Metal corset

(

)

Iron corset engraved in 1893 by Saint-Elme Gautier

... that metal corsets (illustrated) probably served a medical purpose rather than being a "cruel, tortuous fashion" enforced by a dominant 16th-century queen?

5x expanded by Mabalu (talk). Self-nominated at 18:36, 30 September 2015 (UTC).

5x expansion checks due to copyrighted text being removed. Spot-checks finds no close paraphrasing or copyright violations. Online source checks; offline sources accepted in good faith. Image has appropriate licensing. I think your wikilink to Catherine de' Medici should encompass "dominant 16th-century queen", rather than just "queen", but up to you and the closer. Good to go.

Thank you for reviewing so quickly - wasn't expecting it to be done before I'd done my review! (which is done and added above). Mabalu (talk) 13:58, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

Also done the expanded wikilink thing, as I'm fine with that. Maybe this could be a Halloween hook as metal corsets do look like torture devices...! Mabalu (talk) 14:24, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
