In either "the 3 Musketeers" or "The 4 Musketeers", (I forget which

ones with Fay Dunaway and Michael York, there is a scene where Faye is

it's
a start.

It's a great scene...with the Duke of Buckingham undressing her. He takes
the busk out of its casing and throws it over his shoulder. I think
there's
another scene with her inserting the busk into the corset somewhere too. I
think
the corset is a bit whimsical though.
This corset reminds me of pictures I've seen of an iron corset from
somewhere in the Elizabethan (I think) period. I think I remember reading
somewhere that it was thought to be an orthopedic device of some sort.
Anyway, while the busk is probably correct, and the bum roll most certainly
is, I'm not really sure about that corset. I think it would look a bit
different.
