What is a corset?

A corset is a type of garment that is worn tightly around the torso to shape and support the body. Traditionally made of stiff material, such as whalebone or steel, corsets are designed to cinch in the waist and lift the bust, creating an hourglass figure. They were popular in the Victorian era and were worn as an undergarment, often covered by a dress or blouse. Today, corsets are still worn for fashion and for waist training, which involves wearing a corset for extended periods of time to gradually reduce the waist size. While some corsets are designed to be worn for extended periods, others are worn for special occasions or as a statement piece. They come in a variety of styles, including overbust and underbust, with different lacing and closure options.

How to lace a corset

Lacing a corset can seem daunting, but with a bit of practice, it's easy to master. Start by loosening the laces completely and placing the corset around your torso. Begin lacing from the middle of the corset and work your way up, pulling the laces tight as you go. Once you reach the top, return to the middle and work your way down, tightening the laces evenly on both sides. Be sure to adjust the lacing as necessary to achieve a comfortable fit, and tie the ends of the laces into a secure knot or bow at the bottom of the corset. With a properly laced corset, you should feel supported and cinched in, but still able to breathe comfortably.

How to style a corset

A corset can be a statement piece that adds drama and elegance to any outfit! To style a corset, start by considering the occasion and the level of formality required. For a formal event, pair an overbust corset with a maxi skirt or gown for a glamorous and sophisticated look. For a more casual look, layer an underbust corset over a blouse or t-shirt and pair with jeans or a skirt. To add edge to your outfit, choose a corset with intricate detailing, like lace, studs or leather, and pair with bold accessories like chunky boots or statement jewelry. You can also use a corset to add shape to an oversized shirt or dress by layering it on top. Whatever your style, remember that a corset is a versatile and attention-grabbing piece that can add a touch of glamour or edge to any outfit!
