Worldbuilding: Should your Fantasy Race Wear Corsets? An Intro to Corsetry.

I've had a lot of comments along the lines of "I'm a dude, I don't know anything about clothes, but this is interesting." So in tribute to you, here is a topic that most guys know very little about... bust support. I am a costuming amateur enthusiast, but not a historian. So though I'm doing my best to research and get the history right, I have an imperfect understanding and probably mixed up some terminology or something. This is why, like the Textile Tidbits, this video is primarily meant to inspire world builders, writers, and artists in their own creative pursuits, not something to reference for academic purposes.
