It’s simply a tool for better shape and posture which almost anyone can benefit from if they use it properly instead of trying to squeeze the air from their lungs to look like the corpse bride.

In the Victorian era it could have even been basically consumption chic. Plus some women just develop very late. I didn't finish puberty or stop growing until I was 20 and had no trouble staying very thin until that point. I had the teenage deer look where I was all limbs and looked a bit overly stretched no matter how much I ate. After 20 I was never that small again, only required a normal amount of food for my size, and developed a rather normal figure for a woman. I went up 4 dress sizes but I started at a 20 inch waist and ended at 28 inches, now 32 inches after kids. Pretty normal development and a lot of those tiny clothes are probably from girls like me who debuted and married well before they were done growing.

Corsets were never worn directly on the skin. They had an underlayer of more durable material that would be worn directly on the skin and washed more regularly, then the corset and over it the outer layer both of which were washed not regularly. What she is wearing in this video is essentially the modern equivalent of a woman recording in herself normally wearing underwear and a bra. Its the proper way to wear undergarments.
@@randomwhatever5403yes but nowadays it's a trend to not only wear a chemise under it but, well, use it fully as an outer garment. So the comparison is not too wrong
also depends on the time period. in the early victorian era corsets tended to have a multi purpose in a socalite's wardrobe. they often were adorned and made to be essentially a top piece for their dresses with matching fabrics and patterns as well as styles considering how fast fashion changed relative to the times

