Welcome to my blog.<br /><br />I have an easier idea with your idea that the red garment provided some bust support than I do with the idea that the garment performed any of the functions associated with corsets. To be fair, the authors of the ATN article suggest in the alternative that the "corset" might have functioned to make other garments rest better over the body. But in light of the obvious concern with warmth (the multiple layers of clothing, at least two of which had added insulation), I think that additional warmth was the major concern--particularly if the woman was pregnant.Cathy Raymondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04580681386443534011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670213486548123819.post-3559381851243236982012-04-10T11:26:44.537-04:002012-04-10T11:26:44.537-04:00you know, I keep looking at that red undergarment ...you know, I keep looking at that red undergarment and can't help but think it would give some moderate bust support, like a tankini or camisole with a shelf bra.
