Thought I would share a link to this really cute 1912 article on "the evolution of corsets" including some very sweet pictures. It's from an book shared in one of the 1912 articles on YWU and I have been reading through the whole series of them. Link takes you to the first page of the corset bit - its at the bottom of the right hand page.

That's amazing. "In the 8th, 9th, and 10th centuries, women did not really dress." Fantastic! Man, I love old articles on clothing history.
