Vintage Blog

Hi! I'm Emma and I'm really into history and vintage fashion. Late 1930s to early 1940s is my favorite era for fashion but I love all fashion history really. I am fascinated by history in general and am currently pursuing my master's in museum studies so I can keep working with it. My heavy metal blog: sunrise-has-gone

it’s so funny when in regency era movies someone faints from wearing a corset cause like

how do you faint from this. i think you should get checked out tbh i think you’re asthmatic

[ofide]

or when they do tight lacing as if a) the shape of those stays allowed for the tension to actually “compress” anything instead of just breaking the garment b) they weren’t literally dressed like this. who are you tight lacing for? superman’s x ray vision?
