sorry but those posts saying that if you're uncomfortable in a corset you just have a bad corset are so annoying to me. any garment like that (this includes bras) and especially ones that are boned are inherently restrictive and limiting and can be painful to people wearing them even if they're well fitted. it's ridiculous to pretend it's not. like I think there's a prevalence of badly fitted garments in film etc and also distain for historical people who wore well made ones as much as the next person but we can say that without outright lying agjfshjdsfhk. you don't need to gaslight people about these garments never having been restrictive
