There were several types of women's foundation garments in the 1920s. The foundation garment served to retain the correct lines in a garment. Which foundation garment was worn depended largely on the specific lines of the garment and the material of which it was made.
The foundation garments were grouped into two general classes: waistline foundations and lining foundations.
Waistline foundations consisted of two types:
- Inside stay belts
- Fitted hip yokes
- Camisole or bodice lining
- Built-up or plain-waist lining
- Close-fitting lining
- Foundation slips
Looking forward to learning more!

So glad to know that you are enjoying this topic! With the high level of interest in my "Home Sewing Tips from the 1920s", I thought some posts on foundation undergarments worn under frocks, blouses, and skirts in the 1920s would be useful and interesting. :)
DeleteYes, these are awesome : ) I may have to add to my undergarment section!
