    So "comfortable" spanx have replaced "painful" corsets? Ha. I've never heard anyone say spanx are comfortable in the least. And as someone who has personally worn and researched historical corsets I can say that they are actually very comfortable and supportive. Sheesh. The misinformation.
  • @eleonore59830
    VOGUE already existed when corsets were still a daily item, this is so embarrassing for y'all lmao
  • @rubywolf1900
    Man this is sort of embarrassing for them considering how long vogue has been around. Especially considering how influential they are you would think they could hire an actual dress/corset historian. I wear corsets fairly frequently and am actually considering replacing my bra with one so I can say they are amazing and comfortable when you get a well sized corset. I am excited for the YouTube costume and historical sewing community to react.

    It’s so sad that Vogue can’t hire a proper Dress Historian and has to rely on incorrect Wikipedia articles for research.
  • @Bane_Amesta
    Is so sad that YT decided to hide the dislikes, I need to see the massacre on this absolute mess of a video
  • @jzmn2828
    This video is 1: Not historically accurate 2: Perpetuates lies and myths made up by the patriarchy 3: Has NO resources 4: Makes actual historians want to scream
  • @andinarizkia
    I am SO HAPPY with this comment section. Really, the fact that people are starting to get educated about corsets and get upset over the misinformation that vogue spread feels really great.
  • @SandraSoapbox
    I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of fashion historians suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.
  • @themurrrr
    Vogue needs an: everything you need to know about doing proper research
  • @JM-wt4bf
    I didn't know Vogue was branching out into fiction publishing as well as fashion.
  • @danielblair5970
    How can you be a fashion company and get nearly EVERYTHING about this so wrong? This is just sad.
  • @thatshotluv8792
    I am honestly so disappointed in Vogue. They clearly didn’t do any research for this video, as 90% of the facts and some images presented are wildly incorrect or were taken out of context. They’re such a professional brand, so I don’t understand why this video is so off in its facts and evidence, and presents a false narrative of corsets being an anti feminist sentiment that men used to control them, and how they bring stays and Marie Antoinette into this.
  • @lauren-el8ne
    It really disappoints me that Vogue is so influential and has created this video. They could have easily got amazing resources! If you can hold an entire party at the met then you can at least look at their resources and examine the proper history of the garment and explain the true facts about the corset and yet like so many others, they have added to the dangerous myths of the corset.
  • @MossyMozart
    I am bitterly disappointed that "Vogue", the go-to reliable source for fashion, has chosen to release this error-filled video. Did Anna Wintour sign off on this? If so, her reputation as well as that of "Vogue" has been flushed down the loo. Is there not a research department? Did not an editor review the video before release? It seems like a number of people at "Vogue" are responsible for this colossal failure. It will take a long while for the public to trust their "scholarship" again.
  • @rcantu1204
    I love wearing corsets. If you get one fitted to your measurements and made specifically for you, they are not uncomfortable at all.
  • @Siansonea
    Okay, so maybe Teen Vogue will come through with the actual journalism on this subject?
  • @Yyyvesyea
    i can hear the historians screaming now
  • @DD-gl3gx
    Love seeing all the fellow members of the Catherine de Medici Time Travel Society
  • I can already see The Costube Community coming and burning the Vogue building down for this "corsets" of the 17th-century corsets and one size fits all: let's explain corsets to society haha
  • @daffo595
    THIS IS WHY YOUTUBE SHOULDN’T REMOVE THE DISLIKE BUTTON. Absolute waste of time clicking in to watch 5 minutes of nonsense and giving them unnecessary views when just seeing the dislike bar would be enough for me to leave and look for a better informed YouTuber’s video.
