Lucys Corsetry | Did Victorians Break-in / "Season" their Corsets? | Lucy's Corsetry @LucysCorsetry | Uploaded November 2017 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
EXPAND FOR TIMELINE AND LINKS
1:05 Victorian corsets were usually single layer and softened quickly on the body
2:50 Victorian corsets had a different construction (and shorter stitches)
5:05 Whalebone (baleen) molded to the body with body heat and perspiration
6:30 Second-hand / hand-me-down corsets were more common than you think
7:10 Some corsets were steamed and "pre-seasoned" before being sold
8:55 Victorians were accustomed to restrictive, non-stretch clothing
12:55 How long was a corset supposed to last, anyway?
