This is a VLOG about wearing a corset for 14 hours and putting myself through a lot of intense activities. In this video, I'll don a Regency-style corset like they should be wearing in Netflix's Bridgerton in response to a recent article from The Sun that stated networks like Netflix were banning corsets from period dramas like Bridgerton because of health and safety risks to the actors. Will I struggle to breathe? Will I get sores on my body? Or will I be perfectly fine? While this particular article was debunked, the myth that corsets are to blame for actors' injuries and discomfort still remains. And while some of my colleagues with more historical creds have already spoken out about this issue, I thought it'd be interesting to take it from a different angle. I'm an actor, classically trained dancer, and costume designer with more than 30 years' experience in the peforming arts industry. I thought I'd put myself through a day of activity that could compare to filming on a set for 14 hours. Having worked in both theater and film, I know the rigors of shooting, rehearsals, and what it's like to perform full out multiple times a day for an audience.
