Victorian Clothing: The Corset
The Corset was a device that was used mainly to shape ones torso into a desired shape. Both men and women have historically used torsets for both medical and fashion reasons, women are more known to be the ones wearing these contraptions. Although true corsets are not used commonly in the modern era many fashion trends have been based off it's design. A true Corset could not simply be bought in the store for the most part as corsets were primarily custom fitted by a corsetmaker. Despite their lack of use in modern times, you will see them references all the time in anything from Elmer Fudd in looney toons cartoons to modern fetish videos.
