Any thoughts as to the context of this photo? I thought it might be an advertisement for a dress that was showcasing the backside.

Welcome.
FringePop is a showcase for uncommon and esoteric cultural artifacts. The focus is on unusual items from both popular and fringe culture, with an emphasis on subversive pieces. The items shown are from the author's personal collection, unless otherwise noted.
About Me
- Astrid
- Atlanta, GA, United States
- I am a pop culture buff and collector, who focuses on the odd, subversive, and fringe elements of Western culture. In 2005, I edited a book for Feral House called "Sin-A-Rama: Sleaze Sex Paperbacks of the Sixties." The vintage oddities in my collection include victoriana, sideshow, medical, and kitsch. I am also an amateur sewer, making clothing from vintage mod patterns.

That is awesome! I always try cabinet cards with the subjects facing away but never can. A lot of the ones I've seen online seem to show off fancy dresses and crazy coifs from the back so I always wondered if it was because the people were wealthy? But I really have no idea!
