Alas for us busty gals, around the turn of the century, the pigeon breasted look became popular (don't ask me why) and the girls end up down around the waist as gravity did what gravity does. (Think Maggie Smith in Downton Abbey)In the 19-teens, ladies got tired of that and started experimenting with early bras. I'll be making one of those too!Stephanie Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04210449948990020456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4676620122743768137.post-61353275420990223512013-01-04T11:28:13.748-05:002013-01-04T11:28:13.748-05:00Not to sound totally ignorant in corets, but isn&#...Not to sound totally ignorant in corets, but isn't a corset supposed to, ahem, support your chest as well as give you a slim waist??? I don't see how this is enough support for women. {Especially a woman of my size. I need all the support I can get, LOL!}seannaapprovedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09546047220109216505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4676620122743768137.post-6221201243014020772013-01-04T02:27:41.505-05:002013-01-04T02:27:41.505-05:00Such a classic, beautiful style of corset.
