Talk:Metal corset

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is currently in very poor shape - I'm not sure it needs to be a separate article from corset. Specifically, I would like to see references - particularly for the assertion that they were worn as anti-assassination devices (how many medieval and Renaissance women had to worry about being assassinated?!), but also I would like to see references defending the historical existence and use of metal corsets: I had understood that, like chastity belts, the existing examples are of Victorian provenance.

The historical existence is a corset cover, for political wedding. To carry 40 pound of silver brocade and/or gold brocade, you have need of a strong foundation. Do you doubt?

Today metal corset (cover) is a extreme underground fashion. http://www.candsconstructions.com/images/C&S0307as.jpg

It is important as separate metal corset (cover) from all other articles, because it easy to get many fantasy references. And they exist as a rare fashion, when whalebone was to soft. Your wish to mix some rarely corset covers by the corset article will ruin the corset article.
