Dear every historical costuming nerd in the comment section correcting this. I love you all, love seeing people politely correct misinformation
Same that’s exactly what I thought

hehehee not me looking for something like this
@@prizmarvalschi1319 it was Karolina Żebrowska and her for me
Yup, my corset shifted my organs, suffocated me, broke my ribs then killed my dog, called me a wench and proceeded to burn my house and yell at me.
Lmfao but wench is a compliment tho

the fact that pregnancy shifts more organs that wearing corsets do makes me mad

@@citlaliestrada2567 me too hahahaah

A properly made, historically accurate corset is made to measure, and quite comfortable and supportive. If she couldn't breathe and couldn't sit up straight, that was just a bad corset, and shame on costume designers who put actors in bad corsets.
THIS!!!
Exactly. As a regular viewer of Karolina Żebrowska's videos I'm super annoyed.
yep yep yep came here and was going to comment this but you said it perfectly!
Happy someone said it.
I've never worn a corset, but I have heard that the historically accurate ones are actually comfortable. Not to mention, I've seen photos of women from back when they wore them and the sat up very straight. In fact, they had perfect posture.
I love how Eddie is the only one to raise his hand when she asks if anyone wore a corset before😂
A corset broke into my house and stole all my money and credit cards and then killed me
I once wore a corset, it cut me in half, and I had to be resurrected
Then it went ahead and killed my family but we wasted all the resurrection on me
I once bought a corset, and even before I wore it, it had burnt down my village and went on a murderous rampage. I am still in hiding from that lacey barstard, who still hunts me down to force me to wear it so it can devour my internal organs.
@@lilguyonhiswaytothemall I think something similar happend to my great great grandmother
I bought a corset once , it went on a wild rampage and savagely murdered everyone in my entire village , I only just escaped , but I’m constantly on the move , if I stay in the same place for too long it’ll track me down and kill me , my life is completely ruined 😔
A corset mugged and shot my parents in an alleyway
this is why we need to get rid of corsets, mine tore down the foundation of a building, harvested half of my organs, killed 27 innocent people and started blackmailing my family including my cat
Yeah, those naughty corsets! I hate them
Corsets lives matter!!!not all corset are evil😭😭😭😭😡
I believed you up until the point you claimed it would ever have the nerve to try and blackmail the cat.

Lmao
A well-fitting corset does NOT hurt and in fact a historically accurate corset for that period would be called stays and would be even more comfortable than Victorian corsets. Corsets were the equivalent of bras and helped with back support. Only in certain eras of the Victorian age for certain fashionable women did they become limiting and a danger to one's health. Either Emma Stone is sensationalizing or her costume designer was bad at fitting/wasbeing anachronistic.
Texadon - Andromeda Cripps you also trained you body into a corset, so they might not have had much time to prepare before shooting
Kim Benny Yes, I’ve since learned that often that is the case with historical film actors! Thanks!
History of the corset is at your service.
could the corset hurt because there´s no shift underneath?? is it about that? I´ve heard some people say it´s bad to put corsets on bare skin, is that true?
Mari p Yeah, that’s absolutely true! But in this case, I don’t think she mentions that, and if I remember correctly The Favourite got that right (that is, I’m pretty sure she does wear a shift under her stays in this film). Like, if that was the problem, she’d be mentioning things like chafing, edges/tabs cutting into her body, etc. 🤷🏻♀️
Whenever I see Eddie, I'm reminded of that mean tweet of him looking perpetually dehydrated. LMAO

“I am PARCHED.”
Lmfao😂😂😂😭
@@tushar12345 the tuxedo? isn't that like, more like 2002
Same here
I am very confused. The movie that they are talking about is The Favourite, right? But the movie takes place in the early 1800s. Why is she wearing a corset? Shouldn't she be wearing a stay? Corsets weren't a thing until the mid-1800's. Is it something that decided to just not do or was it too hard to make in the time available?
Actually, it was a century earlier. Queen Anne was born in 1665 and died in 1714. So, yeah, corsets weren't a thing those days
she is wearing stays in the film and they're not even waist reducing. She's not tight-laced at all, in part because it's basically impossible to tight-lace a set of stays, but also her body is the same shape it is in 21st century clothes. She's such a liar.
