This article is currently in very poor shape - I'm not sure it needs to be a separate article from corset. Specifically, I would like to see references - particularly for the assertion that they were worn as anti-assassination devices (how many medieval and Renaissance women had to worry about being assassinated?!), but also I would like to see references defending the historical existence and use of metal corsets: I had understood that, like chastity belts, the existing examples are of Victorian provenance.

I agree this article should be merged into corset -- Bettinaisabel ( talk) 19:52, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
I don't know how many scholars still believe that they were used specifically as corsets. There's the corset cover theory, but there's also the medical theory found here: http://books.google.com/books?id=uk6I0-MDXVQC&pg=PA5&lpg=PA5&dq=iron+corset&source=bl&ots=zYI7Rld56V&sig=QZSJy5v1E7GTaphEHG6SU3eRG3M&hl=en&sa=X&ei=ec54T4-OF4rGtgfhlKWNDw&ved=0CD8Q6AEwAjgU#v=onepage&q=iron%20corset&f=false (Sorry about the long URL. Wikipedia wouldn't let me post the shortened one for some reason.) It definitely doesn't need its own page, but I don't know if it should be merged into corset. Kate ( talk) 22:14, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
Just noting that an article rescue and total rewrite has been carried out as of September 2015. The previous article was extremely unacceptable, including serious copyvio. Mabalu ( talk) 13:15, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I'll review this article. FunkMonk ( talk) 23:00, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
Firstly - not sure why I only got notified of this 3 days later... strange.
I have merged the sections, which actually seems to work better and more cohesively.
Agreed, 1944 is still first half of 20th century, but agree it is more mid-20th.
