My grandmother was born during the last decade of the 19th century. She hated wearing corsets because the undergarment restricted her breathing. Still, at the insistence of my great-grandmother, my grandmother wore corsets to achieve the-then fashionable "hourglass" figure. My grandmother abandoned the wearing of corsets during the 1920's, when women wore looser-fitting dresses.
