How cruel were ancient European women to themselves for their beauty?
In the past, girls in Europe were very beautiful with thin waists, which was a very interesting aesthetic, and of course it was a silent destruction to women. 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.

I used to look at the elegance and luxury of European classical long skirts, but I didn't expect this beautiful waist to be hard-won, and the graceful bee waist also reflected the same cruelty. This is the corset that mutilated women in European history.

Wearing a waist will change people's ribs and bones, and if it is too tight, it will kill people. A bride once held a funeral on her wedding day because she tied her waist. This is the most extreme and typical example. 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 will kill people, even if you don't use this tool: an iron skeleton, just dieting and slimming, and finally malnutrition and anorexia, many people died, so girding is a greater violation of human rights and should be strongly condemned.

When I watched Gone with the Wind, I found it interesting that the maid girded the heroine Scarlett. Moreover, the director is the actor who finalized the play "Girdling the Waist", which impressed me deeply. I don't know why people go to extremes like this, with smaller feet and thinner waist! So that it destroys people's bones and hurts people's psychology! Nothing more than a word "beauty", I am afraid the price paid is too high. Waist binding and foot binding, two abolished "beautiful" ways, make two different cultures have something in common.

Dior said, "If there were no plastic underwear, there would be no clothing industry." The so-called plastic underwear includes tights, bras, waist ties and so on. It provides a "second skeleton" for women and helps them build a posture that meets the requirements of the times and status. In Europe in the 19th century, any noble woman must wear this kind of underwear. Women are oppressed by boards, whale bones and metal bars all day long. Critics ridicule this as "tying the waist to the whale bone" or "pressing the breasts into cakes, and soon, even the breathing stinks", which is very easy to get lung disease!

Remember Vivien Leigh who charmed all the men in Gone with the Wind? She is so charming only because the corset creates a sexy S-shaped curve for her, and the maid at home tightens the belt behind the corset, which is why ladies and gentlemen are so charming in front of them. The popular S-curve still drives men and women crazy. Back to a physiologically healthier size.
