There are a few reasons as to why men wore corsets, to try to change their figures, to be more feminine,or as part of a group or individual behaviour, such as Steampunk 
2. in response to a desire by their wives/girlfriends to have them dressed in that way 
3. because they like other men and wish to increase their own attractiveness, 
and so on. ]]> 2016-03-04 17:22:33 UTC https://padlet.com/shinesbright01/1ad1eo9wpukk/wish/99091572 shinesbright01 https://padlet.com/shinesbright01/1ad1eo9wpukk/wish/99092207 2016-03-04 17:24:54 UTC https://padlet.com/shinesbright01/1ad1eo9wpukk/wish/99092207 Where do I see this going in the next 5-25 years? shinesbright01 https://padlet.com/shinesbright01/1ad1eo9wpukk/wish/99094702 I don't see this garment becoming the next big thing because of how  uncomfortable it is The only way I could see it getting popular is if some famous people started to promote them but other than that I doubt it's going to sky rocket.]]> 2016-03-04 17:33:46 UTC https://padlet.com/shinesbright01/1ad1eo9wpukk/wish/99094702 Did corsets create misshapen livers or life-threatening diseases? shinesbright01 https://padlet.com/shinesbright01/1ad1eo9wpukk/wish/99443770 Of course, they aren't exactly the healthiest things to wear every day. They did force organs to shift around, cause indigestion and constipation, and eventually weakened back muscles. And they didn’t leave a lot room for pregnant women’s fetus-incubating bellies. But deadly they were not. They also didn’t prevent women from doing their work "any more than, say, stiletto
 heels do."]]> 2016-03-07 17:12:02 UTC https://padlet.com/shinesbright01/1ad1eo9wpukk/wish/99443770 Side Note shinesbright01 https://padlet.com/shinesbright01/1ad1eo9wpukk/wish/99745040 the "vintage corsets" drawings are from the Edwardian period (1901-1910). Vintage is generally considered 1920-1970s.

The shape of the corset changed to a s-bend corset in 1901 to accommodate the bustle dresses. 
Look up Edwardian corset vs Victorian corset. Big difference.

Stays= flat stomach with inverted triangle shape. Eg: Queen Elizabeth the first outfit. 
Victorian corset = hourglass shape
Edwardian corset = s-bend ( think bustles/big but)

The hemline also rises at this time. The corset then changes to a girdle in the early 1920.
The shape of women bodies in the 1920s is suppose to be boyish, thin and flat chested. It represents the youthful many men lost to the war. This is also the time when get the pressure to be thin comes about. Women start to exercise and showing that you were thin and tan meant you had enough wealth to have Leisure time and heathy food.  Girdles are used until the the 1960s. After that people are expected to get the desired body shape through diet and exercise. We still have corset and girdles but they are used for special occasions or costumes. Most people now wear spanks if necessary

Until the 1840s, well-shaped figures can do without one without drawing Looks. In 1828, lacing eyelets with hammered-in metal grommets are invented (until then, eyelets had been stitched). A year later, the planchet came in Two metal strips, one with little mushroom-shaped heads, the other with eyelets, used to close and open the corset in front without having to undo the lacing every time. This busk, as it is called in English, makes it possible to change the lacing completely: Both ends of the cord are threaded through the eyelets crosswise and knotted together at the end. At waist level, one loop is formed on either side and used to pull the lacing tight. This kind of lacing is still used today.

Fashion now permits women to wear elegant dresses without a corset. Nevertheless, corsets were still worn for a few years more, but both the S-line and tight-lacing disappear. Elastic inserts give more room for movement – and they have to, because post-1910 corsets reach so far down that they would otherwise prevent the wearer from sitting and walking. The so-called war crinoline (1915/16) with its high waists and flared skirts made even those unnecessary.]]> 2016-03-10 04:42:18 UTC https://padlet.com/shinesbright01/1ad1eo9wpukk/wish/100122214
