I could be wrong, but I get the impression that the ordinary working woman, who probably made her own stays (as in the second photo), continued to call the garment 'stays'. I've never heard of a home-made corset.<br /><br />It's an interesting point.

I'm happy that you enjoyed it.

Underwear, particularly for women, always seems to have a political dimension, too. One might argue that it's also about social control. It's surely much more difficult to demonstrate for the vote, say, or chain yourself to the railings, if your corsets make free movement almost impossible!Elizabeth Hawksleyhttp://www.elizabethhawksley.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955239.post-91117491540714516902016-05-03T12:51:48.167+01:002016-05-03T12:51:48.167+01:00Thank you for your comments, Elizabeth.

The thing that struck me, particularly re: Regency women's corsets, was how uncomfortable they must have been - those wooden busks look most forbidding and I'm sure I'd be worried about the whalebone sticking into me.Elizabeth Hawksleyhttp://www.elizabethhawksley.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955239.post-54650514903701462212016-05-03T11:20:55.406+01:002016-05-03T11:20:55.406+01:00Thanks - underwear is always fascinating.
