/kloc-in the 0/9th century, a "thin waist" wind swept across Europe. At that time, European women thought that only when the waist was thin could they sway when walking, so as to better show the beauty of the chest and buttocks. Therefore, "the thinner the waist, the better" became the supreme aesthetic standard of women at that time. In order to shape the ultimate thin waist, one terrible waist-binding tool was born, which shaped one "cruel beauty" after another.
The girdle in Europe originated from the court. Unofficial history said that Queen Josephine was having an affair and was pregnant. In order to hide her eyes and ears, she took a piece of cloth and wrapped it around her abdomen, but it had the effect of holding it high. Paired with fashionable low-cut clothes, * * * is clearly visible and has become a trend for a while.
Men think that girding the waist forms a shocking image just to arouse lewdness and lust, but women think it is convenient to display jewelry. On the eve of the appearance of bras, upper-class women were still oppressed by boards, whale bones and leather corsets. If they dare to take off their bras and relax their posture, they will be considered morally pathetic.
Working-class women and peasant women can't afford expensive corsets, which will hinder their work. At the historic moment, a cheap corset appeared, with a tie on the chest and no help from a servant. At that time, the upper class had the absolute advantage of leading the trend. Although paul poiret, the inventor of the bra, was devoted to nobility, his wife, who took off her waist, was only regarded as a shocking and ultra-fashionable person, and there were few imitators.
There is a clothing historian named Hausang, who specializes in corsets. Among them, the corset made by 1860~ 1870 is described as follows: "The material is dark black silk with fine cotton lining. The design is extremely complicated and the stitches are fine. Twenty whale bones and 140 lacing thread were used. Ancient underwear refers to things like corsets and waist cloth.
People knead rectangular cloth into layers of folds, which is the style of clothes in ancient Mediterranean. From 1580 to 1600, one kind of iron tights is considered as the earliest popular tights, but people are more inclined to believe that it is used to correct deformed spine.
From17th century to18th century, with the continuous rationalization of human behavior, the connotation of tight underwear has gradually changed. It seems that this rationalization and connection has led to the criticism of "hypocritical artificial fashion" by the whole society, including the criticism of corset.
In 1970s, another kind of "tight underwear" quietly rose among fashionable French women. It consists of two small bras with linen lining and no bone lining, which is very convenient to wear. You can tie it to your chest with a string or belt. Silk pink corset with sleeves, 1660- 1670 corset, skirt and underwear, 1760- 1780. Since1in the 1990s, people have invented a neoclassical female long skirt with a high waist.
Although this kind of long skirt can and often is used with a long waist, it seems that a short and wide waist is more suitable. 1907- 19 10 years, the profile of fashionable busts gradually straightened, the waist became loose, but the hips became tight.
A slim young woman only needs a bra and an unlined corset. This combination is called "Tango Tight Underwear", which is very elastic. Until about 19 19, most tight underwear still has two separate bra cups in front and tightened at the back.
Mass production of "Meifu" tight underwear, 1880 blue satin tight underwear and 1890 waist-binding is a specific aesthetic concept, but this aesthetic concept, like foot-binding in ancient China, has irreparable consequences. Waist girdling provides a "second skeleton" for women, helping them to shape a posture that meets the requirements of the times and status.
There is a whale bone, wood, ivory, horn or metal brace in the middle of the French corset to keep it straight. This is the design principle of plastic underwear for hundreds of years.
Most of the braces are made by professional craftsmen and engraved with love poems, which are the objects of men's desires, as well as boudoir poems and popular dramas. If a woman takes out the brace of a bra and holds it in her hand, it will be considered frivolous and bold flirting.
In Europe in the19th century, any dignified woman must wear this kind of corset underwear, and women are oppressed by boards, whale bones and metal bars all day long. From * * * to the belly, women are willing to suffer hardships. In order to have a slim figure, they tighten their belts until a long and deep wound appears on the ribs, which goes deep into the skin and even dies.
/kloc-in Europe in the 0 th and 9 th centuries, many people died because of waist binding, and the ribs were over-compressed, thus puncturing the liver. The most typical scene is reflected in the movie, that is, Scarlett, the heroine in Gone with the Wind, grabs the bedpost hard and asks the maid to help her tie her waist a little thinner.
Waist binding is worse than foot binding. Foot-binding is to break the bones of your toes and step on them for life. Pain will make you miserable, but it won't kill you! Girdling your waist will kill you. Even if you don't use the iron skeleton, a waist-binding tool, you will eventually suffer from malnutrition and anorexia, and many people will die. In the constant visceral injury, rib deformation and other diseases, women finally chose the latter between slim waist and survival, and the iron corset was abandoned and replaced by Buner corset.
At the age of 19 10, the trend of girdling gradually faded, and women's waistlines finally returned to a size more in line with their health. /kloc-in the middle of the 0/8th century, an anti-waist-tightening movement initiated by doctors appeared in Europe, fighting side by side with the anti-wet nurse movement under the banner of science.
