Posted by Unknown on Friday, June 19, 2015

The process of binding feet (also known as "lotus feet") started before the arch had a chance to fully-develop – somewhere between the ages of 4 and 9.
After soaking in warm herbs and animal blood, the toes would be curled over to the sole of the foot and bound with cotton bandages.

The toes and arch would be broken with force. Unbound. Rebound. Rebound tighter. And repeat.
It was considered better to get someone who wasn't your mum to do it: they were less likely to bind them sympathetically loose.
