    In “Corset Myths,” which lacks Comment fill-ins, Item 2 contains an “all of the above” answer that is not located at the bottom of the list.

    And item 7 says it’s True that Victorian women’s rate of maternal death was 10% higher than today’s. I think it was higher, as antibiotics weren’t available, etc.

      I really enjoyed taking these! It was great getting the additional tidbits of knowledge, and was quite gratifying to see just how much I’ve learned since discovering your content and joining the amazing corseting community.

      Thank you for helping support me (pun intended) as I started my corseting journey years ago. Your work helped me find another amazing tool to deal with my chronic pain and back issues. I can be a better mother and live a more fulfilling life because of my corsets, and your site and videos were the biggest resource I had, so you’ve literally changed my life. Thank you dearly ❤️

        Worked well this time. Didn’t do as well as I had hoped though I thought that some of the multiple answer questions should not be a total wrong if you got most of the answers correct.
