The idea of corsets affecting women's health is actually more of a myth and exaggeration. Every woman wore corsets everyay, just as we wear bras. Some women had issues with their weight, much as we have anorexya and bulimia today and might have laced them too tight. But the whole idea of the corset and the stays are that theyre supoosed to be comfortable. If the corset is umconfortably tight, you're doing something wrong.

If the corsets make you feel uncomfortable, then you are not wearing the right size. Corsets can give you the snatched look. The corset can take some time to adjust exactly to your body size and shape, but too much discomfort is a sign that you have to change the size of your corset. also link to that museum??

The idea of corsets is still largely misunderstood. For 99.9% of women, corsets acted as support garments the way we wear bras now. Nearly all women wore corsets every day, without any problem. It was only high-class women who were expected to be fashionably thin who wore their corsets extremely tight. Women who worked - factory workers, maids, laundresses, nurses, school teachers, even nuns - wore their corsets at comfortable tightness which still allowed them to do their jobs unimpeded. And maternity corsets ABSOLUTELY existed, that served the same function as modern-day belly bands. In some ways, corsets would have been more comfortable than modern bras, not less, because the pressure was distributed evenly around the torso instead of just at the shoulder blades and rib cage, and certainly underwires were not involved.

Legit some of my extremely fair-skinned friends, because many brands don't sell shades light enough, just resort to using things like corn starch as a foundation powder. Interesting still... in asian countries, the youtuber Liziqi made a video about ancient chinese makeup - they were all natural; the red was made from rose petals and bee wax which can be used both as a blush and as a lip gloss/tint and the black was made from collecting ash/soot.

CORSETS ARE NOT TORTURE DEVICES! If you actually took time to research them properly you would know this. Tightlacing was at its peak in the late 1800s/early 1800s, but was still very uncommon. Only tightlacing shifted your organs, not a corset in itself. Corsets are actually more comfortable than modern day bras and were used as not only an undergarment, but to support your back. Each undergarment had its purpose. I've seen historical costumers try corsets on for a week, and Bernadette Banner who even wore a back brace for years, which is in its own right a "modern day" corset, and everyone has said they are infinitely more comfortable. The thing with corsets though is they need to be made correctly and for your specific body, if not, of course they weren't comfortable; it would be like wearing the wrong size bra. I urge a channel that is supposed to tell us the "facts" to research more on the topics you include in your videos. I've loved watching your videos, but this error has now made me cautious to believe anything you say.

I think it may have been Spanards who first brought it to Europe but soon this red substance was a must for the Red Stamp crowd. The elite could not get enough of it. It was from Mexico and it became more valuable than gold!! I specifically learned about it after seeing an indigo dye made from leaves. The dyes were used by native people to dye wool for very prized carpets.

I really REALLY need to emphasise what this video says about corsets is completely incorrect UNLESS you are tight lacing, which was a very very rare practice. It was seen as extreme fashion, like how we would see goth fashion. or some of those runways where the outfit looks like an inflatable pool today. Women have been wearing corsets for hundreds of years, but also wore garments like stays, which are different, used in for example the regency era. It is such a common and harmful stereotype for corsetry to be seen as "dangerous" and "unhealthy" when in actual fact, corsets were basically a bra. Obviously we know bras are used to support your breasts so you don't develop back problems etc. The same goes for corsets. Not only did they support the torso, but they became a necessity when skirts eventually got much fuller, adding your crinoline (hoop skirt) the under and over layer of skirts, and when it comes to evening wear, ruffles, bows, lace etc. making the gown a bit heavier than say, the regency dress which only required stays that were not designed to give shape, as they featured an empire waistline. Underneath the corset would be a chemise, aka a shift, to stop the corset from rubbing on you, and because of how good quality these chemises were, they were made of fine cotton after all, would also act as a breathable layer so sweat and bacteria could be separated from the skin, making it quite hygienic. It's also important to point out how you may think what I'm saying it wrong because clearly from the photographs women took during the Victorian era, they all had tiny tiny waists. Surely they tight laced? Still no. Because padding exists. Hip pads, layers from the undergarments you wore, all helped create the illusion of a smaller waist. Also, being pregnant was not at risk when wearing a corset. In fact, pregnancy corsets existed. They were obviously designed to accommodate your belly, with adjustable features when your belly grew. Obviously the myth of corsets making you faint, is very prevalent in our modern media, but just look at photographic evidence of women doing all sorts of activities while wearing a corset, you would never be able to do if you couldn't breathe. Such as: horse riding, dancing, fencing, tennis, hiking, acrobatics, croquet, climbing trees. Not to mention, working class women who were engaging in demanding jobs like in factories, or doing the housework. Also those drawings of disrupted organs is also ridiculous, as we've already established corsets were not tightly laced, and were only laced up to where you needed support. Those are also drawings, anyone could easily make these up. There is also a theory that men (yes ik patriarchy stay with me) created myths about corsetry to lessen the freedom women had with corsets. Seeing as though they were a mainly female industry, it would be in men's interest to present these corsets as the dangerous and unhealthy undergarments we see them as today.

Same here; Weird History and its partner Nutty History, as well as Absolute History, taught me a bunch about the ways of the Victorian era, but that one was a new one on me! I didn't know they did arsenic _baths_ back then... 😳

Soaking in Arsenic is new to me. The Egyptians were first to create cosmetics. They used bugs for eye shadow, khoal, for rimming their eyes. They also used berries for lips and cheek color. They bathed in milk. Chewed on mint leaves for fresh breath.

Omg. I Wanna Sex You Up came on the radio last week, I was traveling (it gets no air time in my town). I couldn't even tell you the last time I heard it. But, I CAN tell you I owned that single on a cassette and my 48 year old self sang EVERY word.

Good lord, whoever is pulling the stock images needs fired. We're bouncing all over history midsentence. The narrator talks about the Victorian era and I've lost count of how many 1920s and 1700s images just pop up. I get trying to be relatable and cutesy, but there's relatable banter and then there's just inaccurate. Only thing weird about this history is the inaccurate videos they churn out.

Heard that. This guys voice is so good and it’s a great concept but the footage chosen is awful and as soon as you listen to a video you’re educated on you realize how poorly researched the vids are.

@0:01 A girl I used to go out with was a fashion student at Stephens College, the second oldest continuous women's college, in Columbia, Missouri. The fashion students (some of which were also my next-door neighbors) were hardcore, and probably thought of fashion all the time. At the end of the year, they would present their fashion designs at the fashion show on campus.

0:37 Since models make so much money and get so much attention, they should present stray cats at special shows and let them walk down the catwalk.
