Corsets have long appeared in the life of women, but their popularity even now remains high. No element of women's wardrobe has such a long history as corsets. Deep down, every woman dreams of replenishing her wardrobe with such a sexy thing. So, maybe it's time to fulfill your wish? Surely after reading this article, you decide to take this step.

Story

The history of the corset begins with the days of ancient Greek culture. In that era, women dragged their figures down to a possible limit, trying to achieve a feminine and very refined silhouette.

The first corsets were made of cotton or flax. To make the product stiffness used bone made of wood or ivory.

The lacing of the first corsets was located solely on the back. It was excruciatingly painful to wear such items, they squeezed the chest very hard and held down movements. Women had to make great sacrifices in order to appear slimmer and more graceful.

Initially, women wore a wide belt, which is considered to be the progenitor of the corset. This element was used not only for decorative purposes, but also for protection. And there were the first corsets in women's and men's wardrobes.

European women began to use corsets in their images only at the end of XIII century. Their corsets had the shape of a wide belt that tightened the waist and supported the chest. With the onset of the 15th century, wasp waistline came into vogue. Women had to tighten their waists so much that the blood circulation was disturbed, the level of oxygen in the body decreased, and fainting became a frequent occurrence.

The modern corset has changed dramatically, it has become much more convenient and practical. He does not so tightly waist, does not squeeze the chest, maintains posture and distributes the load on the musculoskeletal system. In addition, corsets differ in purpose, shape, design and many other parameters.

What is it needed for?

The corset is considered a belt, which can have a different width. The mission of the corset is to correct the parameters of the body and support the chest. Inside the corset are elastic plates that allow you to tightly clasp the abdomen and chest in the lower part. In the design of the corset, lacing is necessarily present, which can be supplemented with hook-and-loop fasteners or zippers. If the corset is pulled off, then its shape will be like a sand-glass.

Although modern corsets are more thoughtful and gentle, it is not recommended to wear them regularly unless there is evidence from the doctor. Otherwise, you can cause irreparable harm to the body. From prolonged use of the corset, the muscles will weaken, which in the future provokes the formation of osteochondrosis, which further leads to radiculitis, protrusion of the intervertebral disks.

Pregnant women about corsets should be forgotten, as miscarriage can occur or fetal development is impaired.

Types and models

The popularity of corsets is not reduced, because designers are constantly working to create new types and models of such a female accessory. Corsets are divided according to several parameters and each of them will be considered by us.

Separation by purpose

  • The corset as underwear is not used every day, but is worn on exceptional occasions. No set of underwear can match in its beauty and sexuality with a corset. In such clothes always use lace, ruffles or sparkling elements. The corset as an underwear and body shape corrects, and makes the image captivating.
  • Corsets can also be used as an independent element of the image. The laconic design of such corsets allows you to wear them over dresses or blouses. In this case, the image will change dramatically. Brave young ladies choose leather corsets, which when combined with simple things give the image of dangerous sexuality. Also, everyday corsets can be worn directly on the body, making the figure more refined. Perhaps the most successful combination is based on the use of a corset, a blouse with lace elements and a long loose skirt.
  • Corset for the correction of the figure is a real salvation for women who are not enthusiastic about their parameters. It is the ability to adjust the shape, and give it the desired shape is most valuable in the corset. In most cases, such an item of clothing is purchased for just such purposes. When choosing such clothes you need to adhere to your size, and during operation you should not over-tighten the corset. Yes, and wear it for a long time is also not recommended.
  • Even for medical purposes used corsets. These are special, orthopedic models, which are also called orthoses. Such clothes can be worn to those people who have problems with the spine. With the help of orthoses, you can change the posture, remove some types of curvature, properly distribute the load on the musculoskeletal system.
  • Now more and more often you can hear about sports corsets that excite some, while others cause concern. Externally, these corsets are very similar to the element of conventional drag-on underwear. But in fact, sports corsets do not exert pressure on the internal organs, and wearing them is more comfortable and easier. Inside the sports corset there are flexible bones, and a special medical fabric is used as the material for creating such clothes.

