Corsets
Corsets were originally designed as an undergarment to accentuate curves by minimizing the size of the waist and thus increasing the appearance in size of the bust and hips (hourglass figure).
Corsets are not longer worn simply to define a woman’s shape. Neither is a corset worn only as an undergarment. Any fashionista will know that a corset is a current fashion must have. There is an almost endless choice of styles, colours and fabrics. When teamed with a beautiful full length skirt a corset will make an elegant entrance at a wedding worn by the blushing bride. A similar statement is made when worn to a ball or prom event. For a less formal occasion a corset can just as easily be worn with jeans or a short skirt…… and in the bedroom…….. is it every man’s erotic fantasy?
