Please don't take this as a critique of the pattern or its authors: it looks pretty well made, and historical clothing is not their job or interest, and that's perfectly fine.
However. This phrase.

“It seems Marie Antionette is continuing to affect fashion, centuries after the fact. Casual corsets have returned full swing in 2021 and we’re absolutely loving it.”

Mix the hyperfeminity of this corset sewing pattern with an edgy long dress, skirt, or even an oversized button-down and straight-cut jeans!

a flowing, unstructured, comfy garment (which may have been worn on top of structured underwear, just like today we don't usually wear non-structural tops without a bra: https://thedreamstress.com/2018/02/what-do-you-wear-under-a-chemise-a-la-reine-2-0/) which was a reaction to being expected to dress like this:

i.e. heavily structured garments meant to show a big bust / small waist / big hips ratio, or, with certain significant shape differences, what corsets are designed for.
