A thought on research

Most the books I have looked at so far about corsets describe beautiful and interesting corsets, this being; the extreme and constricting corset.  These can only have been for ladies who didn’t have to move anyway; not work. This has been the few at the top of society and not `most women`

If a woman should be able to put on the corset herself, which the front opening is there for, there is a natural limit to how tight she can lace the corset beforehand and if she is doing any labor there must also have been a limit to the number of bones in the corset.

Within the upper class there must also have been women who opposed to the extreme constriction of the body in the name of fashion and recognition. I only assume this from the thought that not all women today who can afford botox, breast implants and fat suctions under throws them self these comprehensive beauty treatments.  Including women who lives in the branch of society where facelifts and `boob jobs` are common.

It could be interesting to research common corsets.
