Yes, girls and women commonly wore corsets in the 1860s as part of their everyday attire. Corsets were designed to shape the waist and support the bust, reflecting the fashion ideals of the time. They were often made of sturdy materials and were laced tightly to achieve the desired silhouette, which was considered fashionable and desirable during that period.

In the 1860s, women wore tight corsets primarily to achieve the fashionable hourglass figure that emphasized a small waist and accentuated the bust and hips.

Despite their popularity, these garments often restricted movement and could have negative health effects.
