Inès Gaches-Sarraute
(Redirected from Inez Gaches-Sarraute)
Inès Gaches-Sarraute (1853–1928) was a French physician and corsetière.[1] She was the inventor of the 'health corset', later called the 'S-bend' corset.[2]
Life
[edit]Concerned at the gynaeological effects of corsets on women, Gaches-Sarraute began pamphleteering on the subject in the 1890s. Her novel design of corset, introduced in her 1900 book, helped bring about a change in corset fashions in the early twentieth century.[1]
