The silhouette of this table mannequin is typical for the years around 1885 to 1895. The original torso was covered in black weave muslin and presented on a round wood stand.
The concept of the wasp waist was to wear a corset so extreme that it deformed the wearers waist. As a costumier (in a previous life), and having had the pleasure of making historical corsets, I am fascinated by this social history. Clothes were cut on a stand and so the mannequin had to reflect the shape of the wearer when she was wearing the corset. This is by no means the most extreme example of a wasp waist mannequin.