@@GoddessOfLoveEnergy333Correctly made corset is not supposed to put you in discomfort. Back in the day they were made to measurements and they were not uncomfortable. Even though movies like to say otherwise
I’m just glad most of the comments are addressing the fact that historical corsets were in fact pretty flexible and comfortable and provided much better support for the chest and back
Actually those kinda things "supporting your back" weakem your muscles because people temd to lean into it. I had a plastic corset because of my scoliosis and had to do muscle training in order for that not happening. Also corsets weren't comfortable. They were a better option for all the fabric people had to wear. Without the fabric an actually good bra is way better.
@@kurokami1000 I’m pretty sure that they were specifically made for each person and specifically made to fit each person so there would be no discomfort though? And they might not have been the best thing ever but they should only be uncomfortable if the corset wasn’t made specifically for you or if you tied it way too tight, or maybe it would have bad fabric, doubt that though because if you purchased something specifically for you, they would probably make sure it would be high quality and comfortable to wear for long periods of time, also, not sure if they had bras back then… (and a plastic corset would be way different from a corset from back then - they wouldn’t of had plastic I doubt - )
Well, not their sole purpose. They were intended for support, yes, and they were meant to be comfortable, but they were also meant to gently cinch the waist and redistribute flesh towards the hips and bodice
You keep on doing you, we LOVE it! I have one foot in serious historical reenaction and the larp/fairy/fantasy party crowd. I have heard, and appreciate, that struggle. You come up with the most beautiful outfits!!! I would NEVER want to limit your imagination.
They'd probably be fussing that we wear them OUTSIDE our clothes as a statement piece with 0 real support. She wouldn't be disgusted that we still wear them. She actually wouldn't even call it a corset.
Ayo FACTS! 🎉 Shew finally some sense spilled in the comment section. How DARE people think they can get away with this slander?! Let’s pinpoint every issue this video had so we can suck out any mention of enjoyment ‘round these parts!
Historically corsets and stays and pairs of bodies could be worn as either under wear or outer wear. Always with a layer under though to protect the skin from friction and to protect the corset from grtting dirty with sweat
I’m so G-ddamn tired of this falsehood. WOMEN. DID. NOT. TIGHT. LACE. THEIR. CORSETS. ALL. THE. TIME. some never did. A corset is no less damaging to a body than a bra is and the reason you think otherwise is because of MEN It’s 2023 can we please lose this stupid tired ahistorical and misogynistic lie 😊
Historically people didn’t actually hate corsets like most people think today. It’s just a lie mostly spread by Hollywood. Two known facts: Corsets were some of the first bras Men wore corsets too
@@Lizard897 Чрезмерно тугую утяжку практиковали лишь чокнутые, помешанные на своей внешности единицы. Большинство же женщин, даже в высшем обществе, носило корсеты с комфортной шнуровкой по фигуре, с минимальной утяжкой(а в таком виде корсеты не мешают ни дышать, ни активно двигаться, ни плотно поесть). Чрезмерно сильная утяжка была не только не принята, но и порицалась обществом. Говорить "в 19 веке все утягивались так, что падали в обморок" - то же самое, что сказать "в 21 веке все болели анорексией и худели до 35 кг".
they wouldn't have reacted that way. they were like what bras to us are now. sure you can think of them as restrictive. but like. you could easily and comfortably work in em
@@UnhealthyMorganWallenObsession that’s the thing those books were mostly written by men! It’s really interesting that they (Victorian men ) made lies about the usage of corsets and we still believe them today !
Fun fact: corsets were created to help straighten peoples backs. And yes, some people used them to make themselves be "skinnier" which could harm them.
Actresses that have worn corsets for their period roles aren’t always fitted correctly, which will hurt like hell, and they’ll say/think that it’s how corsets actually felt/were like during that era. The dresses they wear at special events (like award shows) usually have corsets, and those are tailored to their body. Corsets were never forced to be worn and they wouldn’t be uncomfortable.