Distribution by model:

  • The corset belt is worn at the waist and has a belt look that can vary in width. They can be extremely decorative or perform the function of adjusting the waist. With a large figure, the figure becomes ugly and disproportionate. Therefore, when choosing corrective corset belts, you need to realistically assess your body shape and the capabilities of such clothing.
  • The corset under the chest is inherently a very wide corset-belt, which is worn directly under the chest. With such a corset, you can adjust the shape, it will look beautiful and natural. Also, with the help of this item of clothing, you can straighten posture. Such corsets can often be found in ball gowns and underwear.
  • A corset with a half breast looks very tempting, as women often use. There are models that start at the waist, and there are corsets that come from the hips. Similar elements are often found in underwear, which is worn for sexy evening dresses. With the help of such clothes you can not only look sexy, but also make adjustments to the silhouette, straighten the figure and make the chest more magnificent.
  • A classic corset is a universal thing that suits every occasion. In every woman’s wardrobe, there should be such an element of clothing that will be actively used in everyday life and help out in special cases. Such corsets may begin at the waist or hips, but always end at the level of the middle of the chest.
  • The most popular Gothic models of corsets, which are independent clothing that does not require additions. The vast majority of Gothic corsets are created in dark colors.They must have lacing. Among the Gothic corsets stand out leather models, which are perfectly combined with the usual clothes (skirts, pants, jeans).
  • Garter corsets must be worn with stockings. Garters can be adjusted to the parameters of the body.
  • Body corset, corset-bustier, corset-waistcoats - all this is a form of slimming underwear, in which there are elements of a corset. The corrective underwear industry is developing rapidly, so new types of clothing are constantly emerging, which helps women to hide figure flaws.
  • Corsets with cups are often chosen by women whom nature has not rewarded with big breasts. Such corsets can be with a regular cup or push-up. For women with large breasts, such corsets should not be chosen. Firstly, it will be difficult to find a suitable size, and, secondly, the chest will simply “jump out” from the corset.

Lacing Distribution:

  • Corsets in which the lacing has a front layout are very comfortable to use. They are easy to dress and draw down to the required level without help. But quickly and imperceptibly to others to weaken it will not work.
  • Models with side lacing are pulled down and loosened quickly and without assistance. But with such corsets one cannot hope for a good tightening and correction of the figure at will. The stomach will be well hidden, which can not be said about the sides. In such corsets, the figure often seems flat, but rather wide.
  • Corsets that are laced at the back cannot be laced without help. But due to the presence of zippers or zippers, you can once adjust the corset to fit your body and dress in the future without using lacing. Such corsets better than the above models slacken and correct the figure, allowing you to achieve the perfect result. The contraction of the sides and the abdomen occurs evenly, therefore the figure acquires the right proportions.

Corsage and corset: what is the difference?

Corsage is one of the types of corset, speaking with this part of the dress. The peculiarity of this element is the complete closure of the chest, back and sides. The corsage is not as tough as a corset, and most often wears only a decorative function.

Such an element is worn in different ways: on top of clothes or directly on a naked body.

Corsages can have a free style, as opposed to corsets, which always tightly fit the figure. For corsets choose a dense material, unable to stretch. But the corsages can be created from any tissue, including elastic and thin.

Also, you can often find models of corsages with straps. In this dress, designers can afford to add different elements. But in this corset strap can not be.

the cloth

Corsets are made of various materials that not only determine the design of the product, but also its practical properties.

1. Lace corsets are one of the sexiest. Due to the dense lining, they have the necessary strength. Lace corsets are often used in sexual images, which consist only of underwear.

2. Denim corsets are usually considered as a daily option.. They are universal and practical, so on their basis you can create a large number of diverse images. On such corsets embroidery, rhinestones, beads and other decor will be appropriate, which will give the product brightness and make it expressive.

3. Special chic have satin corsets. Beautiful play of material, cold shine, sexy images - men simply have no chance to resist such a combination. Satin corsets are usually used in evening looks or act as sexy underwear, which must be supplemented with stockings and high heels.

Knitted corset, created by yourself, will be unique and original, created by the parameters of your body. You get used to it faster and it is easier to wear.

Colour

Color largely determines the character of the corset and sets the overall style of the future image.

Now you can find a corset in any color, but the most popular are the following options:

  • Black corsets can be presented in the classic version or serve as erotic underwear. It all depends on the style. If you plan to wear a black corset under clothes, with a shirt, skirt or trousers, it is better to choose a simpler style. To create a sexy image that will be intended for the beloved man, then models with lace, ruffles and bright decor will be more relevant.
  • A red corset even from the most modest girl will be able to make a seductive, sexy and fatal woman. Red color is the embodiment of passion, unbridled desire, emancipation and frankness. Red corsets look great with black trim. The combination of such categorical colors is important when creating any clothing, but in underwear, and especially in corsets, the contrast effect increases significantly.
  • Pink corsets are very suitable for girls. The combination in one image of innocence and femininity drives men crazy, and the feminine image adds special charm and mystery. In pink corsets lace trim and discreet décor are appropriate. The combination of pink and white makes the corset cute, but does not diminish his sexuality. But one has only to add a black trim to the pink corset, as it becomes expressive, captivating and bright.
  • Beige corsets are great for everyday use. They are not so easily soiled as white, because they are more practical. Beige corsets do not need a decor and elegant style.

