Ok but forreal the first few seconds of this video remind me of middle school me who didn’t have a strapless bra yet and was about to discover clear straps 😅 WHO REMEMBERS
Anyway, as a workout clothing designer, removable padding for @popflexactive tops is nothing new! But I just hadn’t done a built in bra for a top in an elegant and meaningful way for wearing outside the gym. As you know, I’ve been dabbling in the non-activewear space here and there…so I’m excited to share with you my latest creation…
✨Corset Cami✨
✔️ built in bra (shelf bra with removable padding)
✔️ adjustable straps
✔️ faux boning to mimic a corset and snatch you
✔️ super stretchy and super soffffftttt buttersmooth fabric (so NOT restrictive like a corset)
✔️ wide elegant neckline
✔️ romantic curved hem
✔️XXS-3X
It’s stretchy and comfy enough for a solid Pilates sesh but also so beautifully made that you can pair it with your normal clothes for going out and no one will think you’re wearing gym clothes. It’s totally hybrid.
What do you think!? Should built in bras for women’s casual or going out tops always be a thing!?
I’m a 32A wearing size small. You can order your normal size for this too, but might wanna size up on white. I had to double layer the white with thicker fabric to ensure it wouldn’t be see through, so as a result, it fits a tad tighter!

CORSETS WEREN'T SO RESTRICTIVE, THEY WERE TAILORED EXACTLY FOR YOU, AND IF THEY WERE SO UNCOMFORTABLE IT WAS BECAUSE IT WASN'T MADE SPECIFICALLY FOR YOU OR YOU TIGHTENED IT TOO MUCH 😭
FR THO
I came here looking for them!!!
Fr lmao 😂
Fun fact! Corsets were actually way more supportive than bras. Only the high upper class wore uncomfy corsets, otherwise they were super comfy
Do we look like we’re in the 1500s to wear corsets? No
Not to be rude but I thought if it was tight/ uncomfy that u were wearing it wrong but I guess upper class wanted to wear it wrong🤔👠
fr like actual corsets aren't bad, but bad corsets are
@theonly_2s, oh, they just mean that they had the luxury of following those ridiculous trends. It's been proven that padding, proportions, and even editing were used (in pictures taken)
Corsets and stays are meant to be comfortable.
They're very good for specific medical reasons too.
@@dafnisolomou3158 and do you need to be? No! 😃
Fun fact!: The majority of corsets werent tight or restricting, those were only introduced later for rich people at fancy events. They were designed for comfort first, and only became a fashion statement later on
Also the fainting was more to show off how dainty you were, or stimulate consumption because for some reason the victorians thought TB was sexy kinda like heron chic.
@@md-vq8spsimulate*
😢
I've read to that the fainting was ALSO a result of being inside when it's 100 degrees outside....
with 70% humidity....
AND wearing 4 layers of fabric 🥵😳🙄
BEFORE ELECTRICITY! 😳🙅
@@animeaunty depends where you were, victorian England 4 layers of loose light fabric would be manageable in the middle of the summer, Florida keys they might only have on a few loose layers and be fine. Also until recently people tended to wear lots of loose fabric to keep themselves cool and protected from the sun, look at any tradtional desert clothing
Actually, the inability to breath, restriction, and organ rearrangement was usually due to extremely tight lacing of the corset. Usually, to tight lace you need someone else to lace it for you, so the people who mainly experienced these symptoms were wealthy people with maids. Corsets normally are actually very similar to bras. They are there for support and to help you feel comfortable!
That, or the corset being improperly fitted to you. 😊
If you’re wearing a corset properly, it will SERIOUSLY help support your back. They’re incredible. I have a lot of back pain, and any time I pop one on it feels worlds better.
Please tell me a site where to get one that hopefully isn't too expensive. I have a larger chest and I cannot stand my back pain. I wanna fit my posture too. Thank you in advance 🥺
@@smolbaguette they probably got them custom made since the ones that help support your back are usually made for your body shape
@@smolbaguette corsetdeal has some decent ones and options to have them made to your size.
I have three from them and I recommend a mesh one for daily wear.
It works wonders for my back pain
but if you use a corset to support your back you'll weaken your back muscles and it will hurt more when you take the corset off
@@victoriajeanleslie3116 omg ily so much thank you
for anyone wondering - corsets, when worn correctly, supports your back. back in the day, women wore them as a support system for all the fabric and layering their dresses on their body. think sort of like a sports bra while you're running, it's all for support.
edit - never expected my comment to gain traction, i'm glad i'm educating others and debunking common myths!

