When I used to do live-action roleplaying, I was always trying to
convince the boys that I should get a point of armor for my steel-boned corset.
And I've been known to refer to a steel-boned corset as my "brigantine". :-)
There's a Charles Adams cartoon from like the 1930s or 40s, showing a
matron in a corset shop, wearing a hat, slip, stockings, shoes, and a
corset made up of geometric shaped pieces of something. The sales lady is
telling her "This one has the advantage of being bulletproof".
