Corsets

Corsets were used in the Victorian era, where women wore these since young to accentuate their chest and hips. As pretty as it might seem, however, corsets deformed the organs inside them after a long period of wearing, and weakened the women who had them on since they were children. While this fits the Victorian standard of weak women, it was also highly inconvenient and dangerous, as the women might suffer from respiratory problems throughout their lives and have issues with childbirth. Furthermore, they were also restricting, and as the Victorian lady requires many layers of clothing, makes it inconvenient for them to undress.
