We tested the Enola Holmes corset stab and The Nevers corset slash and...well. You'll see.
Obviously we tried it on a dummy, not a real person, because that would be ludicrous. Thanks to Kiss Me Deadly for the corset test patch! You can find them on RU-vid: / kissmedeadlylingerie

If you do get stabbed in a corset, DO NOT TAKE IT OFF BEFORE YOU GET TO THE HOSPITAL. The corset does a better job of applying pressure to limit blood loss than bystanders can! See: Elisabeth, empress of Austria and Hungary

Me, who has never and shall probably never require protection from stabbing

I am a science teacher and I used your original "can you fight in a corset?" Video for my students as an example of scientific method but not science. (Answers the "when am I ever going to use this?" Question). Love that I now have a Chapter 2.

There are several fascinating newspaper clippings from the early 20th century that report cases of corsets (somewhat) protecting the wearer from deep stabs from stalkers or during domestic disputes. Some of them do mention surface wounds, but not lethal wounds. I was pleasantly surprised that Enola Holmes would take inspiration from these as I was half expecting the same tired narrative.

there is also something else to consider Lindhorn was using a knife of a different shape AND Enola grabs his wrist it's POSSIBLE both of those factors would change things

What I love about the books is that, after Cutter (the villain in the first novel) tried stabbing Enola to death and fails, he did slash the side enough to expose some of the steel tips. She uses that later to cut herself free when she is tied up. And in all of the subsequent books, she wears that same corset every time she goes sleuthing, adding a high necked collar that saves her from a garrot, and a dagger hidden in the bosom disguised as a brooch. Enola in the books is the most fashionable one-woman-swat-team in London.

I think I can add to this, my expertise is in textiles.

Knowing something of corset construction I found this fascinating even if the results are close to what I’d expect, though I’ll admit to being slightly surprised by how well the panelled corset stood up to the slashing!

You look at old dagger manuals, and there's quite a lot of stabbing and not a lot of slashing. Clothing is pretty good at stopping slashing attacks, there's even cases where Russians with heavy coats could withstand cuts from cavalry sabers.
