60's and 70's Wrapping Paper Pattern Showcase

When I am researching for logo or web designs, especially for children's or "girly" type stores or brands, I often refer to the past for inspiration. Sometimes, shapes, colours or elements can be useful as a springboard for ideas. I hope you enjoy this collection, and I can't remember where I got all of these, so please forgive me if I am missing a credit and let me know so I can add the information.

Victorian Corsetry Inspiration

Le corset dans l'art et les moeurs du XIIIe au XXe siècle.

Illustration from the Ladies Home Journal, October 1900, contrasting the old Victorian corseted silhouette with the new Edwardian "S-bend" corseted silhouette.

Multi-Size - 28-50 Bust - 20-42 Waist

I know that the Victorian corsets did horrendous things to the female body, but the actual hour glass shape is quite beautiful, I guess a little like the craziness of the sky high heels we love now. Painful and dangerous beauty. I am physically happier in more comfortable garments, but I love the look of the corset in imagery and fashion, so thought I do a post for victorian corset references.