She is wearing stays, which seems to be where all the confusion is coming from - she doesn’t know the correct term for what she’s wearing. Corsets aren’t uncomfortable but stays can be because they compress the chest, which is where most people are accustomed to breathing. Emma’s not lying about her discomfort and the costumer didn’t mess up her “corset,” because she didn’t make her a corset.
@@Er_iss yeeeeaaaah... I've seen her costumes for this movie in person on a custom made mannequin. She knows exactly what she's saying, we aren't misunderstanding her. She's claiming her internal organs were shifted and it's just physically impossible, both based on the physical realities of how stays are made and also based on what I saw with my own eyes of how her costumes were made. They were not made to fit a significantly reduced body. She's a UK size 8. The waist and chest were proportionate. I guess I thought an Oscar winning actress would be more secure in her actual acting ability to not need to pull some bullshit "See how much I suffered" PR stunt to promote herself for award season, but that's what she did. She's lying.
@@Er_iss I wear those type of stays for my job almost everyday. Yeah it does compress your chest an my chest is significantly larger and i don't have breathing problems. She also probably slouched. Because from personal experiences that is what makes them uncomfy. I just think we should stop having average costume designers make these costumes and use people who actually know what they are doing.
TIGHT-LACING WAS NOT THE STANDARD HISTORICALLY IT WAS ONLY DONE BY VERY FASHIONABLE ARISTOCRACY AT THE END OF THE 1800s (and since Emma's character is I think modern, it's probably pretty accurate for her) BUT CORSETS IN GENERAL WERE VERY HELPFUL AND NECESSARY FOR SUPPORT. Also you could sit normally, and yeah you have to breathe differently but it's just a learning process. The same happens when you start wearing bras, and no one complains about that. You just breathe from your chest with a corset, rather than from your stomach. Both work, you just have to get used to it.
@Sinead Dowling No I didn't. Slightly before the 1900s would be the late 1800s. And it was uncommon, but it was fashionable. Toward the turn of the century and the Edwardian period, people began to have health concerns about tight-lacing and it fell out of favour.
Asterismos It’s so bad to breathe from your chest tho. My asthma made me get used to do that and the doctor always tells me i have to learn to breathe from the belly because the oxygen doesn’t fully enters so you’re basically breathing to half your lungs capacity and not breathing out all there is to breathe out and it’s bad for you.
@@jbkawaiiholic my guess is it's probably bad for _you_ because you have asthma, tight lacing was really only used for big events anyway so you wouldn't be in those kinds of corsets for very long, it is possible to breathe like that for a bit and be alright afterwards
@@jbkawaiiholic I imagine if you have a breathing problem like asthma, it's important to breathe from your tummy, for sure. It is true you do have to breath differently/more frequently and shallowly when you breathe from your chest. In general though, people were just fine and if necessary they'd loosen the corset when needed like for exercise or while pregnant, or wear them looser all the time for permanent issues.
@@jbkawaiiholic Opera singers sing wearing corsets, and Opera is so highly dependent on good ability to breath. You work out new ways of breathing while wearing a corset, as long as you've broken it in and are wearing it correctly. Not saying a corset would in anyway help with asthma, but breathing extremely well is definitely possible in a corset.
Fun fact, woman created, designed, and sewed corsets.
Yes, and they new exacly what they were doing. Women were not stupid.
And were expected by men to wear them in certain places, eg. The regulations in the French court meant women were forced to wear them.
Wow! I didn't know that, thank you.
@@sosborne9060 they were basically underwear, and one court ruling doesn't stand for everyone else during the rise of stays and corsetry wearing times, the french were a fan of the tight lacing method which wasn't popular by any means when it came to people outside of those social circles and it was really only used when you went to events, otherwise women would just wear corsets as they always have
speed? jewish. So? That’s one example, women were still expected by men to wear them. Obviously it didn’t become really dangerous until tight lacing, but women grew up wearing them, so it would have been uncomfortable for actors who haven’t been given the time to get used to corsets.
Mainstream: "Corset?? It's the Devil!"
Me: Okay industry that promotes inaccurate representation of historical dress.