Also personally I think corsets are really cute :3 plus they are stretchy where old corsets were not stretchy.
@@Haper_Studioswhat does that have to do with the corset slander 😭
Curious fact: at first corsets were something personalized with the person's measurements, that is, they were of good quality and were an object only for high society (since they did not originally seek to give a specific shape to the waist or bust , but to make the body posture as straight as possible) then came the wasp waist fashion and when they began to manufacture them in mass factories, the quality went down, they began to make "standard sizes", causing them to begin to damage the women who used them.
Actually the garment that put women's lives at risk was the crinoline, they got stuck everywhere and in England reports of women who burned to death because the crinoline caught fire were common.
Ого! Очень познавательно, спасибо
Corsets should never be restrictive, make you unable to breathe, or be uncomfortable. That is a stigma that was made by movies. Historically, corsets were so comfortable you wouldn't want to take it off. If your corset hurts you in any way, you're either wearing it wrong, or it wasn't made for you. Corsets should be tailored, never manufactured.
it was also a stigma created by men in the fashion industry. Women have been getting shit for their appearance for forever because its sometimes the only power men have left over us. Most of the articles publishing incorrect information about corsets were written by men. These same men did not want women to have public restrooms during this time as well. The suffragettes fought for womens shelters, bathroom segregation and many other advancements we take for granted now a days. Corsets were low key a symbol of womens liberation. You will note almost all of the suffragettes wore them in direct defiance to the news paper writers because it made working much easier for women when wearing a corset. being able to own your own money, means you dont need a man to be controlling you, thus these women in their corsets were using the item for more liberty to work with restrictive clothing regulations. Public schools now a days, which are majority ran by men, conveniently forget to teach this history to children now a days. i had to learn it on my own by reading old articles written by the suffragettes and the men who hated them to find the information myself. our history as women is erased by intentional ignorance of our children. Its disgusting. we send our kids to school, and they dont even learn who they are or the history of their mothers. and to this day these hateful myths permeate our country.
Amen
Facts
Thank you finally someone said it
Not really. Women were shamed for not wearing them even when they didn't find them comfortable, just like bras, and tighter corsets were definitely a standard, unless you believe fashion youtubers are historians. Women aren't strangers to damaging beauty procedures or rituals, stop being so black and white about history, because that is definitely not something the movies made up

Fun fact! When women wore corsets, they were actually very flexible. Most of women actually did a lot of handiwork, which is why corsets were so flexible they were also not restricting in anyway and very comfortable.
Real corsets are actually pretty comfy and supportive when they are properly made to fit you like the corsets in the past. Otherwise the top is cute. You maybe thinking of tight-lacing which in itself different kind of genre. Not much different to body modding, like stretching earlobes or piercings, they are extremes the average person doesn’t do, but can be safe if done correctly and with supervision.

@blogilates should totally interview bernadette banner or another corset youtuber about real boning in future releases, especially for large chested humans.
A lot of commoners back then also wear corsets & they would often wear them during work. Most corsets back then & most good corsets in general are fitted to your size so they're comfortable, you can move in them & you can breathe in them. Also they're good for your posture!
I can confirm i wear a corset to work and can breathe.

@@ryanzone3126 oh that's interesting. I thought it was only for dressing up nowadays. Where did you buy yours?

