Comment by FIRE_FLIES on I’m Sure It’s My Baby - Chapter 4

@FIRE_FLIES  they both had it inside? But nice summary 🤣

@FIRE_FLIES Or hear me out, one of the two had expired baby batter. Also eff corsets. Pretty sure that medival fashion piece caused complications

@Floyd the Cosmic Horror "expired baby batter" ? 🤣 
I cant believe they actually used to stand wearing those tight corsets. I can already imagine people dying of that, it literally squeezes your stomach and lungs, I would rather die than wear these.

@Yww At least there's no mention of the lead or mercury face pastes for that glassy eyed porcelain look. Million ways to die in ye olden days. Did you ever specify what genres of music you prefered or do I continue to put the one's I liked that day in the comments?

@Floyd the Cosmic Horror expired baby batter 😭🤣

@Floyd the Cosmic Horror I'm good with anything, but pop please 😌

@Yww Okay, common misconception, but corsets actually just have an undeserved bad rep. Real corsets during that time were made-to-order, that is to say, they were custom made for each individual based on their specific measurements. Because of this, they weren't actually uncomfortable or 'too tight'. Modern media often depicts them as extreamly tight and constricting but it was actually never like that. Sure sometimes people would exessively tighten their corsets, but that was a rarity. Moreover, corsets were actually quite functional. They acted as a means to support the bust all the while balancing the heavy weight of the skirt - tucking the tummy in is only something in widespread media, it was rarely used for that purpose. Infact, women of those times would actually face a lot of difficulty without the corset as the difference in weight and lack of support would make it too difficult to even move around properly.
