 Section 5: This section contains two annotated photos showing details of how the waist stay (also known as "Petersham") is applied to the inside of the gown. Since this gown, unusually for a 1910's design, has no boned foundation, the Petersham is an important addition. It supports the weight of the skirt as well as ensuring that the gown stays properly positioned when worn. Click on "Play" (top left of 1st photo) to run slideshow; pause at any time.
