On Sarah A. Chrisman’s twenty-ninth birthday, her husband, Gabriel, presented her with a corset. The material and the design were breathtakingly beautiful, but her mind immediately filled with unwelcome views. Although she had been in love with the Victorian era all her life, she had specifically asked her husband not to buy her a corset—ever. She’d heard how corsets affected the female body and what they represented, and she wanted none of it. However, Chrisman agreed to try on the garment . . . and found it surprisingly enjoyable. The corset, she realized, was a tool of empowerment—not oppression. After a year of wearing a corset on a daily basis, her waist had gone from thirty-two inches to twenty-two inches, she was experiencing fewer migraines, and her posture improved. She had successfully transformed her body, her dress, and her lifestyle into that of a Victorian woman—and everyone was asking about it. In Victorian Secrets, Chrisman explains how a garment from the past led to a change in not only the way she viewed herself, but also the ways she understood the major differences between the cultures of twenty-first-century and nineteenth-century America. The desire to delve further into the Victorian lifestyle provided Chrisman with new insight into issues of body image and how women, past and present, have seen and continue to see themselves.

Stays and Corsets: Historical Patterns Translated for the Modern Body goes a step beyond traditional historical costuming texts by not only providing you with historical pattern diagrams and information, but by showing you how to adapt these patterns to the contemporary body shape. Using her original pattern-drafting system, author Mandy Barrington will show you how to draft a historical pattern for a modern body shape, while still retaining an accurate historical silhouette. Each pattern has been generated from an original stay, corset, or pattern taken from a historical garment. The instructions to follow these new patterns are designed to accommodate any size of female figure, allowing you to avoid extremely difficult, time consuming, and inaccurate historical pattern re-sizing Requiring only basic prior knowledge of pattern drafting, all calculations have been worked out for the costume maker and are provided in simple tables accompanied by easy-to-read, step-by-step diagrams that clearly show how the historical pattern is plotted onto the female basic block, coupled with photographs of the constructed stays and corsets.

He was so handsome she could barely breathe. Or maybe it was just the corset… When Tessa is asked to join A Month in the LIfe of a Victorian Duke, a British historical reality tv show, she was thrilled because it meant an end to her debts. But then she found out about the corsets she'd be stuffed into every day for a month. No woman in her right mind would consent to such a thing, would they? Especially not one with an abundance of curves. What was even more horrifying was the expectation that she would pretend to be the wife of a complete stranger. Max Edgerton was a man who wanted to give his withdrawn daughter a change of scene, and didn't expect much more than an amusing month pretending to be his distant ducal ancestor. But then he met his TV "wife" Tessa, and all bets were off. While Tessa's delectable self enticed him, it was her shining spirit and wacky sense of humor that kept him at her side. With cameras revealing every embarrasing act...and passionate kisses...all the cast members live with no cell phones, no televisions, and no PMS medication. But when the production comes under attack, Tessa and Max must find a way to navigate not only the complicated threads of their blossoming romance, but the scheme to take them all down. In a manor in which everyone must strictly follow the Victorian lifestyle, things are bound to go wrong. Like when some harmless lust turns into that other thing… Love was definitely not in the contract. “Reality TV has never been more entertaining than here as the wickedly funny MacAlister has her heroine record her hilarious experiences with a quirky cast of characters and her passionate encounters with Max in a laughter-laced diary that is a saucy, sexy delight.” —Booklist “Offbeat and wacky. . . . MacAlister has outdone herself with this reality show run amok. Tessa and Max are funny, sexy, and slightly poignant—a true match.” —Romantic Times BookClub “An enjoyable contemporary romance . . . The story line is fun to follow. . . . Fans will enjoy this entertaining anachronistic look at displacement as the modern crowd struggles with life just over a century ago.” —The Best Reviews
