Best Answer

Upper and middle class Victorian ladies were certainly expected to wear corsets, (going without a corset would have been like going without a bra today) and working class women had cheaper, less rigidly boned alternatives. The fashion of tightlacing - wearing a corset with the smallest waist possible - was only practiced by a minority of ladies and contrary to popular belief was not a widespread practice. For most women, the corset was worn for good posture rather than to achieve a smaller waistline.
