  2. I'd just like to point out that the term corset wasn't used before 1800's, the term was "stays". In the middle ages around the 16oo's it was more commonly called a "pair of bodies". It wasn't until the 1900's that tight lacing to get the smallest waist possible started become popular. Even then it was usually done by a select few. One of the misconceptions about corset and stay wearing it that it's used to compress the waist. That's not really the case in the middle ages and into the 18th and early 19th century. Most of the time its an illusion big skirts(hips) make the waist look tinnier.