The famous remark comes from a pamphlet written by a Frenchman named Bono: "Using whale bones to gird the waist leads to the degradation of human species, which goes against the laws of nature, increases the crisis of population decline and deteriorates the quality of men. In other words, a woman is named a pregnant man, but she is punished from the moment she is conceived. "
This selfish male view is really annoying, but the goal is the same as that of early feminists. 1876, Ursin, the godmother of American female existentialism, said in an anti-girding speech: "I exist, and my primary role is not my wife or mother, but a woman. I have the right to exist as a woman.
But no one listened to them. Although girding makes women suffer and conforms to the "seduction principle" of men with erotic meaning, women use sexiness more than men to get ahead. As long as you don't take off your waist, you may be promoted to the upper level.
The origin and development of European women's girdle originated from the court. Unofficial history said that Queen Josephine was having an affair and was pregnant. She took a piece of cloth to cover her eyes and ears, wrapped it in her abdomen, but it had the effect of propping up * * *, coupled with fashionable low-cut clothes. * * * is clearly visible and has become a trend for a while.
Men think that girding the waist forms a shocking image just to arouse lewdness and lust, but women think it is convenient to display jewelry. On the eve of the appearance of bras, upper-class women were still oppressed by boards, whale bones and leather corsets. If they dare to take off their bras and relax their posture, they will be considered morally pathetic.

Did women in ancient western countries have the custom of girding their waists? Personally, I think the waist-binding custom in ancient Europe is even more cruel than that in China. The most serious consequence of binding feet is disability, and the most serious consequence of binding waist is death. In Europe in the19th century, there were many deaths caused by girdling: the ribs were over-compressed, which led to the rupture of the liver.
The waist is tied, but it is not only narrowing the waist, but tightening the abdomen from the lower end of the * *, which causes many women to have long and deep wounds on their ribs, which go deep into the skin and even die. The reason for girding the waist is simple. At two o'clock, 1, women always show their noble status by showing their inability to work.
2. Between men and women, a woman's slender waist can always stimulate a man's * * *. At that time, in Europe, women's extremely slender waist often aroused men's extreme * * *. When "sex" is not easy to talk about openly, men steal the column and name it "beauty"
Just like wrapping the feet, the waist should be "grabbed from the doll". When you were about nine years old, girls began to wear corsets. In a 40-pound suit made of steel, leather and wood, the girls are squeezed so tightly from armpit to hip that they can't breathe fully.
The corset is divided into whole bone and half bone. "Whole bone" means that each whale bone is arranged as closely as possible. And if there is a gap the width of a whale bone between two whale bones, then this bra is a "half bone".
In order for their daughters to have a thinner waist and find higher-level families in the future marriage and love market, some mothers even dress their daughters in "double-bone" corsets. When wearing a bra, the girl is supported by the bedpost, and her hands are tied to the bedpost with straps. Mother puts her knees on the girl's back and tightens the straps as much as possible.
Mom may tighten the tie of the corset from bottom to top, then tie the knot and cut off the excess rope head, leaving only a bare knot. Some mothers use wax and rings to seal the rope buckle.
Finally, they will tighten their shoulder straps. The girl is already in pain. After the straps and shoulder straps on the corsets are tightened, their shoulders can't move at all.
If you don't try your best to make the ribs expand outward under the restriction of the corset, you can't complete the breathing needed to continue your life. This will make her ribs contract less, and of course it will be accompanied by pain.
This kind of pain is like a hot knife inserted into both ribs, and every breath is accompanied by biting pain. Many girls will faint, and some mothers will relax their corsets. However, corset manufacturers suggest not unbuttoning their corsets, but squeezing their ribs deeper with their hands-artificial respiration, and using smelling salts in girls' nostrils to help them wake up.
If you want to take off your corset or relax yourself, it's impossible. In almost all styles, women's corsets have no hooks or any other form of front opening.
The only way to take them off is to loosen the strap at the back. Under the condition of strictly pulling the shoulder backwards and downwards, it is absolutely impossible to touch the dead rope buckle above the back-whether the rope buckle is sealed or not, so that the user can't take off the corset by himself. In most cases, girls sleep in corsets, and the next day, the mother only needs to cut the rope buckle, fasten it again and arrange the lace in a new position.
Therefore, the corset has never been relaxed or taken off, but it is getting tighter and tighter. In order to alleviate the girl's pain, the body will gradually adapt to the shape of the corset, and the mother only needs to tighten it constantly.
Wearing this bra, girls have to be "ladies"-slow and elegant, stand at attention like soldiers, and eat like birds. Don't eat too much, don't run and jump, and don't sit in a chair lazily.
