V&A Menswear
On our mini trip to London, the girls and myself visited the V&A for a couple of hours. A couple of hours is no where near enough. But it was enough to little my interest and spark of some ideas and inspiration. Would have easily spent a whole day there if I had time.

18th- 19th Century Corsets
Eighteenth-century corsets were used to raise and shape the
breast, tighten the midriff, support the back. This helped to improve posture with the shoulders down and back. These corsets only
slightly narrow the waist. Well-fitting eighteenth-century corsets were quite comfortable, did not restrict breathing.
During the Regency the corset became the main support of the bust because of the empire line dresses it wasn't needed to hold in the waist. Book:- Support and Seduction: A History of Corsets and Bras by Beatrice Fontanel
