Posture: Debutante Slouch
The C-shaped slouch was taken up with enthusiasm by the unfettered, dance-mad, Jazz Age flapper who slunk around with “shoulders hunched, her chest caved in, and her spine bent over in a curve.” “Corset buyers and fitters still remember, with a feeling somewhat akin to horror,” reported a contemporary industry paper, “the vogue of the ‘debutante slouch’ and the ‘panther glide,’ which came into fashion along with the tango and maxixe.”http://www.vogue.com/13424267/history-fashion-posture-balenciaga-models/
