	History of corsets - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		All corset makers had their own style, but from about 1860, the corset industry of Paris was at the forefront of corset fashion.
		The padded "iron corset" and armour was known as a corset on women, and a waistcoat (vest) on men.
		The straight-front corset (also known as the swan-bill corset and the s-curve corset) was a type of corset worn from the start of the nineteenth century until around 1907. ; Its name is derived from the very rigid, straight busk that was used down the center of the front.

	Corset (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		A corset is a garment worn to mold the torso into a desired shape for aesthetic or orthopaedic purposes (either for the duration of wearing it, or with a more lasting effect).
		The corset fell from fashion in the 1920s in Europe and America, replaced by girdles and elastic brassiere, but survived as an article of costume.
		Some large-breasted women say that they find corsets more comfortable than brassieres, because the weight of the breasts is carried by the whole corset rather than brassiere shoulder straps which may chafe or cut the skin.

		The straight-front corset (also known as the swan-bill corset and the s-curve corset) was a corset type worn from the start of the nineteenth century until around 1907.
		The silhouette given by the straight-front corset is familiar from the Gibson Girl of the period.
		The hourglass corset "suppress[ed] the bust", and the spoon busk, which often curved inwards for part of its length, "forced the organs downwards" claimed Gaches-Sarraute in her 1900 study Le Corset: Etude physiologique and pratique ( The Corset: A Physiological and Practical Study).

	History of the Corset (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The corset represents a fundamental shift in the concept of clothing and tailoring; instead of shaping clothes to the body, as had been done throughout the Middle Ages and Renaissance, the body began to conform to the fashionable shape of the clothing worn.
		In the 16th century, the corset was not meant to draw in the waist and create an hourglass figure; rather, it was designed to mold the torso into a cylindrical shape, and to flatten and raise the bustline.
		During the 16th century, corsets were made out of linen, linen-cotton blends (after 1570), or, in the case of nobility, an outer layer of leather, satin or other silk and inner layers of linen.

		She could not, in any case, have tightened her own corset to this extent, even over a long period; she would have had to be laced into it by other servants, and it may well have taken two of them to draw her corset as tight as this.
		As a corset is tightened, the backbone, of course, remains the same length, whereas the stomach at the waist is forced inwards into a concave shape, thus tending to shorten the length of the body in front.

		Most important to me were the corset pattern (page 138), the two drawings of corset busks (page 134), the illustration of the busk in its pocket (page 137) and, a discussion of period decoration.
		I've made corsets before so this was not that difficult but, because there are bones running horizontally and vertically in the front and there needed to be a pocket for the busk, it was a challenge.
		Before I could sew the skirt to the bodice, the bodice waist line was finished by sewing the lining to the outer fabric along the waistline after the raw edges were turned up 1/2".

	A New Method For Saving Large Beached Whales
		It is important that the corset does not slip rearward (or later forward) due to the upcoming pulling force, because that could concentrate the pulling force on the forward edge of the tail flukes which might cause injury.
		If a second (parallel, opposite) corset joining pin were made of a material that would slowly dissolve in a day or two in seawater, the corset would eventually fall away out in the ocean, and the whale would be totally free.
		Maybe, once the corset is on the whale and a belly pad (or its substitute) is lying on the beach behind the whale, a group of strong volunteers could attempt to pull the whale the 20 feet rearward onto the belly pad.

		In short, if Venetian women did wear corsets (or separate boned bodices), then they would have to have worn their camicie OVER their corsets, which just doesn't make sense.
		I sort of solved this by using two laces, and ending the first one where the corset started to go around the sides and front, but I could tell it was just going to be a pain in the butt.
		So I'm starting with the pattern I made for my slightly curved front German corset -- the main difference will be using spring steel bones in the front rather than spiral, which is what gave me that bust curve.
