The 17th-Century Breastoration: A Time Before Bras Shared by jftesser This is super comprehensive! I made an Elizabethan corset once…it is a little scary. If you’ve ever been to a Renaissance Faire (I have), you know that the concept is less Queen Elizabeth and more Don Key-Ho-Tee’s Medieval Potlucke WITH BREASTS. Or at least it […]
