"corsets are only surrounded by stigma because MEN demonized them" you can say it's because of the feminists. it's okay. sometimes feminists were wrong and did bad. it's okay to admit that.
#a little application of occam's razor will not hurt you#history#respublica#sexuality#x#did men say negative stuff about corsets at the time? yes. tightlaced ones. 'waspish' ones#I have an extant sample of such a criticism in one of my antique books#Dr. Flower gets a bad rap for demonizing corsets but if you actually read his book he is demonizing TIGHT-LACING#every woman a man knew in the 1860s wore a corset in some fashion or another#and had done so for 200 years#and would continue to do so for at least another 50 years#it was the feminists and flappers who killed the corset#periodt

It's been far too long since I last drew Yennefer :)
#the witcher books#yennefer of vengerberg#the Witcher#my art#drawing her with a back brace inspired corset is important to me actually#I got to use all the references I've been saving of clothing that reminds me of her >:)#I love her so much I don't talk about her enough#I have a personal indulgence of headcanoning her as aromantic :)#also noticed a stray brush stroke just now.... no one mention it

the listening/reading comprehension- where is it?
dress history researchers: corsets and stays are not universal torture devices that render basic physical functionality impossible. most women did not tightlace to extremes in their everyday lives. fiction and pop history distort the realities of those women's lives and how they wore their corsets to play into popular misconceptions partially originated by men both fetishizing and demonizing corsets when they were more common.
some person on the internet: OMG STOP SAYING ALL WOMEN LOVED CORSETS!!! CLEARLY YOU ARE SAYING THAT CORSETS ARE THE BEST THING EVER FOR EVERY WOMAN, AND THAT THEY NEVER HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH HARMFUL BEAUTY STANDARDS THROUGHOUT ALL OF HISTORY FOREVER AMEN!!!!
#dress history#fashion history#please don't judge current thought in the field by overzealous YouTube comments#that probably are intentional hyperbole anyway#corsets#corset discourse#I'm so sick of it#People Be Normal About Corsets Challenge#(a friend of mine once read a book that had 'banal corsetry' as a selling point on Goodreads)#(ie the corsets are just There and not made much of in either direction)#(thank the gods. more of this please)

Here Harriet called out her own apparel as being inadequate for the task at hand.
In our late expedition up the Combahee River, in coming on board the boat, I was carrying two pigs for a poor sick woman, who had a child to carry, and the order 'double quick' was given, and I started to run, stepped on my dress, it being rather long, and fell and tore it almost off, so that when I got on board the boat there was hardly any thing left of it but shreds. I made up my mind then I would never wear a long dress on another expedition of the kind, but would have a bloomer as soon as I could get it.
It was typical of Harriet to be so focused on the needs of others in the moment... that she tripped in the process. She also announced that she desired the practical, split-leg garment that was becoming a visible signifier of women's independence. Here, too, her commentary was social critique, highlighting the confining clothing women were expected to wear. Harriet had said, before the war: "The good Lord was come down to deliver my people, and I must go and help him." Carrying out God's mission, in her view, left room for social analysis, for vanquishing enemies with the sword, and for women's unabashed leadership.

“Headline: Christmas Prince falls into minor coma at sight of guy he kissed one and a half years ago who had the audacity to get even hotter in the interim” has got to be one of the funniest opening lines to a chapter I’ve read in a long time
#like what an attention keeper#bc I too would go into a coma over a guy in a corset vest#the nightmare before kissmass#sara raasch#mm books#mlm books

Heroines always complained about corsets in stories. Not being a heroine, she found corsets entirely necessary to support wicked curves. Emer had made clear the chemise was a scandalous garment. Dressed thus, the scaffolding that heaved Rae's bosom high was obvious.

Every time a piece of media uses the “I can’t breathe” corset trope, a fashion historian cries.
#the next book I pick up that mentions it is getting thrown out the window and into the gutter#hell I might just send THIS book back to the library early#chances are if you can’t breathe then your corset is laced up too tight#but then how would we know that the main character is not like other girls??? 🥺#ugh.#artschoolrambles