Actually, women could move very well in corsets. That one photo with the woman with the tiny waist is just old Timmey photoshopping via painting. Everyone from the richest aristocrat to the beggars wore them
I wear a corset often when I go out. Its a long line boned with a mix of steel and artificial baleen boning. My corset is broken in, properly fitting, and is worn over a liner. I never tightlace and instead use padding to achieve the right shape. The corset also gives me deep pressure therapy and also helps with back pain. Its super cozy and feels like a hug. I dont even have to wear a bra, which are so uncomfortable to me. Bras feel more restrive to me than corsets ever have. The belief that corsets are torture devices came from men attacking womens fashion. Im a hobbyist fashion historian specializing in the edwardian period that wears period clothing. Please do not continue to spread misinformation and hate on corsets and stays. I love your designs, so please fix this silly misunderstanding.
People forget that women wore corsets for YEARS while WORKING. The squished organs were extreme true crime level stories, they weren't the norm (or even factual, depending on who you ask). Anyone can be made uncomfortable or even made sick if they deliberately tried to tie their corsets too tightly. Most women tied their corsets on their own reasonably. Not everyone had a league of servants they ordered to torture their mistresses for vanity like Elizabeth Swann in the Pirates of the Caribbean 😂.
The squished organs aren’t even true tho, if you look into other comments, they can explain it properly
the women who could afford corsets werent working physical labor jobs. They were sitting in offices typing and sewing. This in no way is evidence that corsets arent restrictive.
@@ChubbyLittleMouse I'm confused? Where did you get the idea that all corsets of the time were overly expensive? Working class women definitely wore corsets (considering they could literally make their own) along with every other class of woman. Weird
In medical care practice, if you know physical therapists and Orthotics specialists. They do prescribe certain corsets for any issues with the back and some might need a bit of tightening for certain reasons like if the patient has scoliosis, using clinical reasoning, you might want to add pressure where pressure is needed to bring the spine back into it's optimal position (the midline) in a growing child. Some pregnant women or even a person with low back pain would also use a type of corset just to support their back. So the problem is not the corset itself. It is the practice of tightlacing which only a small portion of the population did back then for aesthetic purposes. We can also blame the MEN who wrote about it.
Corsets are not killing machines 😅
They were basically used like bras back then, sure there were cases of women putting it on tighter than they were supposed to and lead to passing outs but mostly everyone wore it and had no issue
As someone who knew nothing about corsets except the aesthetic factor, this comment section is very helpful! Also, love the design as always :)

As someone that has helped made corsets styled from different centuries and nose several fashion historians, the store-bought corsets in modern day times do not fit right because they're like one size fits all pretty much while historical corsets , the ones that were perfectly suited and made for your body type fit and allowed you to breathe. there were actually active where corsets for women that played sports and those are actually really comfortable lots of corsets nowadays get bad wraps because they're mass produced and not properly suited for body types mass production really killed Corsetry which started in the 19th century
Some of the original corsets from the Victorian era were real lookers! With the pretty flossing and all.

Please test a top out like this with your water balloons. I've never found a built in bra top good for big chests. If able to as well don't do removable pads, I've never used them because they just create a weird pad outline in the middle of the breast because they're always way smaller than the actual breast. *Edit for those that don't understand. Either create removable padding that works for larger breasts or have padding included in the top, so those who want padding can still have it since removable pads mean no pads for big breasts.

Fun fact: Victorian women would take paint the same color as the backround of their photos and paint around their waists to make them look thinner. Before that, those who could afford to get their portraits painted, regardless of gender, usually paid to be painted as flatteringly as possible. Most women did not over-tighten their corsets.
Not me literally working out in my historical victorian corset lmaoo
Fr😂😂😂
Could I ask wear you bought it?
@Scarabeoid Because the myth persists. Drawings done by Victorian era doctors, photo manipulated corset pics from the era, and a pair of X rays from the Edwardian period arn't helping. (The X rays were actually done to promote the Edwardian straight front corset, to try to show it was 'healthier' than the Victorian one before it. But they wore the Victorian era one wrong on purpose to skew results. It's working even over 100 years later.) Also it isn't helping that people end up picking up display samples that were made to unrealistic sizes and going "OMG!" either. It wasn't like the makers labeled them "Display sample. Size unrealistic on purpose."
Did you make or buy your Victorian corset? I’m looking for a new one and while I can make it I don’t really have the spare time right now so if you bough it could you please say where from? Thanks

Hips are llitteraly the best weight bearing bone, shifting breast support from shoulders to hips makes the most engineering sense.
fr@@stanisawzokiewski3308
Yeah and a correctly fitted and correctly worn corset doesn’t restrict movement or breathing. As for the movement of organs, that happens in many other instances that are perfectly natural (like pregnancy, which moves them much more than a corset). Honestly, if you’re going to market your product as not like a corset, know the basic facts of them. Working women wore them on a daily basis and high class women wore them for hikes, horse riding, sports etc. Stop the corset slander lol
@@stanisawzokiewski3308so it's a really good thing my breasts need no support, since no shoulders or hips are gonna have to carry more weight, it's like wanting big breasts but also liking your fun sized ones.

