I wear corsets daily and I've just begun to wonder how on Earth did Ripper get through these things? They're solid. Is there an explanation I've missed?

Hi Tani
simple: none of the victims were wearing corsets.
Their garments were listed by the police. They were typically wearing a bodice, a chemise and similar.
I haven’t looked at prices but I imagine a corset world be much more expensive and generally for the middle and upper classes.

As they were short they were not like a regular corset.
As I understand it, short stays covered only the abdomen.
In other words, does this indicate the Ripper underestimated the defensive attributes of Nichol's attire that covered her abdomen and this then resulted in the Ripper leaving the scene without achieving his goal of eviscerating her like he does subsequently with Chapman, Eddowes and Kelly?
Does this hint at inexperience on the part of the man who attempted to cut open Nichol's abdomen?
And could Nichol's relatively minimal abdominal injuries in comparison to the Ripper's future victims, have not been because the Ripper was interrupted, but rather that he was unable to cut Nichols abdomen open like he had intended; through inexperience or inability to bring a blade sufficient for the job?Last edited by The Rookie Detective; 11-26-2024, 10:17 AM."Great minds, don't think alike"
