Corsets that functioned to narrow the waist to noticeable extremes were not used until the Victorian Era. During the 17th century, women wore stays that mainly functioned to support the breasts and to provide a foundation for heavy garments that were typical of the era to drape upon. Tight-lacing that was seen during the Victorian Era would not be possible in these garments, as the holes for the laces were hand-sewn, and would tear if under too much strain.
