Please do a little more research before making claims 🥲 working class women also wore corsets back in the day and it was primarily for back and boob support (they wouldn't be able to work if a corset was as restrictive as you claim, and they certainly didn't have a whole team to lace them in). Bridgerton was set in the Regency Era which had looser style clothing that wouldn't require a "cinched" waist, they only added that bit in to show how desperate some women were to find a match. Corsets were tailor-made for women to be as comfortable and adjustable as possible and did not have size limitations.
@@martamaj2178 Tight-lacing was an optional trend that was added to the construction and durability of corsets in the mid-1800s. Other corsets before this time period really weren’t designed to take the brunt of tight-lacing. Corsets and stays were customizable and weren't as restrictive as people today believe. Obviously it's not as comfortable as undergarments today, but there are a lot of misconceptions out there about corsets.
Karolina Żebrowska would be so proud reading this
@@Karhaid my meme mom 😭
💯
Thank you! I have been doing a lot of research on corsets lately because of a tiktok I recently watched, but the amount of misinformation of corsets and stays.
I really wish they did research about what role a corset actually played in history before just saying popular misconceptions.
Ikr. Kind of pisses me off when I wear a corset and someone in my family goes, “Wont that screw up your organs?” Smh
One minute in and I'm already screaming at vivian's inaccurate telling of what corsets were for and how they were used. Also this is not even close to what I think of when I think fashion corset. Like everyone looks super cute but like... grumble grumble at every time they say corset
I'd love to see y'all wear actual corsets, instead of bustiers. An actual corset/set of stays, custom made by someone in the historical fashion world, rather than a fashion designer. For information on how corsets (along with video/pictoral proof from different eras) actually worked for women -- rather than the male-forced 'common knowledge' -- go check out Cathy Hay, Karolina Zebrowska, Bernadette Banner, Abby Cox, and a lot more.
I love all of them and their knowledge. I’d like to get a corset but haven’t. I used to weigh 300 lbs (hormone problems like PCOS and a back injury do not go well together), and now I weigh about 120 lbs. But when I lost the weight it mainly left my boobs very saggy, going from a 48DDD to something like a 38C, and excessive skin on the “apron” of stomach. It annoys me because I want to wear crop tops, things with open backs (I’d like to have an even smaller chest - being non-binary I found a sports bra that makes me almost flat), and stuff like corsets. But I don’t want people to see wrinkly skin - but I’m too paranoid to try and find a plastic surgeon and have the excess skin removed because of COVID and any other chance of infection.
I do want to find some more vintage style clothes as I can’t sew, but I don’t know where to look. My style ranges from alternative to very girly. But my back is losing the cushioning between the vertebrae all down my spine, so I don’t know if the corset would make the pain I feel 24/7, worse or better.
@@kimberlyhaines107 maybe you could look for a seamstress that knows how to make corsets and talk about a style that could work for you. And if you do get one made, obviously starting to wear it limited amounts of time and slowly increasing. Also, congrats on the health improvements!
@@FlagCutie Yeah, I remember when the Try Guys wore them for a weekend, and the shop they went to went through how you slowly work your way through sizing and getting used to the sensation of a corset. Of course that’s in LA and I love over 200+ miles from there. But thank you! I’m much happier (even with the annoying excess skin) being so tiny. I have to wear like smalls and sometimes mediums (which sometimes look too baggy) in terms of shirts - bottoms are more complicated and larger because of the excess skin, and because I have a longer torso with that perfect hourglass figure that a lot of women want, but I have shorter legs, so pants, skirts, etc. tend to be longer on me than on other people. Hence why I almost have to get booty shorts to have short shorts for when it gets above 110 degrees here in the summer.
@@kimberlyhaines107 the irony that the Try Guys were more accurate in their exploration of corsets than this video!
Yeah, being in a major city helps, but maybe slowly googling stuff close to your area. Years ago I went to a comicon with a friend and she got a business card from a corset store 45 minutes from us and has since bought some more stuff from them.
I wish more people realized that the "corset" scene in Bridgerton would have been impossible with the hand stitched grommets that were seen on the stays. Tight-lacing wasn't possible in the regency era and didn't occur until metal grommets were used in corsetry which made it possible. Also, not everybody tight-laced even when it was possible.
Corsets were used for boob and back support, not cinching the waist. They were tailored to women and quite flexible. Also, historically the holes in the back were sown and not metal eyelets, so you actually couldn't pull the corset all that much or it would ruin it
Tight lacing was more for fashion and shock value, it was rare. The whole fainting in a corset idea was more of a literatury device. Corsets were made for bust and back support. Working class women wore them for many tasks and were able to lace them by themselves. The fact that corsets are so demonised today is because of Victorian men. I’d recommend Bernadette Banner’s video on the subject.
