I always thought that “woman pulls something out of her cleavage” was really just sort of a cliche historically

But nope

I’m reading this incredibly niche book about the history of pockets, and there is a picture of a pair of stays from the 18th century that someone sewed a giant pocket inside of

It was apparently a big thing for women who wanted to keep their money safe or to steal it off of other people and hide it quickly

INCREDIBLE

Big-ass pockets in skirts AND pocket in your stays? And nowadays you can’t even keep spare change in pockets of your jeans. Something went horrible wrong at some point in history.

And yeah, you can store pretty impressive amount of things in your corset even without special pocket. Saying as a professional corsetmaker here.

that’s what you call a treasure chest
