Dispelling Victorian myths: boots before corset

Just a short feature this month as I am too busy fnishing the Victorian Dressmaker book :-)

Here we are testing the old saying of ' Always boots before corset' - and ad hoc film we shot during our recent visit to Bath. Not the best quaity, but hope it demostrated the point!

A DISCLAIMER
Please note that this video is not a recommendation or a suggestion that you should try the same - it simply highlights the fact, that what is possible for some people, may not be comfortable for others. YOu should always listen to your body and treat it with respect - if you are flexible naturally, that is great ( I do a lot of sports, so flexibility is a side effect), but if not - do not try to force your body to do things you are not used to, especially if you are suffering from back injuries etc. If you want to improve your flexibility for whatever reasons, do get a professional advice how to do it safely!
