Public call to revive the corset
May 17, 2007 
A public poll has shown the UK's renewed love for the corset when it was named as one of the top ten things from the past that Brits would like to bring back into everyday use.
The corset was named as the fifth most popular item that British people would like to see revived from a museum, only beaten by the Routemaster bus, the steam train, rocking horses and telegrams.
In a survey by the Campaign for Museums, the wind-up gramophone, ink pens, penny farthing bicycles, pocket watches and slate boards were all among things that people wanted to see join the corset back in use in daily British life.
Corset-fans Kate Moss and Kylie Minogue were both named as the people who should be preserved in a museum to represent the face of 2007, with Kate topping the poll and Kylie coming sixth.
