The word “ corset ” can conjure countless images in one’s mind. Some may think of a tightly laced, organ-squishing garment worn by women in the 18th and 19th centuries to achieve an hourglass figure–the type that is referenced in historical television dramas and movies such as Bridgerton and Enola Holmes. Others may be reminded of the latest trend of modern, fashionable corsets, popularized by celebrities such as Billie Eilish, Bella Hadid and others, and may even have one in their closet. Bernadette Banner, known for her YouTube channel that explores historical attire, compared a modern, steampunk fashion corset with her Victorian corsets in a video . After trying on the modern corset, she explains how the steel bones on the corset dig into her actual bones, causing hip pain after only five minutes of wearing the garment.

ISBN 0-9683039-0-0.During the late 19th century tight-lacing has raised some concerns. Some doctors supported the theory that corset may cause health injuries, specifically during pregnancy and women who practiced tight-lacing were looked upon as slaves to fashion. A corset is a support garment commonly worn to hold and train the torso into a desired shape, traditionally a smaller waist or larger bottom, for aesthetic or medical purposes (either for the duration of wearing it or with a more lasting effect), or support the breasts. Both men and women are known to wear corsets, though this item was for many years an integral part of women's wardrobes. The corset reached its greatest length in the early 20th century. At first, the longline corset reached from the bust down to the upper thigh. There was also a style of longline corset that started under the bust, and necessitated the wearing of a brassiere, a style that was meant to complement the new silhouette. It was a boneless style, much closer to a modern girdle than the traditional corset. century [ edit ] Woman's corset (stays) c. 1730–1740.

Fans of her Boucher corsets include the model Bella Hadid, and pop stars Miley Cyrus and FKA Twigs. Twigs modelled some of her extensive vintage Westwood collection for her digital zine Avantgarden.
