Secrets of the medieval women's costume

This topic is shrouded in "secrets", but in fact, everything is quite simple to explain there.
Corsets did not "emphasize" the waist, the waist is not a sign of "beauty". Most athletic slender American women do not have a waist; even thin American women do not have it. This means a defect that narrows the chest and weakens the functionality of the muscles. No one wanted to emphasize the waist, it was just a means to remove fat and saggy breasts. For the same reason, they wore wide skirts with crinolines - to hide the deformity of the legs. Portraits of the old German nobility and Paleo-Veneres testify that the women of old Europe were very far from the ideal of female beauty.

All this is still used for the same purposes.

As a rule, in beautiful slender women with a good figure, regardless of the width of the pelvis, the waist is almost absent, it is almost the same as in men.

A narrow waist will inevitably weaken the muscular core, this is very bad for fitness, because this is the weakest part of the core even if there is no waist at all.