I hate how the myth of corsetry is still around. Playing to comedy aside, she was obviously tight-laced into the corset, or is just unused to the support that it provides (as we all are unless we have worn them our entire lives). A well-fitted corset should not hurt, and you really shouldn't lace down tighter than a 2" waist reduction (like Spanx). I've been wearing corsets as a docent and reenactor for almost two decades, and am able to sit, run, dance, help with laundry, fetch water, pitch tents, and lug cast iron pots around. Corsets were not the enemy of historical women, heavy petticoats and layers were. Take away the layers, and you don't need a device to support them. That's what a corset does. It provides bust and back support while spreading the 5-15 pounds of clothing evenly. As an aside, I've taken a class with Luca! He's so great, and is doing some amazing research that is creating better corsets in the costuming field.
@Sinead DowlingYou're totally right, and it always pulls me up short when the terms stays and corsets are conflated 😁
@Sinead Dowling I know, they're definitely stays for that era, but I don't mind people calling them corsets (I mean stays are just early corsets) nearly as much as all the "uncomfortable deadly corset!" sensationalism.
Spot on plus I love your Gibson girl pfp
ikr
I wore shapewear with plastic boning and felt like a stiff board and if I tried to bend my midsection, I would risk bending the boning
what Emma is saying about the corsets ... that was a not-properly fitted corset. I mean, yikes. That's not what a corset is supposed to do ^^
I wear a corset for 3 months out of the year for a Renaissance Faire and It’s 4 million times better than wearing a bra just a pain to lace. I bend over, I sit, I even climb rock walls between buildings to get to each of my booths. Eating tho.... eating was sparse. 😂 the less you eat and drink the less you need to go to the bathroom. Which is the real pain
Did you use a “chamber” pot?
@@ber1779 lol no they have bathrooms but you have to gather a ton of skirt to make sure it doesn’t go in. And you have to be part contortionist to wipe 😆 or take it off and put it back on in a stall that you barely fit in so it’s easier to just not go for 10 hours.
sis i wear a corset when i was a 12 year old and im still alive if the corset really hurts you is not a good corset literally you can do normal things with it even victorian corsets where used by the poor class that worked on farms and they need mobility.
corsets were never meant to hurt the wearer unless they didn't wore it correctly also people are so melodramatic, like I wear them on a daily basis and not because I need small waist
I already posted about corset myths but I'm really glad to see how many people are here dispelling corset myths before me! Y'all rock!
Everyone's talking about the inaccuracy of corsets being uncomfortable, and I'm just sitting here wondering why a costume made for a period drama set in the early 1700s used corsets and not stays......
God those corsets are probably made so badly.
I'm seriously wondering if they even made them or if most directors/people who decide these things (I'm going to be kind and assume more costume departments want to aim for high accuracy etc) just say "no one is going to see this corset let's just get a cheap one off the rack". And I also wonder how many corsets/stays that do end up visible on screen are just from a costume warehouse and how many actually fit the actor wearing them.
They’re probably also worn the wrong way without a chemise.
Historian here. I agree that if there were that many issues with her corset the problem was with the fit and construction of the corset - corsets were support garments. Precursors to our modern bras and spanx. They were shapewear, not meant to change the shape of your actual body, but to create the correct sillhouette. Other than a very small number of cases where we found evidence of tightlacing, we don’t see bodies with deformities caused by normal corset wearing.
What do you mean by "correct silhouette"? Please explain.
@@tejaswinimanoj1210 I think that was about back support. Correct posture.
I am so happy for comments where you can see people are well informed about history and historically accurate garments and undergarments. Corsets are not synonymous with pain, organ shifting and lack of breath through fashion history and it brings me joy to see people knowing that.
I've been wearing corsets for over ten years (got my first one at 18, and I'm 30 now), and concur with the other people who've said, if you can't breathe or it's causing you pain, it's not fitted properly. I can wear mine all day, eat small meals, carry my son around, and be just fine. It does go down over my hips though, so I do have to do the lean-sit thing lol
Yup agree..plain poor tailoring i guess..
Proper corsets are actually pretty comfortable
All this BS going around about corsets is actually demeaning to women in that period- like they would just be dumb enough to go around in something they literally couldn't breathe in 🙄
@Cs, FaintlyFashionableArtist
4. They weren't wearing shifts of chemises which is the 2nd reason why they hurt.

Corsets aren't bad - as long as they're made to fit one's body. I wear one a lot and it's fine. Like, totally fine.
