The Corset Never Left: The Beauty Lie We Still Wear

For centuries, women laced themselves into corsets in pursuit of the "perfect" figure. Today, we look back and wonder...How could they do that to themselves? But what if we've been asking the wrong question? In this episode of The Beauty Lie, we uncover the surprising history of the corset—and explore why its influence may never have truly disappeared. From Victorian fashion to modern shapewear, social media filters, cosmetic procedures, and impossible beauty standards, this isn't just a story about history. It's a story about us. Was the corset really the problem? Or did it simply become invisible? Join us as we explore how beauty standards have changed over the centuries—and why the pressure to conform may be stronger than ever. The Beauty Lie is a documentary series that uncovers the hidden stories, forgotten histories, and cultural myths that have shaped the way women see beauty, value, and themselves.
