" When the corset is deemed tight enough (as in, “Oh look, her lungs are the size of peanuts!”), the two maids mumble something about a petticoat, which I think must be the gown thing that goes over the corset. It’s softer than I’d expected, which comes as a relief. I’ll take comfort anywhere I can get it. "
