For real??
I want to say something sarcastic, but I'm kind of too frustrated: someone on FB asked a question about bodiced petticoats, had a short exchange with someone else regarding bust support, and said she trusted a particular blog post that said the "divorce" look didn't come in until the late 1810s (written by a blogger who is great but doesn't specialize in that era at all). I responded with a very polite correction of the post, and she posted "I trust her 100%" and deleted the whole thread!
It's your prerogative to believe who you want to believe, but trust me, 18th century-style stays didn't come back in fashion in the 1800s and the long corset wasn't invented in 1817. I don't think pointing that out should be grounds for deleting my comment, but hey, you do you.
