[Atropa Belladonna] Corsets may have been worn in period--but not by women. Corsets (like every other garment ever invented) were worn first by men, as part of armor. Corsets improve posture. I know men who fight heavies in corsets. But unless you're Elizabethan (which of course is only considered kosher in some kingdoms) you shouldn't be in a corset.
Ah by my book contradicts that! And it reffers to the 'male corset' as a jupe - a tight fitting tunic or later a defensive version of it made of metal or leather was known as "corselet" or "cuirass"
it goes on to say 'The corse worn by women at this time *previous date stated was 1130* consisted of a piece of material or leather(see Vol. I., p.34 for an earlier example); and, according to an illuminated manuscript of this period (Nero, C. IV., British Museum *reffering to that picture I posted*), depricting the devil tight-laced in corsets, it was stiffened with wood of metal, and laced up the front (Fig. 30)'
and to the left ot it is a picture of a corset, similar to the one I'm wearing in the other picture I posted!
So there is some evidence to state that there could be corsets of this kind, in SCA period!! For women!

Naito_Mitsukai Kittywitch Naito_Mitsukai And I already know that the the under-bust version of this kind of corset isn't period (although appears to be a greatly-favoured 'SCA-ism') xd Actually, according to a class I helped research (a little) the "tits on a tray" bodice is period for late ren. However, it was only worn by the cheap prostitutes. xd lol that's an interesting name for it I havn't heard before! xd May I ask where you found that information out? biggrin I'll try to get in contact with the woman who actually taught the class, to see if I can get at the sources she was using. I reiterate, however, it is VERY late period, in fact, it is only as period as the normal idea of a pirate. However, there are many varients on the bodice/corset, some of which are much earlier.
