most clothing historians: hey so corsets weren't actually the unilateral torture devices they get portrayed as in fiction. most women wore them in a comfortable, or at least tolerable, manner on an everyday basis and it's kind of messed up that we're ignoring their lived experiences to promote a false narrative

too many people online: UM BUT THEY WEREN'T ALL GOOD THEY WEREN'T PERFECT AND WONDERFUL FOREVER. THAT'S DEFINITELY WHAT YOU JUST SAID. YOU LOVE CORSETS SO SO MUCH AND THINK THEY COULD NEVER BE HARMFUL AND I JUST THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO KEEP IN MIND THAT THEY WERE ACTUALLY TORTURE DEVICES SOMETIMES. WE'RE LOSING SIGHT OF THAT. WE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT THEY WERE BAD SOMETIMES. AND UNCOMFORTABLE. AND PATRIARCHAL. DON'T FORGET THAT!!! DID YOU FORGET IT? I WILL REMIND YOU SINCE YOU SEEM TO WORSHIP CORSETS OR SOMETHING

Edit: while I appreciate people weighing in on their corset thoughts in the notes, this isn’t really meant to be about whether corsets are good or bad, or comfortable or not. It’s about people inventing this mostly-strawman character of “historical costumer who thinks corsets are the best thing ever with no nuance“ and responding to it

"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.

Smallest corset I've made so far. Yeah, the client really is so tiny.

just saw the absolutely brainworms take that “the Netflix corset ban isn’t real, so all those Horrible Unfeminist Corset Defenders [historical costumers] must be happy!!!!” 

as if the community at large didn’t respond to the rumor with “yeah no it’s bullshit because it’s fake history being used to justify torturing women on film sets, and now the networks want a pat on the back for Fixing a problem they invented in the first place”

thankfully it was just the tags on like two reblogs of an otherwise decent post, but. ye gods. talk about putting words in people’s mouths

Your regular reminder that there's a million ways to style corsets, and that cis men can look really good in them.
