Fashions: ® Described by Beryl de Querton

The video explores the evolution of corsetry from the Tudor period to the 20th century. It begins with the introduction of corsets in Tudor times, highlighting their steel framework. The Elizabethan era saw corsets made of wood and iron, while the Stuart period introduced leather corsets. The 18th century brought whalebone corsets, and by 1936, corsets had become streamlined. The video humorously suggests young men ask their mothers about corsets and Santa Claus.
