/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I've always thought that this cosplay looked awkward. Now I can't help, but notice how wrinkled the bodice looks. Most Rococo era gowns were made with a very stiff and elongated bodice to make the torso look tiny at the waist - I believe it's an optical illusion created by the help of a stomacher Corsets were worn, yeah, but cinching those things tightly wasn't a thing until the 19th century (and even so, not everyone was able to tighten those damn things for an impossibly small waist).
