ˈkɔːsɪtləsˌnəsExamples
“Yet six years later, this trade⟳ journal expressed a decided panic about corsetlessness.”
“Actual corsetless dresses arrived only in 1908, from a French designer, and the debate⟳ over foundation garments continued into the 1920s, with a lingerie makers' counter-attack about the evils of corsetlessness in 1921.”
“The identification and exploitation of corsetlessness as an evil fad not only bolstered support⟳ among those whose livelihoods depended upon the continuing use⟳ of the corset but also armed the industry with the weapon of ideology.”
