C&C is not set in a one-to-one equivalent of any time period in our world but I'm a big old nerd about historical costuming and like grabbing elements from it that I feel work in the setting. What Maggie's trying on here is based on half stays a la paresseuse, which I've wanted an excuse to work into something for a while now, I think they're neat!

I was a bit worried about Technically Showing Undergarments On-Panel but I did want to establish at some point in canon that Maggie wears padding to get closer to the figure she wants. Depicting the effort that goes into looking the way you want feels important to me lately.
