It was important to have a very thin waist while your hips and bust were voluptuous. The theory was that the less you could move the wealthier your husband was. This goes to prove why so many corsets were worn and petticoats layered. Women wore gloves so tight that they needed servants to pul them on. The gloves of the day were those that reached above the elbow. Some of the gloves were so tight that the wearer’s hands would fall asleep and they could not write or even ring a door bell. Utilitarian clothing, as worn by farm wives and servants, had loose shoulders and arms for the purpose of being more practical for scrub bing floors and rocking babies. Styles do change and they do make a social statement. Paula noted through her experience that it appears the style of looking very thin has traveled a 30 to 40-year time span, “It appears about every 30 to 40 years they go from pulling in and letting out.” Corsets and gir dles are not popular right now, but who is to say they never will be. It is very plain to see that Paula Francis thoroughly enjoys collect ing, restoring and selling vintage clothing to those who share the same love as herself. It is definitely a way to experience early Ameri can history. Ki For every stylish woman in 1912 a walk ing suit was a must have.
