Mhh the guy is horny af and it's slightly sexist so I'm dropping this would be nice if this was a cute fall in love story and not the typical sexualised woman story
he's not horny? and he's a complete gentleman who doesn't take advantage of her who doesn't mind being in underwear around a man who is not in a relationship with. Of course even I, a woman, would find her fairly attractive and even a little bit "horny"/confused, if a lady had been in just her underwear around me. the woman is not sexualized as much as she is thought of as a silly child running around in just their undergarment. he genuinely takes care of her.
I've actually heard that corsets weren't as bad as we're making them out to be. They were underwear and also covered the breasts so that they had support and thus were not only used to make a womans waist look thin (though that reason is really really stupid). Bras weren't evented then so what did those woman wear instead? Nothing?
So this is really far off of reality
I'm not sure I agree. Multiple actresses who have played historical figures and had to wear corsets report that it hurt and was extremely uncomfortable at best. I forgot who it was but I remember that one of them was on the Graham Norton show and she said that it rearranged her inner organs in an inhuman way
Yeah, actresses who wear corsets that aren't made for them and are put right against the skin of course are gonna be in pain, especially if they tight lace. But the thing is, wearing a corset like that is something that a no one would have done in the past, and tight lacing was actually super fucking rare. But of course, Hollywood doesn't care about historical accuracy when they can have a "sexy" scene of a girl having her corset tightened right against her skin
Was about to post this very point.
Replaced with nothing?
I doubt anyone but the very young would ditch corsets entirely with no alternative.
It took entire generational shifts, revolutionary materials (elastic and nylon) and a couple of freaking world wars for our societies to drop them entirely in the mainstream.
And even today we still have shape wear to flatten tummies and lift breasts.
We still have corsets, just by a different name like, girdles and spanx.
Not even getting into corset culture and how most modern cheap mass produced corsets are almost nothing like the custom made ones of the times.
I feel like it's because of the emperor that trashta has those ideas so he's actually worse
