Abstract

The corset may conjure up images of a busty Nancy singing in a dusty Victorian beer house, or Marie Antoinette telling the poor to eat cake. Despite this historical baggage, corsets have been making a strong revival. But why has it become so popular in an age when women are seemingly less restricted than ever?
