FAIRFIELD — After a long career as an innovator in women’s undergarments, Dr. Ira DeVer Warner, Sr. wanted a place to kick back. Warner was best-known as the co-founder of Warner Bros. — not the movie production studio, but the women’s corset and lingerie company he and his brother Lucien Calvin Warner launched in the late 19th century in New York. The brothers, who had a background in medicine and medical product sales, started the company to provide an alternative to hoopskirts, petticoats and other restrictive women’s underpinnings that were the standard of the day. Their initial product, Dr. Warner’s Health Corset, was a success.
