IS WEARING A CORSET REALLY HURT FEAML BODY?
POSTED BY PERFECTCORSET ON FEBRUARY
The historical origin of the female corset
Fashion history reveals the first recorded corset originated from Crete in Greece, worn by the Minoan people. Images on ancient pottery show both women and men sporting form fitting belts and vests with leather rings or straps that constrict and shape the waist. Culturally, this showed a women’s ideal shape, accentuating the beauty of her curves and often exposing bare breasts. Both Minoan men and women wanted a small waist. As children, both genders wore a girdle around their waists that was tightened as they grew in order to stop growth in the waist area. Grecian women wore an elaborate, stiff girdle called a zona on the outside of their garments to shape the waist and lift support the breasts.
Popular styles currently on the market
In todays society, corsets are usually reserved for costume, stage performance or waist training, yet some still purchase them for the uses that they were designed for hundreds of years ago. Stars such as Beyonce, Shikara and Lady Gaga wear corsets for their on-stage productions to add drama and femininity to their act. High fashion designers such as Jean Paul Gaultier and Alexander use corsets in their collections. Corsets are seen in stage plays, operas etc. Among many celebrities, reality star Kim Kardashion uses a waist trainer to achieve a small waist. With the comfort of normal underwear, and a wider acceptance of all body types, wearing corsets to achieve one particular body shape is not as important to modern day women as it was to women centuries before, and for that, I'm thankful.
Problems with popular styles
In 1905 a French Doctor published a book on the effects of corsets on female health. Of course medicine and methods have come on a long way over the last 100+ years, but at the time it was reported that using a brand new technology - X-rays - that corsets changed the shape of the ribs and caused damage. Not only that, he also stated that corsets affected a woman’s behaviour too.
Because the current corsets are usually made of heavy-duty materials, after a day of use, the weight will cause damage to the waist, and in severe cases, it will lead to difficulty in breathing, which directly leads to physical discomfort and violates the principle of comfortable wearing.
