Bacon

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Depiction of bacon (around 1600)

The term women bacon , also Vertugadin , the German Dictionary (DWB) only bacon , dates from the late 16th to early 17th century and refers to a ring-like bead, the women under the skirt tied around the hips.

The woman's bacon was caused by the Spanish clothing fashion , which was style-forming in the late Renaissance and the Spanish Baroque , the period between 1500 and the Thirty Years War . The human figure was wrapped in geometric - including cone-shaped -, padded, tight clothing, the female forms were veiled or shaped by corsets.

The woman's bacon was a flexible, light tube that was placed under the upper skirt in order to achieve a cylindrical skirt silhouette. In France it was also called vertugadin en bourrelets ( German  Tugendwächterwulst ), because the consequences of pregnancy , including those resulting from missteps , could be concealed for a long time under the part, which is partly stuffed with tow . Paul Schubring gives Vertugadin as a German synonym. The female bacon was more of a bourgeois phenomenon, the (German) nobility stayed longer with hooped skirts . Even among the less well-off, women fat replaced the expensive crinoline. The DWB, however, sees it as its forerunner.

The term belongs to a series of less systematically developed textile terms that linguistically connect the subject areas of body, food and dress. Further examples are ham or club sleeves or the slang article muffin top (such as hip gold or fat collar, like a pastry rim protruding over a muffin pan). Experimenting with the spatial potential of clothing in women’s bacon is one of the essential (historical) fashion processes; Only in modern times did clothing become increasingly flat (close fitting).