Exactly, women who did "faint" used it as a way to get a break in a male dominated world. It was one of the few ways to have control.
Yes, five minutes in the world of CosTubers would have yielded a plethora of information for this video.
A reason why men started writing that corsets were bad was corset making was predominantly a woman's field. It made some women wealthy.
It was also around the time women started calling to have voting rights.
Wow i never knew this
corsets weren't just for the tiny waist... in reality they were made for back and boob support and they were customized to the lady wearing them. with all the household chores that ladies had to do corsets were a stable in order to function. it was Victorian men who decided to write it that it was for beauty and vanity, which only really applied to the Richer and wealthier
I’m glad I found this comment because I had lost all hope ❤️
Yep it was the men who spread more propaganda of how stays are bad because making undergarments is an industry dominated by women and women only so men were threatened by that so yeah- it did work and while people today view corsets as like a restriction of the patriarchy or sth like that ironically corsets are made by women for women so yeah. Also Noble women were probably chubbier and due to the hoop skirts it gave the illusion that their waists are smaller. Normal working class women all wore stays, and did a lot of hard physical activities in them
I'm glad someone said this 🙌
Absolutely correct. Women have been wearing stays for hundreds of years. If they were the torture devices men wanted to portray them as, then women would have died by the thousands. Almost /all/ of the makers of womens' fashion (including corrsets/stays) were women. Designed, run, and made by women, for womens' bodies. They could run, play sports, ride horses, and do all of their work throughout the day.
Also, the tightlacing phenomenon was only rarely used when women were shamed for gaining any sort of weight, usually by husbands who wouldn't pay to have their clothes altered (which was a norm for hundreds of years).
Yea, ribs in wrong places because of coursets prove your point as well as it's possible.
Why are you using Bridgerton (i.e. famously self-proclaimed non-accurate period costumes) as an example? Natural waist-lines were in fashion during the regency era.
IKR it’s fictional and shouldn’t be used as fact.
mabel has such a creative sense of style, like the two different color eyes? wow
That's not something new tho...I've been wearing two different colored contacts since highschool. Sometimes I do the same with my Converse shoes. xD
@@ninasavic1951 it doesn’t matter if it’s not new or something you’ve “been” doing.. it was cute and different compared to the other girls 😄 some people have never seen that before
Heterochromia iridium
Regular corsets are size inclusive! Just look at a sizing chart or go to a corset store. God I miss ladylike they actually did research before making claims 🙄
A lot of the girls from ladylike have their own individual channels now.
@@deomvii I know I fallow them lol. I'm just done with buzzfeed
@@deomvii tell me their names
These aren't even corsets. These are halter tops. Plus, corsets were never constricting. Tight lacing was hardly ever done, as a corset was a structure support that would be worn all day, and people needed to move.
Ummm...... when you know corsets weren’t originally used to “cinch” your waist 🤨
They were used for posture if I remember correctly
Exactly what I was thinking! They were made to help with posture, lift your breasts, and they were way easier to live in than bras. They weren’t made to be some overly sexual thing. They were made for women by women
Brooklyn sing a Bridgerton the show for corsets. It is one of the worst things you can do, corsets are not as constricting as people assume. I wear one everyday, and I'm fine. I use it for support, as long as you don't tight lace, which is what those people are doing in those shows, you are fine. I am actually kind of getting annoyed that everyone thinks everyone tight laces that is not the case.
damn moldy voldy do be fashionable
The level of corset/stays ignorance is HIGH
Agreed. I'm rather bummed out. What these ladies modeled is in no way shape or form even close to a corset. 🤦🙄
I know right and i thought at least viv knew more about fashion... Also she kept mentioning bridgerton. Dont even get me started with the fashion in that show and how they lace up. Smh
* Howls in Bernadette Banner *
/joins in with the howling
I'll join in...howling
😂
Yes. And our lady Bernadette did a way more accurate fashion corset video recently. Honestly, why am I watching this, I already know this trope lol.
Adding another howl.
I'm sorry but doesn't BuzzFeed literally have a research team that could have given these ladies some correct background information before this video? Or when they saw the misinformation they were using edit it out?
I came to call out the misinformation on this too cuz corsets were closer to bras. Then I come to find that a ton of other people are calling it out too.
As someone *plus size* who owns nearly 20 corsets, they're actually super comfortable, no trouble breathing, etc. I started collecting them because they're great for back support and most corset companies are *very* size inclusive.
