#people acting like Victorian women didn’t work #smh #do they not see maids in tv shows and learn about women in factories in school #idiots #you think it would be possible to work heavy machinery if your corset is cutting off your air supply and chopping your liver in half??? NOOO #and what do you think women with heavy busts did??? THEY WORE A CORSET #BECAUSE THE PRIMARY FUNCTION OF A HISTORICAL CORSET IS BUST SUPPORT #if you really want to make a tight lacing story just make a retelling of empress sissy of austria #she lived in the late 1800s and was known to take fashion trends to the extreme as a form of sh #she had custom made leather corsets bought for her so she could lace herself tighter but they’d break in a week and she’d need a new one #her doctors and friends and family and maids begged her to stop but she never did #and tight lacing isn’t even inherently bad 😒 if you think it is then get ready to also boycott stiletto heels #bc stilletto heels hurt more than a tightly laced corset 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