Yes, but they used it to be skinny so,comfy is me with a cup of tea watching television. I dont think it was comfy
@Quiana Bo only kinda. It was more used for the support than the aesthetic. It was their version of a bra. They also only do so much in the slimming department. They shape yes, but if anything, it was more about the posture.
@@quianabo7500 that’s not what it was used for, do you know what a corset even does? A diets to get skinny, a corset is either for a nice waist or back support
Yes, they are NOW, but back then they were used as a beauty standard and they’re actually thought to be the reason by some people that fainting couches were made. During women’s photo shoots they would wear corsets for a while, and they would often faint because of the air restriction.
@@louis6837 weren’t fainting couches Day beds back then
If being on historical clothing side of the internet has taught me anything it’s that one does not diss the corset. They’re a more supportive alternative to Bras that women of the working class can and did move in while going about their daily lives. Some people did tight lace but they were few and far between, and usually nobility. Most of the dramatic shapes in historical dress came from padding and undergarments rather than a tight corset. The passing out could often be blamed on tuberculosis.
Most people are not as educated as you’re, I feel you tho
Also the main source of misinformation actually stemmed from “male doctors” who knew Jack shit about the woman’s body and made things up. There’s a video with Bernadette Banner (I want to say on Abby Cox’s channel) where this is discussed.
Basically recommend any of Bernadette’s and Abby’s videos as well as Karolina Zebrowska and Nicole Rudolph videos on the subject matter for those who are interested.

I'm so glad that yours is the first comment.
Actually, corsets don't restrict you. At all. They were specifically made to be comfortable. The curved bones inside (as shown in your video) were bendable and made to snatch your waist, while also helping you to move swiftly. Designers back then were even aware of the many different body types, hence the different types of corsets. It's why they were used as underwear, and occasionally outerwear. The paintings you see with women having an impossible 2 inch waist was what they called Photoshop back then. There have been no reports of any skeletons with unnaturally narrow ribcages back in the victorian area (where corsets were more prominent).
Yes to this! Corsets were also a tailor made garment unique to each wearer and her needs.
Yed, and how the had altered the images (photos qnd canvas) in order to have thin waist is one of the main reasons of the missconception of corsets today.
Of course you could wear a really uncomfortable corset, making you hard to breath or even be in pain... But that would be like wearing high heels stilletos today, just for special occasions!
Yep, the course she specifically showed is designed to fit your waist and create an optical illusion that you have wider hips and a bigger bust. Also very few women actually tightened it so tightly that their organs shifted and their body type changed
To me they would do. I hate tight clothing
ok then why bone issues?

Hi- fashion history nerd here! A lot of what you said about the negatives of corsets are myths, they actually are quite healthy to wear when sized properly. Just a minor correction :)
And they didn’t really size them properly back in the days, therefore their rib cages were moved after wearing the corset for a long time, organs “mushed” together and it was all because they had it too tight
Edit: damn, alr, I was wrong. Ty for informing me tho❤️
@@youaregayfr That's not true most of them were sized properly and just acted as support to the back and the breasts since they wore a lot of heavy clothing on top. The silhouette of a very thin waste was always created by added padding in the back and the front.
Thank you. I hate posts that demonize corsets are torture devices. Modern people's interpretation of them is what is faulty.
Corsets were worn over shifts and adjustable for when one added and lost weight, they were wayyy better than bras that dig into your shoulders and try to steal your soul!
@@youaregayfr no. They could never remove ribs. They literally couldn't do surgery. The woman would die. Of course the corset was sized properly, the Victorians were not stupid!! They knew how to sew!!!!!!!!!

