Any UK list members see Jeremy Paxman's series on the Victorians last night? He spoke to a lady who collected Victorian ladies' costume, and much was made of the discomfort/restriction of wearing a corset. She then appeared in Victorian underwear and got Jeremy to lace up her corset, supposedly to show how a lady couldn't dress herself; however, in close-up you could clearly see the hooks in the front that should have enabled her to do so!
