Nah corsets really do suck, it has nothing to do with feminists or men

Depends on the corset, dude. If it's not made to your measurements of high quality materials, and worn over something, it's probably gonna suck to wear.

Personally, the closest things to a corset I've worn were the bodices of my altered prom gowns and they felt amazing to wear. They were supportive and posture-correcting (and as I've recently learned, I have mild scoliosis). If I could wear something like that as my basic support garment for the rest of my life, I would be the happiest camper.

#the only health risk to a well-made NON-tightlaced corset is that you'll allow it to act as your back muscles #of course most women back in the day were working class women so there was little risk of that for them #history #clothing #x #I'm saving up for an 1870s corset and I've already got the undershirt for it #I'm so stoked