They weren't meant to fit the body. The body was meant to fit the corset.
@@queenofnevers6990 Nope. Next time please please please do some research before you post inaccuracies.
@@queenofnevers6990 honestly this is a lot more accurate thing to say about modern clothing which have standardized clothing sizes and don't care about an individuals measurements, rather than tailor made corsets that were made to fit the measurements of the person.
@@queenofnevers6990 isn't true
@@queenofnevers6990 That is literally modern clothing. Back then, the clothing was tailored specifically for you to fit you perfectly. Now, we have generic sized clothing made out of plastic by some exploited worker.

They don’t know what the heck they’re talking about 😭 I’m 13 and I wear a corset everyday in school and at home, it’s sad how an off the rack corset fit me and a fully made custom corset made by a professional designer didn’t fit her sad sad life corset myths annoy the shit out of me
I was told that you weren't supposed to start corseting that young because of the whole messing up your ribs thing that happens when you start corseting too young. And I hope you're doing some sort of back and torso workout because those parts can get weakened because they don't have to hold you up/straight.
benjamin ozoemena I’ve done my research etc and I know what I’m doing, I use it more to support my back tho I don’t tight lace ✌🏻
@@benjaminozoemena3324 I wore corsets as a growing young girl and now. that is also a myth because when you actually start wearing corsets in order to get the right posture we all should actually have is a ab work out itself. But growing up in a corset never hurt me and i started at 10 so.....
Damn, Emma Stone really suits that suit look. Reminds me of the black one she wore when promoting LaLaLand.
*Bernadette Banner having a mental breakdown after hearing Emma Stone infamous phrase: "UmM mY oRgAnS ShIfTeD"*
Corsets are made to fit and are not uncomfortable. These are some badly made corsets!
If your corset is causing you breathing problems and shifting organs, then it is ill-fitted and you should get a better fit one. When properly fitted, then it actually improves your posture (As another corset wearer said below) and should not inhibit breathing or mobility except for poor posture and minor bending.
I just wear a "faja" for that.
@zephyra thank you!
It's not that any of us really wants to go back to corsets, it's just that some of us are tired of people basing their opinions on the health and safety of a garment on
1. the pain experienced by actresses when wearing the one shoved at them by ignorant or uncaring costumers because 'it's close enough to the right size',
and 2. the dire medical declarations of doctors from a time and place that believed that washing their hands had absolutely no impact on patient survival rates in surgery, and also had absolutely no evidence to back up their claims or even the technology to acquire said evidence.
I guess the modern ones, but not the historically accurate ones

Anyone who has ever been in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy should know how it feels to have your organs shift to make room for the baby. Not comfortable at all.
Adding this to a list of why I am never having kids.
@@Serenity113 me too
I can vouch that the last week of pregnancy was hell for my organs 😂😂
Meh it's not that big of a deal
Yeah, but properly made and properly worn corsets would NEVER do that
I like that the implication is that women just didn't breathe for like 200 years 😂
I bought a cheap mass-manufactured corset off amazon which wasn't the right shape or size for me, I'd never worn one before, I laced it fairly snugly, I have asthma, wore it for a hour or so a day (I was breaking it in) and was totally fine... I could sit just fine... in fact I am bad about slouching and I really liked that it makes you sit up straight. So anyway, it's total BS. You really can't even make the excuse of badly made or ill fitted corsets making you not function or breathe... it's just drama and misinformation.
Yep, me too, with the mass produced, bought off Ebay style corset. I didn't lace myself to within an inch of my life, but first few times I wore it yeah I was laced in fairly snugly & whilst it wasn't the most comfortable thing I've ever worn (we're talking modern corsetry here of course) I could still move & breathe in it, not to mention the relief from chronic back pain it gave. I had no problem wearing a modern, mass produced corset for several hours at a time, without fainting, having my organs shift, or like dying (RIP not me). The corset no longer fits me, unfortunately, and I am now saving up to have a custom made 1890s period accurate corset made in its place. I miss wearing a corset, my posture when I was wearing one was amazing and did I mention the pain relief aspect? So looking forward to getting back into one asap. :)
“I’m not a doctor, I’m an actor!”

