Corsets became the foundations of fashion more than 500 years ago, and they're with us still. This collection of three dolls and 29 historically accurate costumes demonstrates the influence of lingerie on modern couture. Side-by-side comparisons range from a 16th-century "bodie" to 1950s "waspies" and even underwear as outerwear in the 21st century. Also includes a gentleman "dandy" doll.
