You can blame
Bridgerton for the corset’s unlikely resurrection — the Netflix series is so eye-poppingly beautiful that it was only a matter of time before fans went mad for the look.
With a reported costume budget of millions and 7,500 dresses seen on screen in the first season alone,
Bridgerton’s freshly modern period style was destined to create a fashion moment of its own.
According to eBay UK, searches for Regency-inspired clothes and interiors details, including decorative headbands, tea-sets and corsets, have skyrocketed since the show’s debut on Christmas Day.
Corsets, the online auction house reveals, specifically have seen a 39pc increase in searches.