[And fashion corsets, in comparison, are atrocious. I have yet to find a decent one that *is* size inclusive, actually.]
I commented the above minute in, not even two minutes in and I have to duck out of this video, it's so bad with how terrible the research was and the corset slander, while these are bustiers to boot.
I so glad so many people are committed to dispelling the foster myths. Thanks for your comment.
Historical costuming buffs are just shaking their heads at the bridgerton and corset comments.
I'm goth and I wear corsets on daily basis. Anything in this video wasn't event remotly close to truth. Corsets are like bras if you have a good one tailored to you it shouldn't be uncomfortable. To make the matters worse you were wearing just thight tops not even a corset top
Brigerton is inaccurate they wouldn’t have been wearing corsets they’d be wearing stays also corsets weren’t for the waist they where to support to breasts the modern depiction of corsets being bad, unbreathable and painful is a false assumption that was created by men
Can we please do research on people actually wearing corsets in the past, before making a video about it? Bridgerton’s depiction of corsetry is completely wrong. It would take a two minute search on RUclips to find a million videos of clothing historians busting corset myths.
But isn't it true that corsets were also used as a means of suppressing women's bodies and creating an ideal body image? Just curious. I know corset can be used for treatment.
I think the main difference is that in modern times, we think in terms of the ideal body shape. We don’t wear are clothing in a way that can drastically change the way your body looks to match the ideal body shapes we have today. For example, in the US right now the ideal body shape is the Kardashian body: big boobs, tiny waist, and big butt. The only way most of us can achieve this body is through plastic surgery. However, in the past, it wasn’t an ideal body shape they were going for. They were trying to achieve a fashionable clothing silhouette. To do this, but they would use padding and the shape of the corset would change to match the silhouette. The corset was not used to actually change the body of the person wearing it. It was a supportive undergarment. The depictions of tight lacing, to make the waist physically smaller, we see in shows and on TV is false. It was very rare that anyone did it, and was actually condemned by doctors (mostly men back then) and the media (newspaper articles and comics illustrate this.) If you want a better explanation than mine, Bernadette Banner on RUclips is really great. She’s a fashion historian that has done multiple videos on the subject. She also had to wear a medical corset for her spinal issues, and explains the differences in those and historical corsets.
But what these ladies modeled isnt even a corset?? Like not even close? 🤷😑
I would really love to see some ACTUAL corsets styled. (Especially from ethical and sustainable minded companies and artsists.) Fast fashion needs to stop.
THANK YOUU
Pro tip: Bridgerton is a historical nightmare. They wouldn't even have worn corsets at that point in history. Thus referring to anything from Bridgerton and then saying "we don't do that any more" shows how uninformed this video is
Is it just me or does that not really look like a corset? More like a bathing suit
I am noexpert, but all of these look more like bustiers than corsets.
theyre just like bustiers with some boning
It's more of a regency era corselet which was only for boob shaping for the empire waisted fashions of the time
Especially with the long skirt. It just looked like she was wearing a wrap over a swimsuit lol.
It's just thight top
Here to add to the pile of already present comments about the gross misconceptions around corsets. Corsets were never historically intended to be uncomfortable or even really make the waist smaller. They were for support and for creating a specfic shape. Women did not lace them so tightly as protrayed in modern film and tv. It's ridiculous what a bad reputation corsets have garnered, when honestly girdles and bras are much more uncomfortable than corsets ever were.
(This is some information I have gotten from my own research. I am in no way an expert if any kind in the world of corsets or stays and this is simply information I have heard/read, if someone with more knowledge on corsets has anything to add or correct, feel free to do so).
Corsets weren't originally meant to be about making the waist smaller. They were used for breast and back support. They supported the boobs from below distributing the weight of the breast across the upper body opposed to modern bras that hold the boobs up from the bottom and pulling them up and puttinh all the weight kf the breasts on the shoulders, neck and upper back. Sude effects of wearing corsests did include smaller looking waists, enhanced boobs, and sometimes temporarily shifting organs that caused no internal damage. Corsets were also meant to be worn over an undergarment, not on bare skin.
Lol everyone except Bernadette Banner is in these comments
At this point seeing a thumbnail of Joyce is clickbait because im here for her energy. Also Mabel and Vivian are queens and we love to see it
lmao they dont even wear corsets in bridgerton, those are stays, and they completely misrepresented them anyway. stays are more like. slightly structured tank tops :^ )))
also, corsets are super comfortable, and have never really been about making your waist tiny
It would take no more than 20 minutes of research on youtube to discover that NO corset werent made to make the waste go smaller, it was just underwear that also worked as a shapewear. No, it wasn't supposed to Hurt, there were even corsets made for sports.
You should look at anything Bernadete Banners
If you can’t breathe in your corset, it doesn’t fit you. Corsets are literally just underwear, like bras.
Bridgerton, while fun, is Regency Fantasy. Do not take anything you see as historically accurate.
damn. sadly this is so off for me. came for ideas on how to style my corsets and before even a minute in I'm sighing at the misinformation. doesn't buzzfeed have someone on staff to help spot stuff like this?
I swear they have a research department. It is a huge let down. What happened to fact checking and responsible media.
I'm loving Mabel's confidence in that outfit! She should feel like that every day
Excuse me as I wait for Bernadette Banner to respond to this...
Also waiting 🤣
Mentally preparing for the tight lacing false claims. Tight lacing wasn’t the way most women did it, especially not if the eyelet holes were hand stitched like in Bridgerton, it’s just full of ‘sexy’ corseting and the false claim of tight lacing, neither of which are even remotely historically accurate. Plus, Bridgerton (Regency era) had stays, nor corsets. Bernadette Banner and Karolina Zebrowski need to come save this video.
Not to beat a dead horse but while Bridgeton was a fun show it was not historically accurate, especially in the fashion department. In fact tight lacing is really nothing more than a trope, though was practiced in *some* burlesque settings but that was also kinda rare. All yall need to watch some Bernadette Banner or Karolina Zebrowska videos smh
I pray That Anyone Sees This Is success In Life!!
Same to you!!@!
Sure you do
Mabel looked amazing! She's so gorgeous. And Joyce's confidence she's always exuding is awesome! Love watching these videos.
Those weren't corsets, not even fashion corsets. I wouldn't even call that a stay. Ya'll should be not only be ashamed for this video but embarrassed. The information that you passed about corsetry is wrong. It's straight up ignorance. They were supportive garments that came in a wide variety of shapes and functions. Some women in the Victorian era did tight-lace but that was more for a statement, a fashion plate or shown by TV shows. It was by no means close to the norm.
All that complaining aside, I want that color-blocked leather jacket.
its just a shirt with boning lol
Camisoles
can we just talk about how they have their pronouns when introducing them. we stan
Mabel my hauntingly beautiful queen. I loved your outfit. You styled the sh*t outta that corset.
Me: just bought 4 corset tops online
RUclips: recommend this video
Me: hmmmm
There’s so many ways to style corsets. Look on TikTok for more inspo!
Bernadette Banner should really see this 😂 (i love her and her love for fashion history)
These ladies fashion styles are so good. I have said it before but this is my favorite series.
Ok but Joyce’s final look was everything!
I. Love. Mabel. Oh my god and her style? Yesss
All the ladies look great! I love Joyce's first look. So unexpected.
Love that they styled it so differently...goes to show how versatile it can be for a variety of bodies and styles
Lol at Viv saying corSET but when she wasn’t thinking about the word, she said it correctly 😂
Hear that rumbling? That's the sound of the historical clothing community coming to argue that tightlacing was never the norm
I wish it was a different corset... that one is not that cute and looks more like a bathing suit than a corset.
Yeah I mean they are all corsets, i just wish they tried different style corsets. And picked ones that actually matched their bodies.
THANK YOU FOR ADDING PRONOUNS
Mabel slayed that outfit 😍
Literally fabulous
"Corsets were to cinch in the waist and make it really small". No they weren't. They were for support and for most of history you couldn't pull really tight or you'd rip the fabric,
Really wish companies would do even a little bit of research for their videos
I thought they all did great! Joyce was especially creative and they all worked!❤❤
Tight lacing was not a common practice...using Bridgerton as your reference shows you didn't do any proper research.
They all look so fire!
joyce’s first outfit is soooooooo cute!!!!!!
Yess! Cuttteee. I just got some corsets actually because of tiktok 🙈 and can't wait to play!
I mean, you could have at least looked up ONE costuber/fashion historian video on corsetry before making claims about corsets. The lack of fact checking is appalling.
The girl with the pink outfit is sooooooooo adorable
*Bernadette Banner has entered the chat*
Yaasahhh!!! Mabel is back!!!!
Loved Mabel look
Amazing. I was legit looking up fashion corsets but was so confused about how it would translate to body types other than the models on the websites.
when i saw mabel in that corset I gasp she’s gorgeous
Tight lacing wasnt all that common actually. Corsets were basically bras before bras. They were very flexible. And the only reason smaller corsets r around today is because the bigger ones had more fabric that could be remade into other things, while smaller ones didnt have as much fabric so they were left alone.
Vivian looking GORGEOUS as always!!!
Claim your here before a million views ticket here✌️
joyce looks so cute!!!
@0:39 She so loud and confident with her wrongness! More size inclusive? They were literally made to fit each woman.
Not trying to be mean but like? People were perfectly capable of existing in corsets before bras came about. It wasn't like "oh I'm going to get 4 people tighten my corset so tight that I cannot physically breathe or move, but at least I'll have that hourglass shape." Tightlacing was not nearly as common as shown in TV and movies, and they were really meant more for support than for changing the shape of your body. Of course they did give you a bit of shape so that you could keep up with the newest silhouettes and styles, but women were still perfectly capable of getting things done in corsets
JOICE IS A WHOLE MOOD
Got the history of corsets a bit wrong, probably should’ve brought in Bernadette banner or another fashion historian.
Let us continue to promote ignorance of disabled people, like those who rely on braces and corsets.
I love this trio, but Mabel is my queen. I'll watch any video she's in
Notification squad! ! Love u ladies!!!💜💜💜💜
No...just no. Do not base your knowledge of corsets off of tv shows. Corsets were designed by women for women and meant to offer extra support. Tight lacing was very rare and pretty much done by aristocracy. Working women did not tight lace and they did some seriously hard core work. Also, athletic corsets were a thing. I hate these bs stories about how it takes a lot of ppl to put on and it is uncomfortable. A properly made corset to fit your body is not much harder than putting on a bra and typically i find is easier to exercise in. I used to do pe class in high school in a corset because it helped my posture.
Really wish we could leave the myth that corsets were meant to be worn tightly back in 2020 where it belongs. In 2021, I'd like us to all educate ourselves on how corsets were only ever meant to be support in the same way that bras are. You wouldn't wear a bra that is too tight and women back in the day didn't wear extremely tight corsets. While it ~could~ have been a trend among a very select few, it was NEVER a widespread thing.
Love the HIM shirt 🥰👍🏾
First, this is absolutely not a corset. At all 😂 it's a cute, boned top, but definitely not a corset. And if anyone says, that this is what they are called...maybe, but that still doesn't make it a corset. And secondly, PLEASE, do some research, because then they wouldn't think this: you can't breath in corsets. that only happens if it doesn't fit right. and they were not made for making the waist smaller, they were basically a bra with back support. and about Bridgerton....I haven't seen it, but this scene she showed made me cringe so hard, because.. WHERE ARE THE CHEMISES?! like..... don't wear a corset without a chemise...
if someone actually read this, I'm sorry, I had to rant a bit 😂 hope you are doing good and you are healthy ❤️
Corsets were rarely worn to cinch in one's waist. They were worn for back support. The reason that the waists looked small is because women would wear padding on their hips and chest to create the illusion of a smaller waist.
All the things you see in movies and books about women lacing their corsets tightly are for dramatic effect. It's not historically accurate. Sure, a few women did tightlace but it was incredibly rare.
Ribs pushing into lungs and heart were veeeeeery good for these women's health.
@@martamaj2178 There's no recorded case of that happening. It's also physically impossible for a corset to do that.
@@martamaj2178 Here's the thing. I have studied corsetry for over 20 years and have worn corsets and garments of that nature for over 10. My doctors are aware and have seen that they have not caused me physical harm and have actually helped my back issues.
Corsets are simply pretty back braces. That was always their intention. The only time they cause harm is if the wearer is wearing one that is the wrong style for their body or is laced too tight. Shoes are the same way but no one is making a big deal of that.
@@martamaj2178 When fitted and worn properly, corsets are about as dangerous as an underwire bra.
@@ellar6188 Frankly, probably less so. :)
Corsets distributed the weight of one's chest over a large area. Bras put all the weight on the shoulders.
Loving you sick in this Joyce!!!
OMG I as just watching As/Is
Damn they all killed it
*i love corsets*
Thooooseeee aint corsetsss
Joyce went ahead and bodied this challenge.
okay but i think joyce first outfit with the corset was much better than the final result
The question is. Do the corset support your back or posture?
Omg you so pretty 🤩
Appreciate the content! Keep it up.
That HIM shirt uuufffff🖤💜🖤💜😍
Hi
What ya'll wearing wouldn't even be considered corsets or even stays they are more like tops.
Joyce did a great job! I loved how she gave us casual, sexy, cool and trendy, moody, sexy.
