Hi Mary,
It definately shows, how odd. I think not they have boned the stays, at
least not in the front. You can also see the fabric is wrinking on the
stomacher point. Perhaps they think they wore stays without bones?

I found this image on IMDB:

Not the best photo, but you can definitely see her corset (and her thru
it!!)

I feel compelled to comment here. I saw Casanova last Sunday and for the
most part the costumes are lovely. Not perfect, but quite good. With one
rather glaring exception. This could be considered a spoiler, so I'll skip
some space

At the climactic scene of the movie, Francesca is wearing her shift,
petticoat and a corset. But it is the weirdest corset I've ever seen! The
style and cut was correct, but you could see both or her breasts clearly
outlined in the cloth, right down to her nipples! And detailed enough to
tell that her right breast is lower than her left. I can't figure out why
it looks like that, or even how they achieved that look. I suppose if you
left out all the boning you might get that, but still, with at least two
layers of coutil (or some other sturdy fabric) you shouldn't be able to
see
her breasts like that. Granted, earlier in the film the character has a
comment about how hideous corsets are, so if that's the point they're
trying to underline, why have her in a corset at all?
I'm stumped, and it really yanked me out of the movie at that point. I'm
curious to hear anyone elses comments after they've seen it.
