	Corsets and Tight Lacing
		On first reading an 1867 article against tight lacing, a modern reader might think that the publication was unusually progressive.
		By 1867 physicians knew of the debilitating effect of diet on a child's health, but the author of "The Lady's Friend" article chose to blame a woman and her supposed vanity if the children were "poor and puny".
		To add the "blame" of producing "crippled and deformed" children to tight lacing was not only also inaccurate, but cruel and helped to delay research by suggesting that the "solution" was already found.

	Comments and Questions
		The maximum tightness was primarily limited by the sturdiness of the corset construction, but the advent of the sewing machine and use of steel stays and busks, allowed corsets to become better fitting and stronger, improving shaping ability and comfort.
		For extreme lacing, a lacing bar can be used, which is a horizontal bar suspended from the ceiling like a trapeze bar to which the trainee pulls herself up while being laced by a helper.
		Repeat the "lace and pause" every five to ten minutes, during each pause wriggle around in the corset to settle it, and pull out the wrinkles from the undershirt or undergarment that is under the corset, lift your arms above your head and rotate and stretch your upper body inside the corset.

	Thestockingstore: Sizing Information
		A lace is threaded through the eyelets on two opposing sides, and then criss-crossed and laced into the opposite side, repeating this process until the end is reached and a bow is tied in the lace.
		One lace starts at the top of the corset and is laced down to the waistline where it is tied.
		The second lace starts at the bottom and is laced up to the waistline where it is also tied.

		The shoe is laced until the lace ends emerge from the second set of eyelets from the top.
		Whilst Criss Cross Lacing is shown in these examples, and is the probably the most common method used, the shoe can be laced with almost any lacing method.
		Lock Lacing also creates more friction, which should help prevent the knot coming loose, especially if you have slippery synthetic laces or are unknowingly using a Granny Knot.

		"Fan lacing by my company may be ordered in two ways: first, the client may choose one set or pair of laces that form a fan, each side with 12 individual lacing cords or laces leading into one fan or belt "pull" of 9 inches in length.
		Thus, the capability of the joined laces is just not the same as the capability of an individual criss-crossed cord to pull snug.
		The fan laces permitted just that as he did not have to reach around his back and struggle.

	Tightlacing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tightlacing (also called corset training and waist training) is the practice of wearing a tightly-laced corset to achieve extreme modifications to the figure and posture and experience the sensations of a very tight corset.
		Lacing too tight too fast can cause extreme discomfort and potential short-term problems such as shortness of breath and faintness, indigestion, and chafing of the skin.
		It is also possible that tightlacing exacerbates the tendency of some livers to develop accessory lobes, to the point where the accessory lobe becomes as large as the main portion of the liver.

		Tight Lacing is a subject that was prevalent in Victorian through to Edwardian times to an extent that became extinct after the World War I. Vestiges of tight lacing continued on stage, in some elderly women and in the darker areas of corsetry, however, never again would it be a mainstream fashion.
		Of course, tight girdles attempt to perform the same task, however, nothing could ever be quite so successful as these corsets.
		Side-lacing, or well-offset lacing is not uncommon, particularly in Latin America and Spain, but this is something different, and I have no explanation for it.

		Grace quickly tied off the laces and Anne struggled back to her feet and they both helped Beatrice back to her feet, where they knew she would find breathing easier, the tight packed bones of the evening corset creaked heavily as she was aided from the horizontal to the vertical.

	Methods of Corset Lacing
		The problem with shoe lacing is that the cords pass between the two sides of the corset as they go from top to bottom, which means the corset can’t be tightened until the sides close.
		Both kinds of lacing are done with one cord tied off to the top or bottom of the corset, then laced to the other end, where the cord is tied to itself or tied off against a short tie sewn to that end of the corset.
		Overlap lacing and double overlap lacing allows the wearer to tighten the corset until one side is on top of the other.

	Mary Sheldon, "Tight Lacing," 7 June 1842
