Hero image for “Collection Of Jacquard Weave Corsetry Fabric Samples”
Date: c. 1930-50s
Origin: Great Britain
Fabric: Cotton & Rayon Blends
Brand: Unknown

A factory sample collection of tightly woven fabrics intended for corsetry and foundationwear. They are all likely a blend of cotton and rayon fibres, and the shades are all a variance on the light pink that was considered the most suitable and popular shade for underpinnings. Motifs vary from floral to geometric. The original sample labels are still attached to each sample, and include the style number written lightly in pencil.

 

From the collection of Karolina Laskowska
