Yes. I think sometimes people expect foundation garments alone to give
a period posture. They don't.

This can be really important. You can dress someone up to the nines and if
they slouch....or don't slouch, whichever the period requires, it won't be
convincing. That erect, hands folded at about waist level stance of the 18th
century just wouldn't fly where the leaning back contraposto pose of the 1920's
and 30's is supposed to be.
