WAIT, somebody acknowledging that the Victorian silhouette was largely because of padding?!?!?!?! <3 <3 <3 <3

Tight-waisting was NOT common, people! Cinching =/= tight-waisting, and is required to keep everything structurally in-place (as otherwise everything falls down because gravity).

I always get so peeved when people go and say corsets were torture devices women were forced to wear to please men or whatever.

My corsets are my most comfortable undergarments in my wardrobe. The back support feels amazing.

Might you share where you for yours please? I tried finding some for myself but I either get the "goth" corsets or the medical braces ones in results
