Sans Ventre Line
In Western fashion from around 1900 to 1906/1907, the Sans-Ventre-Line describes a body shape achieved by a tight, stiff corset ( Sans-Ventre-Corset ), which made the belly disappear ( sans ventre , French for “without a belly “), Pushed the hips backwards and, seen from the side, gave the body an S-shape (hence also S-corset or S-line corset ) and a posture that was always slightly bent forward. The S-corset was originally intended as a health corset that was designed to take the pressure off the abdomen.
In addition, you wore blouse tops with close-fitting sleeves or a bolero jacket , the skirt was often bell-shaped, whereby the buttocks were emphasized by bulging, gathering or padding in connection with the construction of the corset, creating the impression of a small tour .
