"Es tan beautiful, como lo pensé..." 🌬💙

Conflicting character development

Alternatively

Corsets were underwear, not torture devices used to “keep women in place” or “an extreme beauty standard.”. Women wore corsets, men wore corsets, children wore corsets, they were not evil, they were regular undergarments. Given they didn’t have bras in the 16th - 19th century for women that is what they were used as. Or they were used as shapewear because if they didn’t have bras, they definitely didn’t have spanx or any sort of our modern shapewear. Also they were used orthopedically for people with bad backs, this is where you see metal corset coming from.

A good rule for modern corset shopping is that it should be high quality and fit you well (it should really be tailored to you). If it doesn’t keep its shape when lying flat, that isn’t good. You need a corset that is your size (much like chest binders, shopping down a size is dangerous and will harm your ribs, no matter how much more it could potentially flatten parts of your appearance.). Lace your corset with enough of a gap so that you can breathe (generally 2 - 4” or to the point where you can still fit your hand or several fingers within the top or bottom of the garment) and “season” them, which is a specific way to say that you should break them in by wearing them a little day by day until they are comfortable, just as you would with shoes.

There was a TikTok trend going around a while ago in which women would rapidly tighten a corset they were wearing to the song “Haus of Holbein” from SIX the musical. DO NOT do this, especially with the cheap amazon corsets these women were wearing. Take your time and get help.

Also wear something between you and the corset, traditionally a chemise would have been used but probably any undergarment you wear to make sure you are not having skin to fabric touching will work.

“But women were always fainting from corsets! They couldn’t breathe!” In the wise words of John Green “Everything is Tuberculosis”, of course in this case, not everything as there could be many different illnesses and underlying health conditions a woman could be suffering from that would cause them to faint. It might not even be a health related reason. I’ll admit that sometimes tight lacing happened and the woman with the too tight corset fainted, but as previously stated your average woman was not tight lacing.
