What is it in fashion?

In fashion, boxing concerns stiff strips of material used to maintain the shape of a corset or bodice. Each belt of material bone is called bone or stay. The bones are sewn vertically into the fabric of the corset or bodice. Bones can also contribute to the persecution of corset, depending on its strength. Stays were historically made of Whalebone, ivory, other types of bones and wood, but today they are mainly made of steel or plastic.

The oldest types of corsets worn from the 16th to the 18th century were designed to convert the upper torso into a very stiff, inverted conical shape. For this reason, very hard materials were used as a bone and there were little space between bones. In addition to Whalebone, Great Cane was a popular supporting material in the early corsets.

In the 19th century, corsets became less restrictive and stays were often used only on the front of the corset. The first steel boxing comes from that time, and when Whalebone became in the last 19. WithRare and dear, people were looking for different materials for corset. The bones were sometimes made of Cork, a plant fiber called beads or feathers made of feathers.

In the end of 19th and early 20th century, corsets became less and less complex and restrictive and emphasis was placed on comfort than on the formation of the body to the desired shape. The bones have become more used to keeping the tight fabric than to shape and support the torso. At the beginning of the 20th century, spiral boxing was first used. This type of performance is made of steel arranged in a flat spiral. It is more flexible than traditional stays because it is able to bend in both directions and therefore provides finer support.

Nowadays it is very common to find plastic performance because it is much cheaper than a steel variety. However, steel remains a choice of choice for high -quality corsets. Plastic is often too flexible and can detactively deformovat. Also, it is not suitable for tight, practice in which people use corsets to make a significant design of the character, as common in the earlier centuries. Cable links can sometimes be used as a replacement for steel stays.
