ClockworkFaerie :
no bc these are totally different than the victorian one i showed:) these 1905 ones are using bias stretch and straight grain strategically to let some areas stretch (hi hip and ft waist) but not others (back and side front).

bias. the bias will definitely affect how an item moves, or doesn't move, or fray.

NewYorkTeddy :
(This is my theory because there’s no difinitive answer) It’s to create stretch in the panel… a lot of the time the Victorian era would follow the tension of the garment allowing for stretch in areas that needed it and stability where it’s needed

These pieces have something physically structuring them

When you drape a corset on a mannequin, some panels just need to flow over multiple curves per panel. So cutting on the bias to some degree will help each panel curve around the body better.

They may be drafted for the waistline to be on the straight grain

I'm working from an extant pattern that doesn't have waist tape and that one needs the grain line to be perpendicular to the waistline in order for the pattern to work correctly and be comfortable. So, it's less about the bust area and more about the waist. the side breast panels are slightly off grain to give a little stretch around that curve and move with changes in the body (at least that's what I've figured out through the seven mockups 😅)
