Corsets changed at the end of the Regency Era to fit well under clothing, give maximum support and comfort. Corsets pushed up breasts and showed off the bust line beneath a square-cut and low-cut neckline as in the early 1800s, or Regency years. The Bridgerton ladies, Jane Austen and their female friends would have worn this type of soft wrap corset. https://books2read.com/SuziLoveCorsetBook17.
