- Corsets move your organs
- exaggerates different parts of the body: waist, breasts, hips
- I could exaggerate a different part of the body which is not normally exaggerated? shoulders?
- corsets very impractical, meant you weren't a worker, you had money. tighter the corset, more you couldn't move therefore the more money you had
- I could take something not tailored and tailor it to fit me/someone?
-need to look at how McQueen and Westwood designed their garments!!!
- could take some clothes apart and put them back together again to see how they fit etc
- decorate my corsets to see how they would look, rather than making one and it looking stupid- test out first!!
- look at bras --> support, pressure on shoulders etc
- contorted figures; ideals: skinny waist, big boobs, tall, hourglass
- high heels make your bum and boobs stick out by changing your posture
- look at distortion of the body ---> cosmetic surgery
- male tailoring for the female form?
- make my garment to change the female form, flatten boobs and bum, over sexualise something random like shoulders? knees?
I asked Matt what it feels like to wear a suit (kind of male equivalent to female corset?):
- nice
- love it
- head held high
- confidence
- uncomfy when sitting or reaching for things / lifting, feel a bit exposed if it rides up when reaching
a suit is like a high heel..?
