You may want to hit the SCA (society for creative anachronisms) website and try a couple of their links for research and sources.
Or not!
It could save you a lot of weeding though.
Speaking of corsets squishing you "up", be prepared for clevage you did not know you had and wear it proudly m'dear. Also: breathe from your birthin' place, you can't expand your chest so you need to let everything go with gravity. Soft stomach. Try lying on your back on the floor and placing a book on your bellybutton, then make the book go up and down while you inhale and exhale. That's the spot you're aiming for. If you try to do the chest breathing that everyone is used to you will quickly hyperventilate and pass out.
That book trick I got from a vocal coach trying to teach me how to breathe while singing.
I never knew it would come in so very handy. You use it in yoga too!
More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
No one can see their reflection in running water. It is only in still water that we can see.

Oh goody!! You'll be fine then!
Sorry, I have no idea who you are or what you know and I tend to presume the wearing of functional corsetry and abdominal breathing to be rather esoteric to most. If it came up in everyday conversation on a regular basis I would not have tried to help.
Sodding off now.

You don't have to sodd off!
If I try really hard (since I am so very out of practice) I can get a little circular breathing in, too. Not that that's very useful unless I'm trying to hold a note forever or play the digeridoo.
