COMMENTING CAUSE I NEED MORE RECS TOO

SAME HELP

I get similar vibes from The Best Smell. Similar art style and very fluffy!

as for me i can't even swim

Thinking that a corset have 3 or 4 layers of fabric and the boning can be made of reed, whaleboning or steel.. Yeap it's pretty heavy (⌒▽⌒)
And it probably have a chemise under the corset as well.

I already find it hard to breathe with mine corset when climbing the stairs. I think it would be impossible to swim....

I actually watched a documentary that have a small section regarding drowning in even smaller forms of water easier because of 1- cold impact making the body gasp 2- clothing getting heavier thanks to the water absorbency 3- both factors making it harder to do anything 4- as a bonus thing would a nobel woman even know how to swim? Press x to doubt.
Outside of that corsets where used from all lvls of society so even working class women wore them. Tightlacing was very very rare. Fainting from corsetry..rare. there where even corsets to use during pregnancy. Chest and hip and even butt padding where used to excentuate a smaller waist so please don't think corset= you can't breath!

Sorry for the rant I just....really dislike the stigma that majority of people have against corsets and stays.
But yes she wouldn't be able to swim people are idiots. Honestly even a well trained knight would have a hard time dragging her upwards with the weight...why do you think johnny depp ripped off the dress when saving her in pirates of the caribbean ? Although it was right after a shitty corset then fainting scene..

I didn't mentioned the paddings because I have forgot about it lolol
But yeah, you are right. We can add even more fabrics to it (￣∇￣")

I think people are so against corsets because it was really misused at some time in the past..

People always asks if I can breathe when I'm wearing one, and it's not like I closed too much . I can even put a finger in between the corset and my body ╮(￣▽￣)╭

Another funny thing that I hear frequently like it's a bad thing (and I listened it at work about two weeks ago when I mentioned about reproduction of historical clothes) is 'corsets rearranges the position of organs and bla bla bla'. But isn't pregnancy the same thing in a different way..?? And I can't really grasp why one is acceptable and other not.

They always rebut that is different because one is a natural thing (wtf??!!!).
Like hell that something growing up inside of me is more normal than wearing some piece of fabrics!! ┑(￣Д ￣)┍

And in the end I think that I mentioned an irrelevant issue (▰˘◡˘▰)

Wow, I actually didn’t know those things about corsets!

Lol even with a corset tightened on me I can breathe just fine. I even had to sing and dance with a corset and a dress on for a musical and I was completely fine.

It’s kind of funny how some people think that corsets squeeze the air out if you. Lmao they don’t really, depends on how tight you put them on. (That goes for how “they rearrange the organs in your body. If you just put it on not super tight like how they make it out to be in entertainment, then it’s just like putting a large belt on your body. There’s no difference. If you put it on super tight then yeah it would probably change your body.)

And honestly after wearing a corset for a musical, I think I’d want to wear it again. It’s fun!

Lol honestly as long as it’s related to corsets I don’t think it’s irrelevant ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~

I didn't meant to say that my opinion about corset was irrelevant but the part about pregnancy lol

My corset was specifically tailored to reduce waistline. This one is not appropriate for physical activities or sing because it's made with stainless steel stalks appropriate for orthopedic use and I need to use it a little tighter (but not too much!! This is something to do progressively).

But I take all the necessary care. Do exercises frequently (without the corset)to keep my muscles working properly. Went to the doctor to see if I had any kind of problems that would not do well with using a corset.. Well, cares that people didn't have in the past. ╮(￣▽￣)╭

And now, out of curiosity I'm sewing a stay inspired in the 1680's. (≧∀≦)
So this one is only to it gives some support to the posture and bust but doesn't give pressure in the waist.

Ah good luck in making your stays!!!
I have debated for years about making or getting a custom stay/corset done for me because modern bras hurt everything too much for me. Shoulders. Ribs. Muscles. Ect. Pitty the gal who has to live braless with dds. Exercise is a dream for me unless I wanna deal with pain while doing so. Lol.

I think the main part is completed, we'll just have to wait for the side stories.

The other manhwa's that I've read before, also did it like this. they would mark it complete and then follow up with the side stories.

HAMINA HAMINA HAMINAAAA I JUST SAW THIS ON REDDIT OMGG I CANT WAIT
