A corsetmaker is a specialist tailor who makes corsets. Corsetmakers are frequently known by the French equivalent terms corsetier (male) and corsetière (female). Stay-maker is an obsolete name for a corsetmaker. The word ''corset'' replaced the word ''stays'' after the Great Exhibition in 1851, because a prizewinning type of French stay was called the ''Hygienic Corset''.〔our Hygienic Corset, it is either pirated or attempted by almost every staymaker in London and Paris〕 The best corsetmakers are highly skilled tailors with a knowledge of anatomy that enables them to make well-fitting, long-lasting corsets. Corsetmakers who reproduce historical styles must be familiar with historical fashions and costumes that span centuries of history. Individual corsetmakers often favour a certain style, and frequently have differing theories and opinions about the physical impact and benefits of various corsets, thereby influencing their corset design and creation. ==Famous corsetmakers== *Roxey Ann Caplin.〔MADAME CAPLIN'S INVENTIONS FOR THE ADAPTATION OF THE DRESS TO THE BODY; THE PRESERVATION OF HEALTH; The Cure of Deformity, and the Display of Beauty.〕 *Catherine Allsop Griswold, a Connecticut corsetmaker who held thirty patents, the most of any woman in America at the time.〔http://www.americanheritage.com/articles/magazine/it/1992/1/1992_1_22.shtml〕〔(Most prolific women inventors - 1790-1895 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「corsetmaker」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