In addition to all of this- you know how in movies most of the time when you see an actress in a chemise? Yeah she to stay like that for 12-14 hours, sometimes in hot locations. Could be the best corset they'll still be uncomfortable in the conditions they film in
@@MistressBella1533Yes! Movie sets are often extremely hot due to the mind blowing amount of lighting they require, and actresses are filming scenes over and over again for half a day or even more, so it’s no wonder that this gets tiring really fast under normal circumstances and even more so when wearing a boned garment you aren’t used to wearing. Not to mention the incredible amount of padding and layering an appropriate period outfit usually requires, making it even heavier and thus harder for the actresses to move.
Yeah and then you have self proclaimed "feminist icons" like Emma Watson trashing corsets as patriarchy torture tools but often wears custom corsets for her photo shoots. The lying passes me off because it's all pandering for clout and money.
When you first get one, it can be annoying and painful- depending on your body type and the style. But it's just like a shoe, you have to break them in. They weren't fashion.
I literally wanna marry this comment section I was boutta come here and comment how historical corsets were like the equivalent of bras and were necessary to evenly distribute the weight of hoop skirts women wore but y’all already said that I love every single person here
Corsets and stays weren't uncomfortable if they fit the wearer. They were also essential in creating silhouettes and bearing the weight of all the fabric.
People do realise that historically corsets were custom made and moulded to the person's body with wear. They ended up being really comfortable. Working women wore them whilst working physical jobs. There were maybe some upper class women who wanted to be fashionable or trendy who would maybe tight lace, but it was like a very small minority
@@countrycoffeecup7772 Oh yeah, men wore girdles/corsets, especially men of higher rank to maintain a certain shape/help clothing hang in the fashionable manner
Yes and the richer women also had padding on their hips, butts, and breasts too. That truly helped to sell the illusion of a skinny waist and a curvy body. A corset was most often worn to comfort.
@@user-ce1fv2lv2b you are wrong, modern day people always say that corsets were bad and were meant to oppress women but that isn’t true corsets were worn to act as a bra but not only that corsets also helped hold up their heavy skirts of the time (which weren’t oppressing anyone that was the popular fashion trend of the time, just as wearing undergarments as clothing is a trend of today)corsets also gave support to the back, distributing weight evenly when lifting heavy things, which is why corsets were also made for men to help them reduce ✨back pain✨. There were also corsets designed for pregnant mothers to help support their bellies and distributing that weight more evenly to help with ✨back pain✨.now there also are probably other benefits from corsets I do not know of yet, but now let me explain your concerns, when wearing anything for a long time of course that would in some ways affect your body, corsets only really affected the way women breathed, the corsets covered their stomachs so they breathed smaller breaths that were more frequent and with their chests not their stomachs, not really hindering them as they were used to it so it was easy for them to breathe in that way. The fainting of fair maidens we hear about happening so often in the past was more likely do to overheating in their thick dresses without air conditioning in their homes. And as for the few women that were disfigured by corsets they were probably tying them way to tightly because they were insecure about their body and wanted to be skinnier or had mothers that wanted them to be skinnier the same way girls these days are insecure about their weight and that harm their bodies by starving themselves. Corsets were not and are NOT oppressive!
But literally back then corsets weren’t dangerous or not every women hated them. No one really passed out from them to tight. Women did however pass out from the fumes of their dresses and hats. That’s actually were the term mad hatter came from because people who made hats, the fumes they inhaled could make them go crazy.

