It’s no secret that ladies will go to just about any length to look good. Even it means donning items that will surely be considered torture devices in the future.
In the 1800’s, society’s general notion was that that a woman was fragile and needed assistance to hold her up and of course, shape her silhouette. The tighter your corset was, the more respected you were, as it was often said that a loose corset meant a “loose woman”. Even girls as young as three and four were laced up into bodices. Although it probably sounded like a great idea, they eventually found out that the corset deformed internal organs making it impossible to draw deep breath, whether you were wearing it or not. No wonder women were considered the weaker sex for so long, they were always fainting!
But we can breathe a sigh of relief today, as the corset is now more of a novelty than a mandatory wardrobe item.
