Re: [h-cost] Boning and corsets for musicians

[albertcat]

Greetings...


When corseting opera singers (who some actually like their corsets for the 
"proper posture" it gives them) we would have then take a deep breath before 
the final lacing....and laced them up snug, but not tight, while they held 
their breath. When they do let their breath out, the corset is not as snug as 
it "should" be for a normal activity, but the shape is there and, again, the 
posture. The musicians cannot slouch in their seats but must sit up straight. 
Sitting in a corset has been possible for centuries now... even in a bustle.