At that time, there was a scene of girding her waist in Gone with the Wind-Hao Sijia grabbed the bedpost hard and asked the maid to help her gird her waist a little thinner. This is the scene in the movie. Compared with the real ancient European women, the film can be called "bucket waist". What was the waist circumference in Europe at that time? The standards set by European courts in different periods will be slightly different, but there is a traditional waist standard among the people-a girl should be able to hold her waist with her hands. The most severe period standard is thirteen inches (33.03 cm); During the reign of Elizabeth I, the standard was relaxed to 18 (45.72 cm) to 20 (50.8 cm) inches, but later it returned to 14 inches (35.56 cm).
The court standard set by Catherine de Medici of France is fourteen inches. Children who are eight or nine years old can't stand this kind of pain, and girls who start to develop at the age of thirteen or fourteen are also very painful to be tied in the waist. Many children try their best to untie or cut short the rope to make themselves breathe more smoothly, and the best time to relax their clothes is at night. Therefore, there are various methods of bed binding.
Mrs. Admore's memoir Slave of Fashion tells how she slept with her hands tied behind her back. From the age of nine, when she began to wear corsets, her knees and ankles were tied when she slept. In this way, her cousin and sister were tied to sleep. If someone complains, her stepmother will punish the complaining person the next day, and her arms will be tied behind her all day.
For more than a year, Mrs. Admore's arms were tied every day. In order to punish more complaints, she also wore a punishment mask-the mute mask for the blind. Masks are usually made of soft leather and cover the whole head and face. This mask has no openings for eyes and mouth.
Some masks have fillers in their ears, which will make the wearer unable to hear the sound. It is very effective to use a few hours of nervous time without sight, hearing and sound to suppress rebellious girls. Some schools insist that all girls use this mask when they sleep, so they can't communicate in bed at night.
Because European aristocratic women sell corsets well for the beauty of slim waist and rich buttocks, with the progress of science and technology, a large number of hard and flexible whale bones and baleen are embedded in corsets and skirts. Since then, a whaling company has been established in the Netherlands, and maids on land have become natural enemies of whales in the sea. In this respect, whales are really the most innocent animals.
What is the corset of European women? Similar to China's foot binding.
The belt originated in the court. Unofficial history said that Queen Josephine was having an affair and was pregnant. In order to hide her eyes and ears, she took a piece of cloth and wrapped it around her abdomen, but it held it high, with fashionable low-cut clothes. * * * is clearly visible and has become a trend for a while. Men think that girding the waist forms a shocking image just to arouse lewdness and lust, but women think it is convenient to display jewelry. On the eve of the appearance of bras, upper-class women were still oppressed by boards, whale bones and leather corsets.

Behind the elegant luxury and graceful bee waist of European classical long skirts, there is a bigger bad habit, that is, hurting women's waist. Too tight waist will change people's ribs and bones, leading to death.
Waist girdling provides a "second skeleton" for women, helping them to shape a posture that meets the requirements of the times and status. There is a whale bone, wood, ivory, horn or metal brace in the middle of the French corset to keep it straight. In Europe in the19th century, any dignified woman must wear this kind of corset underwear, and women are oppressed by boards, whale bones and metal bars all day long.

Europe's girdle Why is the old picture of Europe's girdle "The king of Chu has a thin waist and starved to death in his palace?"
Allusions come from sentences in the title. It is said that King Chu Ling likes people with thin waists. At first, the women in the palace longed for the king's favor in order to slim their waists. Later, in order to please the monarch, the scholar-officials of Chu began to slim down and go on a diet to lose weight. They are too hungry to stand up.
The civil and military capital of the Qing Dynasty was yellow and thin: people sitting on mats had to hold the wall to stand up, and people sitting in carriages had to lean against the stones to stand up. Everyone wants to eat, who dares not to eat.
In Europe, the tighter the waist is tied, the thinner it looks and the fuller it looks, so women at that time were also eager for waist-binding, because such a chest and thin waist were very attractive to men. Men think that girding is just to arouse lewdness, while women think it is to facilitate the display of jewelry.
On the eve of the appearance of bras, upper-class women were still oppressed by boards, whale bones and leather corsets. If they dare to take off their bras and relax their posture, they will be considered morally pathetic.
Why were the waists of ancient European women so thin? When we watch TV, we always see some aristocratic women in ancient Europe. Their skirts are as big as flower trays, and their waists are particularly thin. It seems that they can be grasped with one hand.
This is actually because women with status in Europe are required to gird their waists. They usually use templates or metal sheets to fix their waists, and then tie them up with tie bags. In order to show the curves of the waist and buttocks, they often have difficulty breathing. This has also led to their unhealthy lungs and prone to respiratory diseases. Many women are strangled directly because they are too tight.
The positioning of beauty will change in different countries and different times, but this one is universally applicable. People everywhere think that a slim waist is a beauty at any time. Once, a French queen made a corset made of metal to squeeze out the mistress, which made her waist shrink to 40 cm, successfully gained favor and gave birth to her first prince.
In addition to external tools to gird the waist, in order to keep fit, ancient European women often used the method of eating tapeworms to make this parasite consume food in the body, so that they were not afraid to eat too much.
