I am a folklorist/ethnologist from Iceland focusing on the national costumes.<br />It's right Roman that we did not wear corsets back then as people know today, but the upphlutur served that purpose in the Faldbúningur. It is not as tight as a corset is but it worked as a kind of a bra/corset back then. In other words, it was their underwear which later became a seperate and indepentent costume as Roman pointed out in their other blog about that costume.<br /><br />Great job on these blog posts BTW, it's always fun to see other people work to inform others on national costumes.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05316663584880461051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5790425923241370525.post-68690351096817739212020-06-07T12:48:49.938-05:002020-06-07T12:48:49.938-05:00I do not know for sure, but I very much doubt it C...I do not know for sure, but I very much doubt it Corsets were never part of traditional country attire, but were a facet of pop culture, City Fashion. <br />Women in Europe who adhered to traditional dress did not wear them either.
