    I'm surprised that the ladies haven't got custom made corsets by this point. It's not practical for a whole cast in a one off film to get them, but 2 characters who are in every episode of a fairly long running drama can surely get hold of some. I'd imagine they'd use them again for other productions as well and given that Martha at least is part of the production company it actually makes sense to invest in one good quality garment that can be reused over and over again.

      no because corsets are dangerous for the body even wearing them for a bit or to do some fliming in and you can't bend properly in them.

      It's literally like using shoes. If they don't meet your dimensions, lace it thight enough, or don't have the proper "undergarments" (i.e. socks), you will have a pain walking the whole day. I wear since 2020 vintage made fashion (accurately 1910s working class) daily, and I can ensure you that if it wasn't by corsets, my back would be gone by now.
      People nowadays mostly don't even know or bother about it, so it's VERY likely they just gave her a generic one who obviously would be a completely understandable lame to use

      Muscles and tendons get lazy and weak if they get constant support. That has been proven with people who only wore Birkenstock shoes for hears and years. The body is made to support itself and if you get problems with that a corset isn’t what is needed, training those muscles is.

      ​@@aliceramdom.s okay but why would Lolly (or anyone) actively choose to wear an uncomfortable garment when she could use a much more comfortable one to achieve the same effect, if not better? If you've got the budget, I don't see why they couldn't spend like £100 for proper shaping garments. Not only would it have been more comfortable for Lolly and Martha, but it would have been more economical plus more historically accu-rat (accurate). It would look literally the same, it wouldn't at all affect their personal style nor the characters' style.

    Okay, so someone might get the idea to squish their actresses too much, to make them "look better", but that's just ridiculous, whyyy. And most of the actors talking about corsets compressing their ribs, rearranging their organs and other bullshit seem to think it's just the norm. Like, "yeah, that what a corset does, duh". No, it's not, your costume department failed you.
