative to whalebone. Cording was the application of sandwiching twisted cord (usually hemp, cotton or paper) between two layers of fabric. . As in the case of this example cording was also viewed as a design detail. The corded panels provided suppleness to the gament whilst still controlling the wearer's figure. . >> follow @laced_unlaced for more historical corsetry posts #corsetry #corsethistory #historicalcorset #antiquecorset #costume #antiqueclothing #victorianfashion #victoriancorset #flossing #authenticcorset #fashionhistorian #lacedunlaced #victorianstyle https://www.instagram.com/p/B5FEX5RgKin/?igshid=10ua1hpcnbxik

#mondaymotivation Time has flown by and several weeks have past since I atteneded the @conferenceofcorsetry in Oxford. One of my favourite parts was the chance to examine some of the many historical corsets from the private collection of Stephanie Selmayr. I have been reminded that I really ought to find more time in the week to explore more of the historical side of corset making where my passion originally began. Here are just a couple of my favourites: • C1890s Symington corset of beige cotton mesh with tan cotton casings. The mesh would have allowed air to pass through the garment to the skin suggesting this corset was intended for summerwear. The garment is lightweight but its structure would have offered support and shape to the body. •C1900s 'The Camiset corset' white horizantal seamed corset with broderie anglaise and corded panelling. Such an interesting gament in the style of a ribbon corset with the vertical panels at the side containing parrellel boning in channels. . . #antiqueclothing #ribboncorset #historycorset #historicalcorset #antiquecostume #antiquecorset #cording #broderieanglaise #corsethistory #vintagecorset #meshcorset #vintageclothing #victorianfashion #ococ19 https://www.instagram.com/p/B3l0vUag78X/?igshid=17jzqgf9nq1ax

One of my ongoing research projects involves making a reproduction of this diagonal seam corset patent C1884 by C.W.HIGBY for @foundationsrevealed. I absolutely love looking into and studying historical corsetry and often after Ive stopped sewing for the day do I carry on researching and writing. I have a huge long list of patents and historical corsets I would love to reproduce (when I can find the time) and a growing collection of vinatage corsets I would love to take patterns from. You can follow my blog @laced_unlaced if you are interested in corset history! #corsetpatent #fashionhistory #eatsleepbreathecorsets #corsethistory #historicalcorset #historicalsewing #corsetobsessed #victorianfashion #victorianstyle #patentchallenge #historicalcostuming #waybackwednesday https://www.instagram.com/p/B95PwFcAltm/?igshid=11fvl9qtz2chp

The first pattern I have produced from a vintage corset from my personal collection @laced_unlaced C1941/1942 UTILITY CORSET laced back corset with underbelt- marked with the CC41 label. Available for digital download or physical copy. Includes ☆Pattern pieces ☆Garment information pack- includes detailed photos of the original garment (12 pages) ☆Construction notes (step by step guide on making up the garment) The UTILITY scheme was introduced in 1941 in response to the shortage of raw materials and labour for the War effort. Regulations were put in place restricting the amount of cloth, type of decoration and time taken to manufacture. #lacedunlaced #corsethistory #vintagepattern #vintagesewing #vintagelingerie #corsetmaking #corsetry #vintagecorset #corsetmaker #fashionhistory https://www.instagram.com/p/BvUIocpArG5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=phw36yxa0fp2
