Not only that but there were actually benefits to wearing a corset, mainly helping with posture, chest support, and helps prevent back pain.
I remember learning that the whole 'corsets are dangerous and move your organs!' was started as some kind of propaganda, though I can't remember where. But yeah, it does show lack of foresight from the author. Maybe in this universe they actually are dangerous? ehh, doubt it.
Maybe because those ladies didn't have a choice in the matter, in that era people only used corsets for esthetics, not for health, and they used really tight too.
That's completely not true. Literally, completely false.
Corsets were not harmful to the health. Very few people had tiny waists, and those that did trained their waists down over years, and that wasn't dangerous either.
Corsets not only functioned as bust support, but also offered spinal support during pregnancy (they had special maternity corsets that didn't compress).
Most people wore corsets with little to no waist reduction, and women absolutely were able to choose how much reduction they wanted. Most chose not to tightlace/waist train.
And, it was actually men that were vocally against the practice and not women.
Thanks for the information, I didn't know about that (=・ω・=)
So glad so many other comments were bothered about this anti-corset nonsense!
Why do none of these authors ever do any research whatsoever‽ Given the overwhelming amount of detail given to so much in this manhwa, I really expected better.
Many women were corsets that were the same as their natural measurements!!! Most women did not tight lace!