I wear corsets a lot, and I love them, worn properly they do not damage you, they can actually improve your posture, as for sitting in them, it's all about training.

how could you resist what a cute lil bean
the fact that most movies literally show that corsets were some torture device makes crack up because they were extremely comfortable if they were the right size, there were even sporting corsets which allowed women to do chores and work without "shifting thier organs", its the historical inaccuracy for me Xd
I thank the madams and every woman responsible for creating corsets. It helps my spine, posture and my breathing, learn how to tighten it and get one that’s made for your body
It makes me happy that she at least was smiling while talking about it
Cuz like, making a fuss about organs shifting just to cause drama makes very little sense as the same thing happens with stuff like pregnancy and then everything shifts back to normal afterwards but she seemed pretty chill with it all
i just love the mix of people existing there 😂
I used to do a lot of background work on period films, and I'd always breath out as far as I could when they were tying the corset. A lot of people make the mistake of doing the exact opposite haha, I was always very comfortable and I found the proper underwear corsets on set to be a lot nicer than 'fashion' ones you buy nowadays.
i literally wrote an eight page essay on misconceptions of corsetry and it’s this kind of stuff that made me rAge on for that long
yeah its historically accurate not to be able to breath
if the corset was historically accurate it would have been comfortable.
Oh my god this is so wrong that I don't even know what to write. Let's just say this is hilarious in some ways and sad in others. I wore corsets a lot in the past (not anymore because they were ruined by my cat :( ) and corsets don't do that. Like they don't. If Miss Stone's organs are shifted it's more accurate to say: „My corset was not my size AND it didn't work properly like it should. Because normal corsets don't shift your organs.” The same goes to Emma Watson. She looked like a teenage girl going to prom in Beauty and the Beast.
Corsets are weird. Remember the Cinderella waistline controversy from 3 years ago? Why make these actresses wear corsets?
Back then, not in Hollywood. But the old days... Queens and people like that wore corsets.
If it's a historical film, that's one thing--and remember that not all women of these periods wore fashions to such extremes as rich/aristocratic women did...the woman who was cleaning and cooking and emptying chamber pots would wear things loose enough to bend when she had to!
But when it's a fantasy world like Cinderella or Game of Thrones, it's just...not necessary. There's no history to be faithful to.
I watch this youtube channel that goes through the fashions of history and the lady who does it says. A well fitted corset os not restrictive, uncomfortable etc but supportive. Tight lacing which is the cause of all the problems. So if she couldn't sit eat or breath then they did it wrong.
Era accuracy???
OtherPens True, But Hollywood’s never historically accurate anyways. If they were, every Elizabethan/Antoinette era woman in every film would have a face full of clown white face paint.
Corsets are AMAZING. Unless she was wearing the obscene tight-laced style, a corsetting style that was rarely actually done AND ridiculed for being vane and dangerous during the Victorian era, she couldn't have been dealing with all that. Obviously a corset can take some adjustment to get used to, but they really aren't the tourcher devices that so many people make them out to be. They honestly do a better job for supporting the bust than modern bras do. Technically I have more experience personally with something closer to pre-corset stays, and I find those far more comfortable than modern bras - I'm a 34DDD (American) with a 10-12 (American) dress size. It is extremely difficult to keep a healthy posture in bras rather than stays and corsets with my size. If it wasn't so expensive, I'd probably switch to corsets for daily use. Corsets are literally just bras, why is that information seemingly lost in Hollywood?
