Corsets, Old World Charm And Sexy Contemporary Styles
Corsets have been worn by women for thousands of years. In fact
the oldest corset dates back to ancient Minoans from around 2000
BC. When most people think of corsets they think of the heavy
bulky garments from the middle ages of Europe. Traditional
corsets were not only heavy, restrictive and very uncomfortable
to wear. As fabric technology has improved corsets are now not
only more comfortable but are being worn as outwear.
Most women don't own or have never worn a corset. However if
you're looking for a fashion garment that accentuates your
curves and bust line, a corset can be your best friend, so lets
take a closer look at what a corset is. A corset is garment that
covers your lower torso from bust line to waist. The sides have
curved shaped ribbing that gives your body the classic hourglass
shape. These ribs are usually made a thin lightweight metal or
hard plastic. While these ribs do push your body into certain
shapes, they aren't "trainer" corsets which pose health hazards
to your internal organs. To wear a corset first loosen the
strings which are located on the back of the garment. There is
usually a zipper in the front of the corset, unzip it and wrap
the garment around your torso. Align it so the strings are in
the back and close the zipper. Now grab the strings and gently
but firmly pull to tighten. Pull the strings until the corset is
snug and firm. Do not pull the strings so tight that you
can't
move or breathe comfortably. The first thing that you'll notice
is your bust line is now enhanced and you will probably be
showing more cleavage than you are used to. While this is normal
it does take some getting used to. Many women with a large bust
find a corset is more comfortable to wear, as it gives them more
support than a standard bra.
Most corsets fall into the category of intimate apparel. They
come in a wide variety of fabrics such as satin, silk, or lace
and an array of colors. You can find something that allows you
to be as modest or daring as you desire. If your corset comes
with a garter belt and stockings be sure to put on the stockings
before the corset, it's just easier. Corsets are also moving out
of the bedroom and being worn as outwear. There corsets are very
similar to traditional corsets but available in decorative and
luxurious fabrics. They may not be appropriate for a Monday
morning office staff meeting but are great for an informal party
or night at a club. If you've never worn a corset and would like
to try one start with an outwear corset first, they are
generally easier and more comfortable to wear.