Please note that corsets aren’t torture chambers for women’s organs, they are a structured garment used for a variety of reasons. They were used as back support, to help fit a style, or to help distribute the weight of heavy garments. Some great channels to find out more about corsets would be Abby Cox, Morgan Donner, And once you enter their realm you will find more than you could ever imagine 👗

The answer is YES! All tops should have supportive built in bras! Genius!
I just want to say properly fitted corsets ARE comfortable which was very important for the working class women so they could properly do their work while wearing a corset which was essentially the equivalent of a bra back then. So as long as you have a proper corset it won't restrict movement, make breathing difficult, or shift any organs. If they did do the things you claimed women in the working class wouldn't have worn corsets. I hope this was helpful!
@momotachibana that because of "tight-lacing"
@momotachibana Indeed, very similar to celebrities now getting damaging amounts of plastic surgery to match modern beauty standards
@momotachibana the snatched waist effect was mostly achieved with optical illusions, big hip pads, big skirts, bust padding and big sleeves.
A lot of photos of the time were painted over to remove inches from the waist.
All the "health issues" were described by the same people who described fun conditions like hysteria: wandering uterus affecting the brain and making women loose their mind
depends on the type of corset though. They functioned as both a historical comfortable bra and also as a physical and metaphorical symbol of oppression
Ik but I kinda wanted a corset that we could adjust ourselves
Hey! There was a little bit of misinformation in the video! Corsets didn’t cause people to pass out, breathing problems, or squeezed organs! They were bras before bras were invented, and were perfectly safe and comfortable to wear if properly worn. The only reason that those things might have happened was if the corset was tight laced, which was extremely uncommon.
I think you're very creative and I love the fact that you really understand your customers so well, at least for me that's what i think. Keep shining ❤
I wish Hot Topic had done this back in the day when they were really about the gothic corsets!! I would buy one of these in black, red, blue, and purple in a heartbeat!!!
The myths about "evil corsets" were actually men trying to bring down suffragists and the only woman owned industry. Historical corsets were more like wearing leggings where it hugs your body but you can bend all over. Actually the only painful corsets are Hollywood movie ones where they are trying to squeeze inches out of the body, which normal corsets didn't do. Honestly I've had historically accurate corsets and standard modern bras and the corset was way comfier and the boning never tried to attack my ribcage unlike underwire bras.
I watched a documentary on the corsets in old England, and they were awful, some women actually squished their organs and ribs with those. And in that documentary, the host wore the corset of that time, they were checking her body to see how it responds, she was breathing a lot heavier than normal, got light-headed and couldn't move freely. Also, you probably don't squeeze your corsets as tightly as those women back then, so I don't think it's a myth. There were a lot of silent killers at that time.
@@berchyzgb4423 if you put a normal modern woman in a corset and you tightlace (key word tightlace) of course she's not gonna feel great! Tightlacing is what media usually portray as a normal corset use, but is a practice that the avarage corset wearer used maybe once or twice in a lifetime. Corsets were supportive garments, not torture devices. Put a normal modern woman in a bra a size too small for her and she won't like that either
@@alexosuzu6943 I hate bras, I only wear sports bras 😁 then probably the documentary was only about women who wore it really tight, I tought everyone, at least women of high class was wearing them too tight, thank you for explanation
@@berchyzgb4423 I really recommend you check out Bernadette Banner, Abby Cox and Karolina Zebrowska, they all are on TH-cam, well versed in fashion history and make historical clothing using authentic techniques.
They all have made videos myth busting the modern persecution of corsets.
Just because something is titled "a documentary" doesn't automatically mean it's true. There are plenty of "documentaries" about conspiracy theories, you know...
Corset myth is so widespread because it sounds shocking and scandalous and because it makes people feel better about the current humanity as in "oh, people back then were so stupid, we're so much smarter now"
The TH-camrs I mentioned also made a reaction video with a lot of other fashion historians to one of the newer "corset documentary", which once again was full of misinformation
