I am not sure exactly what problems you have with corsets, but they are undoubtedly based on modern myths that were invented after corsets fell out of fashion.

I am not sure exactly what problems you have with corsets, but they are undoubtedly based on modern myths that were invented after corsets fell out of fashion. Corsets themselves (and stays and bodices and other shapewear) are actually very comfortable and beneficial for a woman to wear. Just ask the likes of Jill Bearup or Bernadette Banner. Historical costumers really bristle at the lousy attitude of Hollywood actresses who whine and complain about "painful corsets" because their stylists (and producers) didn't know the first thing about the garments and historical periods they were charged with representing.