@@BoJack1 only the super elite could even afford to risk it with extreme tightness. That’s like is 200 years from now people assuming that all women lived the same as Melinda gates or Jeff bezos’ wife. Most women weren’t wearing their corsets nearly that tight and they were pretty comfortable.
The corsets weren't uncomfortable, they were made to fit someone's body type and there was clothing placed under the corsets before men and women wore them. The reason most women today complain about corsets being uncomfortable is because, one the corset is cheap, two the corset doesn't fit their body type, three they didn't put the clothing under the corsets.
And keep in mind, clothes were literally sewn for you back then. Either you sewed them yourself, to fit your body, or you had a seamstress do it for you. They didn't have off-the-rack clothes like we do, because they didn't have mass production. That's why everyone had fewer clothes back then - they were really expensive and/or time consuming. Everyone's clothes fit worse nowadays than they would have in this time period.
I mean I think they were a little uncomfortable because they deformed the body and a lot of the organs such as the intestines and diaphragm were shifted below the waist
No kidding! I've only worn one once (since it was my sister's corset), but it was so warm and comfy. Sitting right with my own weighted blanket for my RLS and it feels the same type of comfy :)
Absolutely! ITS kinda a cross of wearing Armor and getting hugged, I absolutely Love it IT works AS stimming for me and ITS so much more comfy Thema damned bra, got No Straps that Always get in the way . . . Corsets Rock If you get one that actually fits you halfway decently
Yeah except some people and women from back then didn’t use them right, and I’ve seen pictures. Their posture was so messed up. Anyways, women were forced into different things as well, like tight dresses so you couldn’t run or walk fast, etc..
Ppl worked in corsets they weren't as horrible as movies nowadays portray them. Sure if you tie them too tight it's unhealthy but only the super rich could allow themselves to do that for special events lol
@@bro1818qwe if you had ever actually tried on a well fitted corset you wouldn't be saying that. They were like bras back then. I wear a corset sometimes because it helps me with back pain and bad posture (not a medical one tho) and it's actually comfortable and helps my back muscles relax.
@@bro1818qwe they were good for posture aka prevent back problems (yk how most had to work ok the feild the entire day, so having smth keep your back straight helped prevent back problems) Also, like the commenter said, common people did not tie their corsets extremely tight, in fact, most were very flexible. Only the rich did that, cause again, the rest had to work and not being able to breath wouldn't allow that. On top of that, bras didn't exist back then, instead corsets functioned as bras. This is obviously very helpful if you have big boobs or simply saggy ones (because of age, having children, etc) and again, having a construction aka corsets holding them up helped, again, to.prevent back problems. Corsets are great for your health, as long as you don't tie then too tight
See it this way - they were the best we could do with the technology available and they were better than no bust support for most ladies. But that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t be HORRIFIED we hadn’t found a better way by now. Which fair I kinda am too, especially with all the new materials bras are surprisingly limited in their capacity and sure some are innovative but often only work in certain situations it’s disappointing
@@carina-nonbinary okay here’s my problem with that “well fitting” theory. People “back in the day” had to make do with fewer and more expensive materials - given how much people gain and lose weight and how much more dramatic that would be in a society without freezers or grocery stores what are the odds that the everyday woman would always have a well-fitting corset? I’d say pretty freaking low if it had no give to it (ie fully or mostly boned) I think the regency styles that were corded and maybe partially boned as people moved from stays to corsets were probably the most versatile but elastic overtook corsets for a reason and my guess is that reason is weight fluctuations
I say this as a historical dress enthusiast and amateur historical corset maker in my free time: if the corset/ the stays/ the boned bodice or whatever else is made correctly to your measurements using a historical pattern or a pattern based on a historical garment, it should not hurt, be restrictive, impede your breathing or mobility. If women and men wore corsets and other boned garments in the past it was for support, comfort, posture and to give the silhouette fashionable for the era which was not always a teeny tiny waist!! Especially 18th century (and prior) stays were very very VERY rarely tightlaced to an extreme because why in the world would most people do that?? ThE mAlE gAzE? No. Women at the time were not all how they were described in contemporary books and writings because that was the ideal for men, not the norm. Most women who wore stays and corsets had other things to worry about than looking pretty for guys like for instance feeding themselves and their families, and...oh ,not dying! And as already mentioned, in some eras and some places it was not uncommon for men to wear corsets. If you made it this far into this comment of me ranting about a topic nobody gives two shits about, why? And are you ok?
@@BoJack1 yes and that makes them flexible and comfortable. Whalebone doesn't make the corsets restrictive, it provides resistance and gives good posture Edit: whale hunting is now an illegal practice so modern corset makers either use synthetic whalebone made of flexible plastic or steel boning which is equally comfortable
They would think we were absolutely freaking INSANE to even put one of those things on. They would LOSE it that corsets are now simply a fashion extra and not a requirement.
Actually…corsets weren’t usually uncomfortable or terribly viewed. Modern TV and movies portrays them as traps that smushed ribs and lungs to smaller proportions, but this happened very rarely. Corsets we’re actually used for posture, but adapted to be used for a smaller waist. And even when used for a smaller waist, they barely ever harmed or hurt the woman wearing it, just like modern, normal corsets!
I so much prefer my corset over my bra. I don’t have to keep adjusting shoulder straps, it doesn’t pull up my back. I can wear it as tight or is loose as I’d like. And it really does make my chest look so much better. Plus, it pulls in my stomach and my sides so I have a much nicer waist line.
I can't imagine you couldn't make one made with a combination of a sturdy netting material as a base for the sides and back, and a breathable linen for the front, all covered by a layer of thin cotton. There are plenty of patterns you can use. You just need to find the type that fits your body shape... and what kind of boning. Plastic? Spiral steel? reed? a combination? Goddess knows there are plenty of corset making tutorial videos out there.
Noticed though when it was recommended again, that people seem to now understand that corsets were not tight laces monstrosities, but now people don't understand that corsets were layered and think shes wearing it as an outer garment. It never stops. 😅
Lol. I think there reaction wpuld probably be more like ours when a friend says they've a really good, comfortable bra. They'd probably be MORE scandalized if we said we didn't wear one 😅
I just got a corset at a Comic-Con and it feels so good. It relieves so much pressure off of my back and my chest. Way more support than any bra could reproduce.
"Rib crushing" and other corset horrors are just ridiculous myths spread on the Internet by people who do not really understand the corset topic. No need to retell this nonsense after the dabblers. Extremely tight-lacing was never common, just a little percentage of crazy fashionistas practised it. And the high-quality corsets, tailored to the figure of the wearer, were always comfortable and didn't interfere with breathing, eating, or active moving. And of course, the right corset doesn't cause any pain or health problems.
I was told that it was actually quite uncommon for someone to force a woman to wear a corset too small since it was considered cruel, it did definitely happen and people forced themselves to wear them for fashion too but just like these days where some people will cause themselves bodily harm for fashion, it’s not the norm and wasn’t back then either. Could be wrong tho, my ex who was studying fashion told me that so it’s not first hand
That is in part a myth. Corsets did have to be worn by working class women so the only ones who would possibly tight lace or "faint" from them are high class women.
they’d be weirded out that we were wearing a bra OUTSIDE of our outfit 😭