You are right about "silent killers" in the past BUT the absolute majority of those were things people didn't know were harmful and said harm wasn't obvious (like with chemicals, that very slowly poison a human organism over time, without anyone realising, what the cause is)
@@berchyzgb4423 it is worth thinking about who made that documentary. In this day and age, a documentary can be done by anyone, and they dont even need to be educated nor fact checked. Also ”corsets in old england” is a veeeery broad term. The corsets in cort were VASTLY different to the ones worn by peastants. If women really couldnt breathe in them, would they still have been used by the entire population for hundreds of years? And with your ”corsets are painful” claim. Look att the coment section of this short! Litterally full of people who testify that corsets are usually comfortable.
I'm happy to see so many fashion history nerds in the comments correcting this misinformation about corsets!! So glad that so many people understand the actual purpose and functions of corsets, and understanding that they are not dangerous. (other than tight lacing which was not common.)
Corsets were really just like bras. Just an undergarment to wear under clothing! I'm sure most women loved taking it off at the end of the day, just like we love taking our bras off at home after a long day, but they were not dangerous, uncomfortable, or harmful. They were just a regular undergarment.
Just bc some girl made a video on yt about corsets doesn't mean her video is true. They are tight and body-hugging. And corset boning is much stiffer and stronger than other types of boning. Why wouldn't that make the garment tighter and stiffer?
Yes corsets were the bras of that time, maybe perhaps. But their functions was to streamline your torso so that the dress would go over smoothly and sit fuss-free. In that way corsets are much more similar to body shapewear like spanx.
@@LovelyLittleLilliesyou're slightly contradicting yourself there by saying "of course they were uncomfortable, boning makes tight and stiff" and then saying "it's just to make your dress sit right and it's just like spanx". also op never mentioned they learned what they said from youtube videos
@@rufusgobrrr it's not a contradiction at all. Spanx is used for streamlining your body if you've got a soft body but it's also known for being very uncomfortable to wear bc it's so tight. How is that hard to comprehend? I watched a video where they were explaining corsets at a museum that's what they were used for. When you have many layers of clothing to put it can bunched up together or get bulky. Coarsest have a hard shell and help streamline the layers underneath so that the top layer can go over
@@LovelyLittleLillies no one is saying that corsets are as bendy flexy free as modern bras. Just that they wouldn't have ordinarily rearranged your organs or made it hard to move or breathe. Lots of media, including this short, perpetuate the notion that corsets are evil death traps meant to make women suffer for fashion. When the reality is that they are no more evil than modern bras or shapewear 🤷♀️
There was no need for you to be such a condescending ass in your initial reply to this comment. Op was just trying to help destigmatize a cool garment.
@@LovelyLittleLillies corsets often made form not by restricting like spandex but by being stuffed. So it's more like a pushup bra
The problem with built in bras is that not one size fits all. There are so many variations. For me, when it comes to things with a built in bra (swim suits), the clothing sizing fits me but the bra part is always too small
THATS SOOOOO GOOOD! PLEASE DO A BODY VERSION
Fun fact: corsets squishing organs is a total myth
except if you did extreme tightlacing ig (but the everyday person didn't tightlace so)
Yeah, but they can move the organs up, which is why you feel like you can’t breathe. If you had worn the corset for a bit too long, you would have felt that change after taking it off. (The organs return to their original place after some time though) This happens even now if I remember correctly.
When worn correctly! There are some people really into extreme tightlacing and it honestly scares me, but hey if they’re healthy, who am I to stop them 🤷🏼♀️
@@_TiredMotherfucker_ This is a myth created by men. Only women who tightlaced experienced these effects.
This is what scares me from wearing them
I love that we’re in a day and age where when I see a video trash talking corsets I don’t have to look at the comments to know there’s at least one fellow historical dress girlie educating in the comments, if not tons of them. 🥰
YESS so glad more people are battling the misconceptions now!
There's a ton of people defending corsets now and I'm here for it. I'm hoping to get one myself eventually to support my scholiosis!
@@anonomous8649 yes please do! It’ll do so many wonders for that! I could only imagine how uncomfortable you are. ❤ gl on finding the right one!
Yeah , I really want a corset, but so few people make them. I'm hoping with the new decreasing of stigma that they'll make a comeback
@@sirthisisawendys811 Learn to make your own!! 😊
Next level ideas!!! I just love whatever you make. ❤
