LE CORSETTE ROYALE














Did you know that in the 1830s, the corset was thought of as a medical necessity? It was believed that women, being the weaker sex, were physically and mentally more fragile, and needed assistance from some form of stay to hold them up. Even girls as young as three or four, and probably directed by the best motives, were laced up into bodices.

Thank you, dear :) it was the first time I'd paired Labradorite with Gold and I'm really pleased with how this turned out :)
