The Baker Art Gallery of Columbus, Ohio, produced this portrait of a pretty and busty young woman. A corset likely assists her wasp waist and lovely figure. Apparently, she is well aware of her beauty and capitalizes on it with a “come hither” expression. Take note of her interesting hat; its truly a work of art.

This is a lovely example of the “pigeon breast” dress, a high fashion style of the early 20th century. It’s quite possible she’s not even all that busty and is instead just using a specific type of corset to create this look. I found one for sale on Etsy if you’d like to take a peek…
