I've done some work making and fitting historical style corsets on to women of today. I'd like to explore the 1920s flapper period when it was fashionable to be completely flat.
To achieve the flat look girls took to wearing flattener bras or binding their breasts. Although I've worked in historical costume and corsets I've never tried the 1920s. Does anyone here have experience of flattening their breasts? Is there a long term effect? Looking at other threads here we seem to have a very wide range of opinions and experience - so I hope someone can help.
I'm not sure who run this forum, but thank you for making it so interesting.
