Eyelets were invented in the early nineteenth century. In the eighteenth century the limit on how tightly a corset could be laced was the strength of the material: the laces under tension would tear through the holes made for them, and eventually the corset would burst open. When eyelets were fitted into the lace-holes they spread the load through the material, and it became possible to lace corsets tighter; the limit was now imposed by the strength of the lace.
