Me? Loose morals?
According to 'Victorian Pharmacy' on BBC2 all 'fine young ladies' aspired to having a waist of 22" to 20" and it was 'only women of loose morals wore loose corsets'. Hmmm ... guess we know where I would fall then!
With a post title like that, I just had to come and visit! Think they would be a bit disappointed with this generation! Yikes! 20 inches! Hey Trash, sorry I haven't been dropping in much (and commenting not at all!)... hopefully with a bit of time away I will be a bit better at staying in touch. Hope you are well.

I've always found it far worse to wear loose undies!
You brazen hussy of loose morals!! I expect your corsets are red and black too.....
'Victorian Pharmacy' sounds like a show I'd like to watch!!
i too am of loose morals and love every minute of it, sisters unite!
I'd say loose corsets would definitely lead to loose morals. Clearly it's easier access ;-)
That's you and me both then!
And me.
Me three!!!
well i'm saying nothin'!!!!

I'm almost afraid to ask...what about women who wear NO corsets at all? I only ask because I have a friend... ;)

My morals would need substantial tightening to get me to a 22 inch waste!
