Six sets of corset stays were found at the Ganin pit, which accounts for Alexandra, her four daughters, and the maid Demidova - exactly six women. Since the clothing that each was wearing on the night of the murder was burned, each of the six must have been wearing a corset. I, too, have read that Alexandra considered going without a corset "indecent," and so wonder at a post elsewhere in these threads in which the author stated that Alexandra did not wear corsets. The shape of many, if not all, of the dresses featured here on this thread suggest a corset - especially those dresses of the 1890s and early 1900s.
