Why do Actresses Complain about Corsets? (and why we should believe them)
I’m not asking anyone to stop promoting corsets (as a corset maker that would be an absurd thing to do), I just wanted to explain why an actress’s experience of wearing a corset might be different from yours. This doesn’t mean that corsets are evil, or that they should be painful, I just believe that the situation where you’re wearing one can have a big impact on comfort. (And if we could all stop assuming that professional costume makers don’t know what they’re doing that would be great)
***Every film production is different. These are not definitive facts, these are my opinions based on my experiences.***

Some further points that didn’t make the video:
“Working women always wore corsets and they had long days too” – Yes. But they were also used to corsets, instead of jumping straight from leggings to wearing a corset full time. Corsets do also get more comfortable over time (just like bras!), and a brand new corset is never going to feel as comfy cozy as one you’ve been wearing regularly for years.
“But they’re misinforming the public and giving corsets a bad name” – Yes. It’s a weird world we live in where your word is taken as absolute truth as soon as you have a following. But I still think actresses are allowed to have their own opinions based on their personal experiences, and that there’s a way to educate people on corsets without implying that actresses are making up their experiences.

Sewing content will resume soon! I’m doing a deep clean of my sewing space at the moment because we had to have our heating replaced and the furniture doesn’t fit in its usual setup anymore. Yay. (And yes there will be a video because I can’t be the only one who’s nosy about seeing other people’s setup)
