No No NO! Thank you! Bruh I love this story ,but *sigh* why does it have to be like this! Why can't they just get it right! （/TДT)/
YES, it's misrepresentation. Corsets were supposed to be comfortable for women because it's an undergarment that in the past was for daily use. Corsets have such a bad reputation today and I'm sad.
Plus, the lacing on those drawn corsets are wrong so no wonder they suffer. ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
But there are some nobles that ties it as tight as they can too get that hour glass figure also it is the maid's who tightens the nobles corsets so most of them might tight it as tight as the can and other might tie it looser
Fact check
Usually extreme tight-lacing was reserved for party which noble women who extremely cared for appearance took on the challenge of lacing down 2-4 sizes. Regularly Corsets were not tight-laced and if they were it’s was for noble women and it was 0.5-1 size. The myth that corsets caused fainting spells are incorrect and the only side-effects of a corset was restricted-bending, lighter breathes(it’s hard to breathe deeply) and taking longer to eat rather than restricting how much you eat. The corsets actually gave women abdominal support, thus if they suddenly stopped wearing them they would lack the extra abdominal support from the corset. Wearing a corset doesn’t help one gain much abdominal muscles. Corsets also straighten your back for the most part so naturally if they suddenly stopped wearing a corset their posture may decline. Sorry for the rant but I hate when story’s f up like this. See ya