Amazing Work👍🏻
Women were able to breath and move in corsets because corsets were what bras are today ! They used to excersize/dance/work in them and from my experience corsets are even more supportive and comfortable than bras !
Like Bras... but kinda better really.
@@SirenSarichan and more aesthetically pleasing, I want to wear a corset and dance
@@SirenSarichan corsets didn't leave makings on your skin too, because they weren't directly next to your skin (unless your doing corset porn movies/tv shows) there was always some sort of shirt between you and it.
Some day the things we say about Corsets will be the same things we say about bras.
@@SirenSarichan Nope. Corsets are terrible.
@@vampr3751 Then why did women wear them to work, dance, excersize for centuries without complaint?
As soon as I heard "restrictions" I jumped to the comments because I KNEW my fashion history buddies would not let this corset slander go unpunished!
Why are people nowadays so sensitive, can’t even tolerate a thing.
@@sarahm4303 haha, I'm not actually mad about what she said, I was making a joke. to clarify, the joke was about how people in the fashion history community (including myself) are very passionate about how great corsets are.
I love seeing corsets being mentioned as harmful in videos/shorts for this exact reason, being able to read everyone talk about how most corset myths were not true at all
@@groundzero2834 I know! I just love how passionate everyone is about corsets. Honestly, I adore the fashion history community so much
@@sarahm4303 it's not necessarily being sensitive, when you spread disinformation people will come and correct you, that's normal,
but not being able to stand being wrong and not accepting being corrected is for sure being sensitive
It looks so comfy 😭♥️
You are so creative, I would definitely buy this. Fun fact, I'm broke.
A corset is the equivalent of a bra that also supports the rest of your upper body. Women don’t wear bras too small for them (on purpose). Likewise, women didn’t wear corsets that were laced too tight. They were tailored to their proportions and laced as tight as necessary. They were not as restrictive as many people think they were.
Constructive feedback: I really do love the design, but for me personally I prefer when the cups are not removable since sometimes they get lost in the way or fall out. I’d say maybe make it a little bit shorter but for the most part is so cute and just perfect! Thank you so much for taking the time to help us out!
In cases like this, it might help to sew the outside fabric to keep the cups inside
YESS
Agreed 👍
Funny enough: I strongly prefer removable ones, as I take them out of every top, as soon as it arrives. Please don't force me to keep that extra sweaty layer 🥺.
I do agree on the shorter part though, as the curved hem will easily climb up anyway.
I agree 👍 💯 🙆♀️ 🙆♂️
All design you created are well thought if, looks amazing and looks so comfortable to wear. Stylishly comfortable ❤
How is it just soo perfect
Please no removable pads! They are so annoying and difficult, they shift around so much and are very unflattering. A thicker fabric works better instead. I also agree with the other comments, and look forward to seeing how you incorporate the feedback!
as a girl with a small chest just some light padding or thick fabric would be wayyyy better than a built in bra especially if it’s gonna have the detachable padding i hate those with a passion they’re a nightmare to get back in place after washing
I hate the removable bra pads I'm heavy chested I prefure a thicker li en to shoot I wear maternity tanks built in bra no pads
I feel like cassie really just makes clothes for herself 😂
Well I hate pads so I remove then, so I love it
❤💯
You do realize that corsets we’re basically just bra’s+shape wear right? Unless you tight-laced, something that was very,VERY uncommon corsets were actually pretty comfortable and even worn during exercise.
And even then tight-lacing didn't become an actual problem until metal grommets. Before that tight-lacing would tear the eyelets if it was too tight or worn for too long. With metal grommets that wasn't a concern anymore so they could go even tighter and keep it in all day.
@@lorddampnut5275and also in general it’s common sense and logic that anything that’s too small for you wouldn’t be comfortable or make circulation more difficult, the article of clothing sometimes isn’t a problem, maybe you just need to recognize that you’re a bigger size
*Looks so comfortable*
My god you are so talented❤
Can we just appreciate the fact that she is actually responding to our needs and cares about us ?❤
Edit: Thanks for the likes!
❤️
@@blogilates ok so girl, I’m loving this top but….. I think you should make this without removable pads in it because I hate it when the pads move around and get twisted up but for real girl, this is just a slay!
@@Walker_editss Me too! I love it but I agree with you 100%! ❤
@@MOARMLINKwassup I’m sure she knows that. She’s saying that she wish it DIDN’T HAVE removable pads.
