While these illustrations are rather extreme, this demonstrates the way men used corsets and padding to 'improve' their appearances too. The male shape was very muscular therefore padding was used on the calf muscles, arms, bottom, thighs etc and the waist was pulled in to make the chest appear broader.
Hey, my name's Kim and I'm currently studying Art & Design at North Notts College, in my second year. I love art but textiles is my real passion; I've applied for Bespoke Tailoring at London College of Fashion and have an interview on 26th Feb which i'm really excited and nervous about! This blog is full of my college work so feel free to browse through... (:
