It's a Cinch!-The VFG Fashion Parade for the week of March 14th

[carla rey]

It's a Cinch!
Women have relied on undergarments to modify their shape for centuries. Influenced by the changing fashions and beauty standards of each new era, foundation garments have made it possible to elongate, flatten, lift, pad, point, round, and cinch the feminine form in order to create the perfect prescribed silhouette and emphasize the body part du jour. From bustles to bullet bras, girdles to garters, and corsets to crinolines, this week VFG members reveal their finest figure-enhancing vintage garments.