@@Walker_editss this happens to me all the time but what i do is sew a few stitches on each side if the pad so it doesn’t move hope this helps!
I expected a fashion designer to know that corsets aren't evil
i think she was just trying to make her design look better so people would buy that instead of a corset
She just pointed out some actual issues with corsets and how she didnt have them
Aren’t her concerns valid tho? It’s workout clothes… you need mobility.
@@jennyanderson1172 but those aren't actually issues. I thought most all fashion designers knew that
@@firstnamelastname7595 sorry, I think I kind of misworded that, what I meant that in for her use of corsets, those would be actual issues, and I'm not well versed in historical fashion so I can't be sure it's true but fainting from lack of air sure seems like an issue to me
Can you do non removable pads? It makes it so much easier to wash,because the pads don’t come out 😁
You should make it a crop please😊
Note to self: Never, under *any* circumstance, get facts about corsets wrong. You _will_ summon all of the historical fashion community and they will *not* be happy.
As a corset enthusiast, I just had a breakdown
Fr😭
In a good or bad way😭
Eh just educate. We fashion history nerds got an uphill climb to educate people about corsets and what they were originally ment to do against people who believe in the misconceptions. It looks like we are gaining ground and gaining more people with understanding that the corset was a foundation garment ment to spread out weight for fashions, and for the support.
Even tho i can't wear corset because of my ribcage being V i also had a breakdown
Girl you’re genius
Girl you’re soooo incredibly underrated.
I mean
Amazing!!!
I was like yes yes yes until the misinformation about the corset ... 😅
Same!!! I was so excited for her to talk about how supportive and great corsets were! And then we took a hard turn into perpetuating stereotypes. Bummer. 🤦♀️
YES YES, I undid my like because of this
Yeahh
Same 😢
@@kelseydalziel3514 No corsets are bad 😂
in addition to the corset education in the comments, there were also corset designs that could be and were worn before, during, and after pregnancy because of the adjustability. as someone who wears a corset often for medical reasons (i have eds and it helps support my spine and ribs because my connective tissues don't) and someone with asthma i can guarantee you there is no restriction, breathlessness, or pain. 😊
don't forget about the athletic corsets! a small subgenre for the rare female athlete from back in the day. I'm so dissapointed seeing her reinforce such negative stereotypes about corsets. like she's supposed to be a fashion designer, how are you a fashion designer who knows nothing about basic fashion history! I learned this in HIGHSCHOOL FASHION & DESIGN!!
Wow you impress me every time!!!!! Truly you are the best!!!!♥️
I loveeeeee this design!!!❤
I find it intriguing that someone who designs clothing doesn't know one of the biggest clothing myths- Corsets. Corsets were worn by many working class women and when worn properly, they only aided many people. Corsets are supposed to designed and customized for a single person because of its unique nature. That's why mass production of "corsets" never works because no one is the same. Many people know still wear corsets for medical purposes like scoliosis 🤔🤔 The idea that corsets are stiff and unbreathable is so outdated and a quick TH-cam search will explain that and more about how brilliant corsets actually are
unfortunately, it isn't the first time that a fashion designer believed in this misconception about corsets. I don't remember if I corrected another fashion designer in the comments or not, but if I didn't, I should of.
Probably its bcs not all "designer clothing" learn the history of fashion, at least as someone who study in fashion school, i must learn all fashion history 😅 but then again idk if she used to go to a fashion school or just design clothing bcs she likes it
oh wow! i never knew this, thanks for explaining :)
She didn’t really went to school for it. She’s only a pilates enthusiast youtuber who eventually made the gym clothes she wanted to wear. There’s no clothing history book that comes with business/manufacturing.
@@kikiam7850 a quick search on the topic would help, no? She's promoting her product with corset references, the least she could've done was look for VERIFIED and PROVEN information about corsets instead of blatantly using misinformation.
Fashion history nerd! Most of the comments about corsets you made where myths, really non of that was the case they lased them normal and then padded them out to create the illusion of a small waist.
As of the garment, looks good but I would add like 1-2 boneing channels on the sides and or the back just to make it look more cohesive. Maybe shorten it like a inch or so just looks awkwardly long for the rest of the top.
If anyone wants to learn more about corsetry, I recommend Berdent Bannr's corset reconstruction video, gives a deep dive into all of that. ♡
