Corsets and breast health

[Guest guest]

This thread is very interesting to me because of two things.

Some time ago I experienced chest pains and after thinking about it

for a week or so, took off my new bras, went without for a few days and

the pains left.

Bad fit and had I gone to an allopathic doc for this you can only

imagine the tests I would have gone thru.

The other reason this interests me is because I own a shop at a

Reniassance Faire and wear gowns with a bodice which is much like a

boned corset. They must be made and fitted just as carefully as todays

bras. Personally, I would prefer to wear a bodice as the lacings allow

you to tighten or loosen and the breast tissue is supported from below

rather than the shoulders.

In this time frame you did indeed " lace up " in the morning and wear it

all day. They were not made for periods of sitting but if you do sit

one does sit up straight.

LOL the boning does not allow slouching.

No bad posture during the Renaissance, eh? Another good reason for Bodices

for every (female) body so they can stand straight and tall while they are

burning their bras.

 

Roxanne, I take it your bad experience was with so-called " well-fitted " bras

( " They must be made and fitted just as carefully as today's bras " ). Where

does a woman go to get fitted with a natural material bodice that is

designed to provide a non lymphatic-flow-restricting " support shelf " for her

breasts that will allow her rib cage to expand and contract freely?

William asked where does one go to get a corset of natural marterial

that allows one to breathe.....

William this is a relatively simple thing to do. Almost any good

costumer or person that makes wedding dresses can make them and if you

are inclined toward sewing, you can make them yourself.

The best pattern is obtained by the woman wearing an old T-shirt, wrap

her in duct tape over the breasts, under the arms and continue to the

waist while not pulling the tape overly tight. This will afford you

with an exact pattern of her body. Cut it apart in the areas of a

commercial pattern and allow for seam allowances.

Should you not wish to do this, Simplicity has patterns in the costume

part of their pattern books.

The boning is obtained at better fabric stores and simple unbleached

muslin is a good fabric to use.

The grommets should not be the small ones from the fabric store but

the larger ones used for tarps. They are much stronger and can be found

at farm and hardware stores.

I hope this was the information you were looking for.
