I'm thinking maybe not tie the corsets so snugly. They are actually very
comfortable to wear. Or look into corded stays rather than boned stays

I'm thinking about Victorian fashion here. Are there any pictures of women
sitting down playing music? I've seen women corsetted when standing up

I agree with the comment about having the musicians take a breath while

Hi Aylwen,