And depending on what they are wearing it helps support their back and chest with heavy fabrics
They were also used as a bra
“why are you wearing a bra on the outside of your shirt??” 😂
Corsets were never worn directly on the skin. They had an underlayer of more durable material that would be worn directly on the skin and washed more regularly, then the corset and over it the outer layer both of which were washed not regularly. What she is wearing in this video is essentially the modern equivalent of a woman recording in herself normally wearing underwear and a bra. Its the proper way to wear undergarments.
@@randomwhatever5403yes but nowadays it's a trend to not only wear a chemise under it but, well, use it fully as an outer garment. So the comparison is not too wrong
also depends on the time period. in the early victorian era corsets tended to have a multi purpose in a socalite's wardrobe. they often were adorned and made to be essentially a top piece for their dresses with matching fabrics and patterns as well as styles considering how fast fashion changed relative to the times

WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT HOW BEAUTIFUL HER HAIR IS
I’m just glad most of the comments are addressing the fact that historical corsets were in fact pretty flexible and comfortable and provided much better support for the chest and back
Actually those kinda things "supporting your back" weakem your muscles because people temd to lean into it. I had a plastic corset because of my scoliosis and had to do muscle training in order for that not happening. Also corsets weren't comfortable. They were a better option for all the fabric people had to wear. Without the fabric an actually good bra is way better.
@@kurokami1000 I’m pretty sure that they were specifically made for each person and specifically made to fit each person so there would be no discomfort though? And they might not have been the best thing ever but they should only be uncomfortable if the corset wasn’t made specifically for you or if you tied it way too tight, or maybe it would have bad fabric, doubt that though because if you purchased something specifically for you, they would probably make sure it would be high quality and comfortable to wear for long periods of time, also, not sure if they had bras back then… (and a plastic corset would be way different from a corset from back then - they wouldn’t of had plastic I doubt - )
We did our homework thanks to the corset ladies here on CZcams 😅😂 😭 I love them so much ❤

Sole. And it also assisted with posture
Well, not their sole purpose. They were intended for support, yes, and they were meant to be comfortable, but they were also meant to gently cinch the waist and redistribute flesh towards the hips and bodice
Don't corsets squish your organs or something? Im just curious im not trying to be rude heh😅

They'd probably be fussing that we wear them OUTSIDE our clothes as a statement piece with 0 real support. She wouldn't be disgusted that we still wear them. She actually wouldn't even call it a corset.
I doubt they'd be bothered at all by them being on the outside - but would be far more bothered by the many folks who wear them next to bare skin!
Ayo FACTS! 🎉 Shew finally some sense spilled in the comment section. How DARE people think they can get away with this slander?! Let’s pinpoint every issue this video had so we can suck out any mention of enjoyment ‘round these parts!
Historically corsets and stays and pairs of bodies could be worn as either under wear or outer wear. Always with a layer under though to protect the skin from friction and to protect the corset from grtting dirty with sweat
I’m so G-ddamn tired of this falsehood. WOMEN. DID. NOT. TIGHT. LACE. THEIR. CORSETS. ALL. THE. TIME. some never did. A corset is no less damaging to a body than a bra is and the reason you think otherwise is because of MEN

@@zimsearchmister1712I’m confused as to if you are being sarcastic or not?
Historically people didn’t actually hate corsets like most people think today. It’s just a lie mostly spread by Hollywood. Two known facts:
Corsets were some of the first bras
Men wore corsets too
An extra fact is that corsets were the scaffolding clothes were draped over and spread out the weight of multiple layers of skirts and peticoats over.

Fun fact: corsets were created to help straighten peoples backs.
And yes, some people used them to make themselves be "skinnier" which could harm them.
You are so pretty! And your hair is flawless
Actresses that have worn corsets for their period roles aren’t always fitted correctly, which will hurt like hell, and they’ll say/think that it’s how corsets actually felt/were like during that era. The dresses they wear at special events (like award shows) usually have corsets, and those are tailored to their body.
Corsets were never forced to be worn and they wouldn’t be uncomfortable.
Also they were made for women with some fat, not supermodel skinny models.
@@anni3805 and when a woman didn't have much fat, her figure would be padded out to get the fashionable silhouette, not cinched to oblivion.
In addition to all of this- you know how in movies most of the time when you see an actress in a chemise? Yeah she to stay like that for 12-14 hours, sometimes in hot locations. Could be the best corset they'll still be uncomfortable in the conditions they film in
@@MistressBella1533Yes! Movie sets are often extremely hot due to the mind blowing amount of lighting they require, and actresses are filming scenes over and over again for half a day or even more, so it’s no wonder that this gets tiring really fast under normal circumstances and even more so when wearing a boned garment you aren’t used to wearing. Not to mention the incredible amount of padding and layering an appropriate period outfit usually requires, making it even heavier and thus harder for the actresses to move.
Yeah and then you have self proclaimed "feminist icons" like Emma Watson trashing corsets as patriarchy torture tools but often wears custom corsets for her photo shoots. The lying passes me off because it's all pandering for clout and money.
they liked it fine then too, corsets being painful is a myth (only happens with tight-lacing and/or poor fit) 🌷

