For today's episode we wanted to chat about our different Redthreaded corsets, their shape, fit, some customization options, etc. We also want to help give everyone an idea about what a corset in the 1830s is supposed to feel and look like. (Hint: It's not about a wasp waist y'all.)
As with all boned support garments, the right corset is crucial in achieving the correct historical silhouette (time for tea y'all!), and we're happy that we were able to invest in buying a great corset from Redthreaded instead of ugly crying in the bathroom trying to make and fit our own.
Both of us purchased our corsets from Redthreaded (redthreaded.com/) and we are extremely happy with them. This isn't a paid advertisement, we just genuinely believe in Cynthia's business and products.
Lauren's corset is the Sylvie which is here: redthreaded.com/collections/redthreaded-atelier/products/the-sylvie-stays-1830s-1840s
Abby's is the Standard 1830s/40s corset here: redthreaded.com/collections/historical-corsets-ready-to-ship/products/1830s
If you're feeling extra sassy, Cynthia also offers a DAR reproduction 1830s corset in her Atelier line, too! (It's cut all on the bias, so it's really cool!) redthreaded.com/collections/redthreaded-atelier/products/the-charlotte-stays-1830s

![Gigot Girl Gang vs. Axe Throwing | Historical Costuming Shenanigans
As proper [almost] Victorian ladies😂 , we asked ourselves a few questions:
1. Can Victorian Ladies throw axes like Jason Momoa?
2. How would Jason Momoa look in a corset?
3. Do corsets get in the way of axe throwing?
4. Is the best axe throwing technique for a not quite Victorian Lady the single or double-handed throw?
Well, as very curious historical costumers, there was only one way to find out, and a night out at the Reno Axe Bar was planned. Axes were launched. Sleeves were ripped. We learned that corsets and axe-throwing do well together, but axe-throwing and gigot sleeves do not...(or the big caps and tall hair for that matter...). So yes, ladies, from now on, remember that a corset does not restrict your axe-throwing abilities. Finally, we manage to answer the most important historical costuming question of all time - Can a Victorian Lady throw an axe like Jason Momoa?
Historical Costuming experiments, ftw!
