I saw the video--very funny presentation!

At one point, the man puts his hands into the corsets & Lifts the woman off her 
feet.  The corsets, naturally, stay perfectly intact. lol

I have a friend who did a bodice ripper presentation at a costume con-- IIRC 
she ended up getting dragged offstage via the intact and unaffected corset by 
the frustrated would-be ripper...

I had a friend way back who borrowed several of my dresses so her husband,
an illustrator could get some photos of her in them as models; he wanted to
create more accurate cover art for "bodice rippers."

Way cool!  I know of one or two writers who really should have consulted 
something like that...

Heh. Did that for a history class, going the other way round. Since it  
was a mixed group, I wore leotards underneath! Made it easier to slip  
on jeans & t-shirt and sit through the rest of the class.


It's fun to watch the uninitiated as you discuss all the  
underpinnings-- even the dress is unfamiliar to them.

Hey! If you watch the video, that's my friend Kelly Cochran-Davis who made the 
outfit and is demonstrating to Ms Gist how to wear it! Very cool! Kelly is an 
excellent costumier. KarenSeamstrix

Hi folks,

I saw this on the Wall Street Journal site, of all places.  It's an
article with a slideshow and an amusing video, about a lady who writes
historical romances--and wanted to get her steamy scenes right.  :)

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304911104576443871615544338.html

Fun stuff.  I've seen a similar show for how Queen Elizabeth I would
have been dressed by her ladies.