GURLLL YOUR SO PRETTY YOU LOOK LIKE RAPUNZEL
People do realise that historically corsets were custom made and moulded to the person's body with wear. They ended up being really comfortable. Working women wore them whilst working physical jobs. There were maybe some upper class women who wanted to be fashionable or trendy who would maybe tight lace, but it was like a very small minority
I read somewhere that they weren't even just for women, but men wore them too!
@@countrycoffeecup7772 Oh yeah, men wore girdles/corsets, especially men of higher rank to maintain a certain shape/help clothing hang in the fashionable manner
Yes and the richer women also had padding on their hips, butts, and breasts too. That truly helped to sell the illusion of a skinny waist and a curvy body. A corset was most often worn to comfort.
absolutely not , corset were really uncomfortable. they damaged their body and change the way they originally were
@@user-ce1fv2lv2b you are wrong, modern day people always say that corsets were bad and were meant to oppress women but that isn’t true corsets were worn to act as a bra but not only that corsets also helped hold up their heavy skirts of the time (which weren’t oppressing anyone that was the popular fashion trend of the time, just as wearing undergarments as clothing is a trend of today)corsets also gave support to the back, distributing weight evenly when lifting heavy things, which is why corsets were also made for men to help them reduce ✨back pain✨. There were also corsets designed for pregnant mothers to help support their bellies and distributing that weight more evenly to help with ✨back pain✨.now there also are probably other benefits from corsets I do not know of yet, but now let me explain your concerns, when wearing anything for a long time of course that would in some ways affect your body, corsets only really affected the way women breathed, the corsets covered their stomachs so they breathed smaller breaths that were more frequent and with their chests not their stomachs, not really hindering them as they were used to it so it was easy for them to breathe in that way. The fainting of fair maidens we hear about happening so often in the past was more likely do to overheating in their thick dresses without air conditioning in their homes. And as for the few women that were disfigured by corsets they were probably tying them way to tightly because they were insecure about their body and wanted to be skinnier or had mothers that wanted them to be skinnier the same way girls these days are insecure about their weight and that harm their bodies by starving themselves. Corsets were not and are NOT oppressive!
But literally back then corsets weren’t dangerous or not every women hated them. No one really passed out from them to tight. Women did however pass out from the fumes of their dresses and hats. That’s actually were the term mad hatter came from because people who made hats, the fumes they inhaled could make them go crazy.

@@BoJack1 only the super elite could even afford to risk it with extreme tightness. That’s like is 200 years from now people assuming that all women lived the same as Melinda gates or Jeff bezos’ wife. Most women weren’t wearing their corsets nearly that tight and they were pretty comfortable.
Its mainly the ones that went too far and even forced their kids to be skinny legends
It was actually spread by men that corsets were uncomfortable.
Read the caption
BUT WHY DOES SHE LOOK LIKE RAPUNZEL 😱😍
You are a redhead Rapunzel, such long, dense beautiful hair!!
The corsets weren't uncomfortable, they were made to fit someone's body type and there was clothing placed under the corsets before men and women wore them. The reason most women today complain about corsets being uncomfortable is because, one the corset is cheap, two the corset doesn't fit their body type, three they didn't put the clothing under the corsets.
And keep in mind, clothes were literally sewn for you back then. Either you sewed them yourself, to fit your body, or you had a seamstress do it for you. They didn't have off-the-rack clothes like we do, because they didn't have mass production. That's why everyone had fewer clothes back then - they were really expensive and/or time consuming.
Everyone's clothes fit worse nowadays than they would have in this time period.
I mean I think they were a little uncomfortable because they deformed the body and a lot of the organs such as the intestines and diaphragm were shifted below the waist
@@RyanForReal That's a myth
I like wearing corsets for the same reason I like weighted blankets, something about the pressure is soothing to me
No kidding! I've only worn one once (since it was my sister's corset), but it was so warm and comfy. Sitting right with my own weighted blanket for my RLS and it feels the same type of comfy :)

