Many centuries ago, secular ladies did not appearyourself, how can you go out in public without such a detail of the toilet as a shaping corset. Any dress, even the simplest home one, was equipped with a certain number of "bones" that held the posture and allowed you to tighten the waist to the set standards. Today, oddly enough, the fashion for these amazing products has returned. More and more often you can meet beautiful girls in shaping corsets in offices, at parties and holidays. The most amazing thing is that, despite the sophistication of this wardrobe detail and the inconvenience that it sometimes causes, corsets have become not only festive clothing, but have also taken root well as an everyday accessory for romantic natures. So what is the charm of this item of clothing? What types of shaping corsets are there, and how to wear them? Let's figure everything out in order.
Types of corsets
Shapewear corsets differ not only inshape, but also by material and type of fastener. Most modern corsets and bodices are sewn on the basis of regilin or plastic bones. Real corsets are made on a more rigid material, such as whalebone, which is very rare these days, and metal "bones". It is unlikely that you will be able to find such a product in a regular store. As a rule, a good tightening corset is sewn to order, taking into account the individual features of the figure of the future owner. The shapes of tightening corsets are so diverse that it would take too long to describe everything, but the main models are still worth listing.
- Belt corsage
A low bodice that serves more as adecorative purposes rather than for tightening. It may look like a wide laced belt. It looks great with all kinds of full skirts, trousers, jeans, etc. It can be worn over a simple dress to accentuate the waist and visually emphasize the chest.
- Corset «under the chest»
The most common type of corsets, whichcovers the stomach and rises exactly to the chest, thus creating not only a seductive waist, but also advantageously emphasizing the bust. You can wear such a tightening corset with both dresses and shirts. It looks especially beautiful in combination with a classic pencil skirt and a thin blouse.
- Corset "on the chest"
The difference between this shapewear corset and others isthat it completely covers the chest and can be worn both in combination with shirts and dresses, and as independent clothing. Such corsets are in perfect harmony with all sorts of scarves, capes, boleros, etc. This type of corset has a subtype, a shortened tightening corset "on the chest". Its essence is that it does not completely cover the chest, but only reaches its middle. Such tightening corsets look especially beautiful on girls with large breasts.
Types of corset fasteners
All shaping corsets and bodices are distinguished by the type of fasteners, they are:
- One-piece with one functional lacing behind;
- With two functional laces (rear and front);
- On a zipper (as a rule, these are corsages, since the crotch of the corset will not survive);
- With one functional lacing at the back and a buisk in the front (bussk is a special metal bar with hooks)
- With one functional lacing behind and simple hooks in front (again, these are corsages).
The number of lacings may vary, howeverfunctional only 2 (no more is needed). Women's lacing corsets are good because they allow you to adjust the tightening force and adjust the corset to your figure even after you have lost or gained a little weight. By the way, you are unlikely to gain weight in a corset, because due to the tightening, all the internal organs are pressed against each other, and the stomach can no longer accommodate the amount of food that you are used to eating at the festive table. So a corset is a great way to save yourself from heaviness and overeating!