Historically, corsets weren't popular in the 16th century they wore A PAIR OF BODIES not corsets it wasn't until the 1840s when corsets were worn in an everyday basis. Corsets was introduced by Catherine de Medici, Queen of France in the 16th century and by that time were called "iron corsets" and if you reserched that, they did not looked like that so I don't understand why Eddie Redmayne said "they really looked like they were made in the 16th century" because it doesn't give that kind of sillouette they were at that time so so different from your typical Victorian/Edwardian corsets. Also, CORSETS DO NOT RESTRICT YOUR WAIST look I don't blame actresses because they weren't necessarily taught in schools it should be the designers who should take the blame because they didn't took actual historic reference and instead made them in a vulgarly streotypical manner. Look, I'm 12 years old and I know how incredibly easy it is to find reliable historical articles online about corset and other history-related information so I don't understand why didn't they took these pieces of information and recreate it so the actresses didn't have to suffer on having to endure pain on wearing poorly made corsets, because if your job is a designer and your ambitions is to be a succesful and extremely talented designer then you should have studied the actual form of the historically accurate design and work on your creativity and come up with breathtaking designs and embellishments to those dresses you will create/design. Acquire these pieces of knowledge and I know it will the root of your success because this generation is drawn to fashion. Look at corsets as bras, because they were old-fashioned bras. Would you buy a bra that is too tight or loose for you? Of course not! The same applies to corsets, women don't buy corsets that is too tight for them and they will buy corsets that fit them. So that is why "women existed in that for such a long time" because they are humans and they have knowledge and common sense. People, study historical accuracy if the designer makes "historically accurate" dresses she make would not make those horrendous corsets.
P.S Viola (the instrument Eddie Redmayne is talking about) is pronouced: VEE-oh-la not V-AY-oh-la. Sorry, just pointing it out. Also, if artist study the history of art as part of their way to completly understand their field and musicians study the history of music because of course have you ever met an artist who doesn't know who Van Gogh is and a musician who doesn't know who Mozart is then shouldn't fashion designers study the history of fashion to understand their field? Sorry, I am still bitter about corset stereotypes.
Bravo. Stay sharp, stay fierce. It might feel like your comment's just a drop in the ocean, but what is any ocean but a multitude of drops? You are seen, and you are heard.
Corsets shouldn’t do that, this was tight lacing and put her in danger. Corsets existed to support breasts and posture, and happened to be a huge influence in the changing fashionable silhouettes. You can move in corsets, properly fitted and laced corsets should be no more uncomfortable than a bra. They are a huge part of historical fashion, and you can’t deny that. They shouldn’t have this bad of a connotation
Well said
i got my first corset this year and I had to do my research and learn how to lace it up, how long to wear it each day when I first get it, what the back should look like when its laced. And I've never had any problems with my corset even when i lace it fully closed. no pain, no discomfort. it's actually really comfortable it feels like a tight hug and it helps my posture. I think people who do the wardrobe should make sure the actresses get a properly made corset that fits them and they should get the actresses to season their corsets for a while before they actually need to wear them for their roles
Why aren't these people wearing corsets properly? They shouldn't be unforcomfortable. I suppose as an actor they might end up wearing them longer than they should waiting for shoots but that's just not looking after your actors
Inform Sandy Powell! Maybe period costuming isn't her forte.
@@monmothma3358 for a job on such large budget movies I think the costume designers could afford to research how to fit their actors comfortably and be historically true
@@carpentervintage_t3a514 Oh, I agree entirely. If this is true, it isn't good enough. There's usually two sides to a story, though.
What??? I don't know about modern ones, but historically, corsets have never been made with comfort in mind. Quite the opposite. They're literally designed to forcefully transform a woman's body shape into something unnatural. 99.9% of women are not naturally shaped like hourglasses, but for more than a century corsets were meant to make their bodies look that way. The fact that they had to invent a specialized piece of furniture like a fainting couch because so many Victorian women lost consciousness from wearing tightly laced whalebone corsets suggests that it wasn't about wearing the improper size or a "badly fitted" corset. All of them were badly fitted by nature. I'm flabbergasted that so many people believe corsets are or should be comfortable. It's like saying that if a man is uncomfortable in a suit of armour, it's only because he's wearing the wrong size.
@@carowells1607 I know this but we're talking about historical looking corsets in the modern day, unless you're waist training, the corset isn't fitted properly or you wear it too long corsets shouldn't be uncomfortable
Watching this while sitting up in my late Victorian style corset with my organs exactly where they are supposed to be
Emma's so cute!
1:02 his face, his tone, his hands. Everything about that "I dont know the answer to that question" was hilarious
Emma Stone: MY OrGAns ShiFtEd
Also Emma Stone: Whatever's in my stomach idk I'm not a doctor
I can hear Karolina Zebrowska fuming in the distance
Emma Stone
Eddie Redmayne
Jude Law
Melissa McCarthy
ALL IN ONE COUCH.
