Lingerie article, the Corset has been with us for years. Below is an article that explains the corset a little more.
Corsets - To Cinch Or Not To Cinch? by: Wendy Yeager
Up through the Victorian Ages, corsets were very popular with women.
Corsets were worn to reduce waist size. A tiny waist made for an attractive
figure. Corsets were made from different materials over the years, including:
stiffened linen, wood, whalebone, and wrought iron. Corsets were designed to
cinch up very tightly in the back in order to restrict the waist size.
Corsets also restricted movement, forcing a straighter posture. It was
shameful for women to show any pain or discomfort felt by the severely tight
corsets. Unfortunately, many women were not strong enough to endure the
punishment of the tight corsets and would experience numbness in their body,
trouble breathing, fainting, and even cracked ribs.
Luckily for us women, somebody decided corsets had to go! Today corsets
are designed to be both beautiful and functional.
Some corsets are tailored in a camisole style and are made of flexible
material which is comfortable for daywear. They are very comfortable under
clothing, yet still accentuate curves. Other corsets are more appropriate for
evening wear. Many of these corsets feature boning for shaping and contoured
cups. Some are waist cinching and lace snugly up the back, while others have
seams down the front replicating the vintage corset look.
Corsets can be found as a camisole style or as longer ones which can be
worn with garters and thigh high stockings. Most corsets are made from
beautiful fabrics and sheer lace. They are available in a variety of colors,
including: white, ivory, pink, blue, lavender, red and black. So, whether you
want a corset to make you feel pretty and demure or just want one for comfort
and body shaping, theres a corset just right for you!
