One would think that with the days of corsets long behind us, people would be only too eager to leave the past in the past; yet period dramas are as popular as ever, which at least keeps the corset business alive in the entertainment industry.
It would be perhaps interesting to focus a drama around some sort of mom and pop business that still makes the old-fashioned lingerie… and nothing else. Or perhaps it wouldn’t. Adding in a murder mystery element to the plot would certainly help, though, since I can’t imagine there’s be much interest in a couple hours of watching workers sew fabric together using the same designs that were used over 200 years ago.
Still, it’d make for a unique setting.