BLESSED
I just appreciate how all comments already are pointing out the obvious: Corsets shouldn't do that and just to imagine how ill fitting and tight laced they must be gives me the chills
If your corset is moving your organs and hurting you, it's laced too tight and you're wearing it wrong.
A corset killed my parents and burned my house down. I have never been the same since.
Nothing compared to what I suffered
My corset made me suffocated, drowned, tried to swim in lava, fell from a high place, run into a cactus while escaping the zombies.
Yep, when I wore a corset it cut me open and swapped my liver with my heart, my kidneys with my lungs and my stomach with my brain.
Did she mean menthol cigarettes? I love her she is awesome and more down to earth than alot of hollywood stars. Soo beautiful too.
Me a drag queen that performs on a corset almost everyday weekend: 👁️👄👁️
saw shifted organs...clicked!
Saw Emma stone...clicked!
corsets didn't shift organs. she had to either be wearing a very poorly made corset or dramatizing the experience. she could be dramatizing it because if it was as bad as she says it was, there would have had to be a very extreme waist reduction that wasn't at all relevant. during this time period, metal grommets didn't exist and it was had sewn eyelets that couldn't take much strain, making it impossible to tight lace, so very poorly researched costumes. its extremely basic fashion history required for any historical film. so, either very poorly researched/made corset or blatant lying.
Emma stone is my new favorite. She seems so chill
Here because of Berdanette, I’m thankful I found her *historically accurate* channel.
My regards for everyone who’s corset killed them. Mine just clocked me on the side of the head and ran away, so I had it better

I love corsets. They need to be well fitted and for the love of all that is good, do not tight lace yourself!!! And yes, you can sit in them. Just sit very straight.
It's ABBA on the couch... (american-british-british-american) 😁
I'm sorry but once you notice Eddies' cast you can¨t focus at anything else. Did he break his leg or something?
Bérénice Glue no wait. He stepped on it. And fell.
He was legit walking across a mat and sprained his ankle, haha
Im sorry but that's hilarious. Falling on a mat that's there to prevent you from hurting😂
Corsets were made to be their ‘bra’ of their time and were made to be supportive and to measure. They were never made to ‘shift’ your organs. They were made by women and were designed by women to help women of their time. If a corset is too much wearing stays (spelling?) is less frightening. Anyways watch meme mom and Bernadette Banner to get a better understanding on corsets and 18-19th century fashion.
Corsets domt shift your organs...
I love that Eddie is probably talking about Luca from Foundations Revealed. :)
This is a particularly jolly and sensible gathering here!
People say that Emma has lost her beauty. No she hadn’t. She just gotten cuter.
She's lovely and funny. Emma reminds me of Jodie Foster.
Literally no one said this, you just want likes
Not really asehole. People have said it a number of time. Clearly you have just reply to get like. Noob.
Who said that? TAKE IT BACK
@@Alexis-pt2cu wish I could but people have been saying it.
Oh lord I love Emma. Such a sweetheart
They are all so incredible! Would love to see Emma and Melissa in a comedy together 🤣 Maybe Spy 2 or something 😉
Lol I have this secret fantasy of meme mum and Bernadette lining up Emma Watson and Emma Stone and pelting them with corsets and saying, “Does it hurt now?” while a historically accurate video played showing them the fact.
Our queens are too soft for this but still, I would enjoy seeing that.
a particularly interesting couch..
Emma is so adorable
Anyone notice at 1:22 Emma looks pissed that she was interrupted
Yeh hhaaha but i dont blame her she tried to speak for 2 minuted
Lol they were being really annoying. She saw the camera and acted cool
You wrong she isn’t pissed
Exactly like that coupon scene in "easy a"😂
She wasn't pissed at them, you dumbo. She makes that face when trying to explain something hard to explain. Are you watching her for the first time?
I come from the Corset parody video by Karolina Zebrowska... well... it’s accurate.
Very interesing, cause sometimes i wear real corset all day for school or something, cause i like it, and its not paintful or uncomfortable
Lol this would have been the time to have Keira knightly the queen of corset roles
Yeah my cousins sister brothers moms aunt wore a corset and it threatened to take her pet raccoon, shift her organs and to rob her house
I’m sure it burned the local church and poisoned the village’s water source too.