A Corset, if you don't over tighten, is just a hug 24/7 till you take it off
I like the way you think
It really is. The "nice hug" is the way to go. Corsets really help with my posture as well not to mention how incredible my waist is with them on!
Yeah except some people and women from back then didn’t use them right, and I’ve seen pictures. Their posture was so messed up. Anyways, women were forced into different things as well, like tight dresses so you couldn’t run or walk fast, etc..
Ppl worked in corsets they weren't as horrible as movies nowadays portray them. Sure if you tie them too tight it's unhealthy but only the super rich could allow themselves to do that for special events lol
They were horrible especially since majority of them were forced to wear them. Just because you worked in them doesn't mean they weren't horrible
@@bro1818qwe if you had ever actually tried on a well fitted corset you wouldn't be saying that. They were like bras back then. I wear a corset sometimes because it helps me with back pain and bad posture (not a medical one tho) and it's actually comfortable and helps my back muscles relax.
@@bro1818qwe they were good for posture aka prevent back problems (yk how most had to work ok the feild the entire day, so having smth keep your back straight helped prevent back problems)
Also, like the commenter said, common people did not tie their corsets extremely tight, in fact, most were very flexible. Only the rich did that, cause again, the rest had to work and not being able to breath wouldn't allow that.
On top of that, bras didn't exist back then, instead corsets functioned as bras. This is obviously very helpful if you have big boobs or simply saggy ones (because of age, having children, etc) and again, having a construction aka corsets holding them up helped, again, to.prevent back problems.
Corsets are great for your health, as long as you don't tie then too tight
See it this way - they were the best we could do with the technology available and they were better than no bust support for most ladies. But that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t be HORRIFIED we hadn’t found a better way by now. Which fair I kinda am too, especially with all the new materials bras are surprisingly limited in their capacity and sure some are innovative but often only work in certain situations it’s disappointing
@@carina-nonbinary okay here’s my problem with that “well fitting” theory. People “back in the day” had to make do with fewer and more expensive materials - given how much people gain and lose weight and how much more dramatic that would be in a society without freezers or grocery stores what are the odds that the everyday woman would always have a well-fitting corset? I’d say pretty freaking low if it had no give to it (ie fully or mostly boned) I think the regency styles that were corded and maybe partially boned as people moved from stays to corsets were probably the most versatile but elastic overtook corsets for a reason and my guess is that reason is weight fluctuations
They liked school, we like corsets 🤷🏾♀️
her face was personal lol
I say this as a historical dress enthusiast and amateur historical corset maker in my free time: if the corset/ the stays/ the boned bodice or whatever else is made correctly to your measurements using a historical pattern or a pattern based on a historical garment, it should not hurt, be restrictive, impede your breathing or mobility. If women and men wore corsets and other boned garments in the past it was for support, comfort, posture and to give the silhouette fashionable for the era which was not always a teeny tiny waist!! Especially 18th century (and prior) stays were very very VERY rarely tightlaced to an extreme because why in the world would most people do that?? ThE mAlE gAzE? No. Women at the time were not all how they were described in contemporary books and writings because that was the ideal for men, not the norm. Most women who wore stays and corsets had other things to worry about than looking pretty for guys like for instance feeding themselves and their families, and...oh ,not dying! And as already mentioned, in some eras and some places it was not uncommon for men to wear corsets.

I suspect that except for the heat/humidity in Indiana, I would be far more comfortable in a well fitting corset than in a bra.

"Rib crushing" and other corset horrors are just ridiculous myths spread on the Internet by people who do not really understand the corset topic. No need to retell this nonsense after the dabblers.
Extremely tight-lacing was never common, just a little percentage of crazy fashionistas practised it.
And the high-quality corsets, tailored to the figure of the wearer, were always comfortable and didn't interfere with breathing, eating, or active moving. And of course, the right corset doesn't cause any pain or health problems.
