In the Mythconceptions column of FT 383 there's a reader query, did Victorian women really faint because their corsets were too tight, or is it a myth? I don't know how you would test this, I've heard the story for years but now I think of it, not from anything contemporary to the Victorians. So did those delicate flowers really get the vapours?
