Comments by "Iain Mc" (@iainmc9859) on "Why Bridgerton Actors Complain About Corsets (From a Daily Corset Wearer)" video.

Having torn cartilage on the lower spine (nauseatingly sickening) I had to wear a lumber support, velcro stays, for about six months. Okay, it wasn't by choice and I definitely wasn't doing cartwheels in it - could never do cartwheels anyway - but the support made life bearable. By the end of the first month I didn't notice I was wearing it. I certainly did notice it when I wasn't. None of the above is truly equitable to historical stays; the actors obviously aren't method actors, the corsets were probably not made to measure and their reaction to the underwear is filtered through the press, which is just looking through a glass darkly. Can't say I've ever enjoyed Jane Austen type series, more of a Bronte Sisters man myself.

@VBirchwood About 18 years ago. I was never too supple in the first place but if for some reason I end up on my back I resemble an upturned turtle (not the teenage mutant ninja variety) which made my Aikido classes a bit challenging/comical. My guess of your 'favourite' book would be Jane Eyre ?
