3.2 Mieder - Corset
Unlike the “Brüstlein” and the “Leiblein” (outer bodices) in the
inventories, the linen underclothing known as a Mieder (corset)
was worn both above and beneath the shirt/chemise (Hemd). In
1550 Margarethe Clatz left “1 old white corset (mutter) over a
shirt/chemise”. (196) The Patrician Margarethe Rieter possessed
an unusually large number of eight corsets (Miedern) “new and
old, over and under the shirt/chemise (Hemet).” (197) At least
according to the material the corsets demonstrable in the Nurnberg
sources differed from the aforementioned bodices in the probates
of the princely and noble. Maria Jacobaa Fugger left behind in
1588 2 corsets (untermieder) made of Macheier (wool, possibly
mohair) and Sendal (Zendeldort). (198) 22 year old Pflazgrafin
(countess) Sabina von Neuburg, desceased in 1598 wore under her
burial clothes and underdress (unterrock) a now preserved light
brown corset of moiré silk. (Illustration 81) (199) Whether the
extant corset of the Pfalzgrafin in the Bavarian National Museum
in Munich, and the pieces mentioned in the Nurnberg inventories
are parallel can not be determined based on the available
sources. But the notable number of 8 corsets in the clothing
index of Margarethe Rieter alone probably reference a fashionable
leadership role of the city dwelling upper class, here in regard
to the close proper fit of the upper body clothing in the style of
Spanish fashion.
