Child’s Corset Waist 1890-1910 The McCord Museum Ever since women began wearing stays, girls wore their own version of them. A corset like this one would be worn to help keep a young girl’s posture, and as she got older, prepare her for the tiny waists of tight-lacing. Victorian dresses often have such tiny waists because the young woman who wore the dress would have been tightening her waist all her life. -- source link
