I already have this problem on my existing 1830s corset when I bend over to tie my shoe or cook. **************** Put your shoes on first...then the corset. ...:-P Ok ok, I'm teasing. But remember, many corset wearers, in their period, had a fleet of servants. [There's a wonderful scene in "Little Dorrit" where, after having been in Debtor's Prison, but now out and with a fortune, Mr. Dorrit's coffee is cold. Amy, his daughter born in the prison and only knowing that life, picks up the tray to get more. "No no no!" says Mr. Dorrit, "Call someone! It is highly improper to do the servants work for them and make them feel we can dispense with any of their services at any time." ] Anyway, corsets restrict movement. As for sitting, it shouldn't bother you if you sit up straight. Ladies often just perch on the edge of the chair. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