Reviews

Corset is the subject of desire for many women. Therefore, the purchase of such an element always brings a lot of positive emotions. Owners of corsets for the most part speak positively about their purchase. But many women do not know the rules for choosing a corset, because it is often great. Negative reviews are honored with poor-quality corsets that poorly tighten a figure, create an effect of disproportionality and do not sit well on the body.

How to choose and wear?

The choice of corset is based on several parameters, each of which is important.

Still, a corset is not the easiest element of clothing. He must be able to choose and even wear. If you follow a number of rules, you can choose the ideal model of the corset.

  1. The size of the corset should be slightly smaller than normal, which corresponds to the usual clothes. This difference is a margin for contraction. As practice shows, a corset can reduce waist size by 20 cm, but to feel comfortable enough to “clean” 10 cm.
  2. When buying a corset, you need to have a clear idea of ​​where and for what reason it will be used. For example, if the corset is planned to be used often, and it will be mostly under clothing, then it makes sense to choose the simplest style. The use of a corset as a separate element of the wardrobe requires careful selection of color and style in accordance with future images. To seduce a stronger sex, it is better to buy bright corsets with expressive decor, which can serve as sequins, feathers, lace, beads.
  3. Also pay attention to the location of the lacing. The advantages and disadvantages of each type of lacing have already been described above.

Corset requires not only the correct choice based on special rules.During its operation it is also necessary to adhere to the recommendations and remember some secrets.

You need to wear a corset, you can not just buy, wear such a thing and go to conquer the world. The new corset looks shapeless and one-type, and in the process of wearing it adjusts to its owner, takes the shape of her body in order to bring not only benefits but also comfort in the future.

On average, it takes a week to wear a corset, during which you will need to wear it every day and wear it for about half an hour. During this time, not only the corset will take the shape of the body, but its owner will get used to the new state.

The corset can not be immediately tightened to the maximum possible level. It is worth starting with 5 cm and gradually increasing the degree of tightening to 10 cm. If you wish, you can increase this number to 20 cm.

Wearing a corset is necessary. It is necessary to learn how to breathe through the chest, and not with the stomach, as we usually do. With a tight stomach full of full breath just will not work, especially lush chest, which rises and falls, adds even more to the image of sexuality. Such clothes are not suitable for noisy parties and for visiting the club, because you are not moving much in a corset.

Wearing a corset without prior training is not that difficult, but even impossible. To look beautiful in such clothes, you must learn to walk, sit, stand, breathe, eat and drink.

How to lace up?

You can choose the right corset, take into account all the rules, spread it and get used to it, but you still cannot achieve the desired effect. The reason lies in the wrong lacing, which is a frequent problem for many women. The corset should be evenly tightened along the entire length, not to make movements constrained, and the woman's life is uncomfortable. Not always the tape that is attached to the corset, can be used for lacing. In this case, you will need to buy the tape / cord separately.

There are several ways to lace up a corset. You can try to practice each of them to choose the most convenient and fast.

  • We use one cord, we connect the edges of the corset, but at the same time we leave a distance between the edges of about 10 cm. The cord is inserted into the upper holes, thus being divided into two halves. We carry out a lacing cross-wise, trying to position the lace evenly.
  • You can use two cords. With this method of laced one of them is located at the top, and the other - at the bottom. During lacing, they will be sent to meet each other, and in the waist will be joined.

Lacing should be evenly spaced over the entire length, this is a very important rule. In the waist area, the loops need to be made longer so that in the future it is convenient to tighten the cord. The corset needs to be put on itself and only after that thoroughly tighten it, making sure that it lies flat on the figure. When the desired effect is achieved, it is necessary to tighten the ends of the laces and complete the work with a beautiful bow.

Images

Do not you have the breath of this image, in which the main elements is a black corset with lace elements? It is immediately obvious that the corset is chosen correctly, it sees well on the body, it highlights the chest and delineates the waist. Lace short skirt is very appropriate here. Her free style dilutes the narrow top, and the airiness makes the sexy image easier and more playful. Black tights with a large pattern does not look vulgar. This image is definitely worth a note.

But a good example of how a corset can be used in everyday looks. A plain white shirt is transformed because of a black corset that highlights the waist and lifts the chest. In this way, you can even walk to work, if the dress code is not particularly hard and you will not feel sorry for men who will not be able to take their eyes off such beauty.
