It's true that SOME women went in for tight-lacing and squeezed themselves nearly to death, but for the vast majority of women for hundreds of years, corsets were merely underwear, support garments as are our modern bras. A well-made corset, fitted exactly to one's body shape, is amazingly comfortable as long as it is laced snugly but not tightly. It is necessary in many costumes not only to get the proper silhouette but to support the multitudes of skirts and petticoats. I have made multiple corsets and I wear them all the time, for hours at a clip, with absolutely no bad effects. For further information, see wonderful information at American Duchess blog, Karolina Zebrowska's youtube channel, and any reputable custom corset maker. Thanks and have a great time steampunking! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01669614354112015041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140999662040898062.post-85294985571111298242012-03-05T14:40:45.591-08:002012-03-05T14:40:45.591-08:00Yeah, I love finding new stuff like that.
