Networks including Netflix, the BBC and ITV may be ditching corsets from period dramas like Bridgerton amid concerns of the short and long-term damage of wearing them on set.

‘Essentially, there were health and safety concerns about keeping women in a pinching corset for weeks at a time.’Simone Ashley was not a fan of wearing corsets in Bridgerton

They added: ‘In today’s increasingly woke world, it’s also not great optics to be encouraging women to have thinner waists.’ ‘It may well have been reflective of the time, but broadcasters and streamers want to be seen as progressive.’Bridgerton producers reportedly recently informed the cast that they would no longer be required to wear corsets, however Netflix did not confirm to Metro.co.uk if this was the case.

Sounds to me like they aren't fitting their corsets properly, they suffered more than a little bruising in the 17th century, I think actresses need to grown a backbone and suck it up.

long term damage? bruising? way to let us know you're not making and fitting the corsets properly
