The modern day corset
When you think corsets you might think of underwear or more
specifically movies where you see the mother painfully tightening the strings
of their daughters corsets (Titanic).
But corsets
have evolved greatly since the 18th century. They are no longer an oppression instrument
and they are making a comeback. Whilst they
have long been enjoyed as an erotic undergarment, they are becoming more increasingly
popular as tops worn with jeans, or skirts.

Corsets, now rarely used for waist training and purely for fashion, have become more comfortable with less boning, more versatile and more affordable. Although there is less boning, the modern day corset still creates the look or some may argue, the illusion of the beautiful hourglass figure, whilst allowing the wearer to still breathe.
So jump on the fashion train today - see the new corsets of today for yourself.
