What is a corset?

Korset is a type of underwear that is used to support the bust and define the waist. Women are most commonly worn, but sometimes men. Corsets can be worn to support the spine for health reasons or create a certain shape for aesthetic purposes. The corset normally wore women in the western world until the use of bras in the 1920s and 1930s was expanded. Most of them are made of fabric, leather or other flexible material and enforced by hard strips called boning . In the Victorian period, the execution of the whale was usually the whale, although steel was also used. Today, many corsets use plastic performances for a lighter feeling. The corset usually weaves at the back to adjust the adaptation, even if some lace models at the front. Some back-connected models also have buttons or hooks on the front.

The corset can be relatively small and only cover the area between the bust and the hips. This model is also known as waist waist and is worn by both women and men. AlternativelyCan corset in addition to the waist cover the bust, hips or both. Some models even touch their knees, although it is very unusual. In modern times, corsets are more often worn as a fashion statement than as supportive clothing and many peaks that resemble traditional corsets are also called corsets, even if they offer no support or forming the torso.

While the practice of wearing a corset, especially during the Victorian era, often receives bad rap, is not harmful or unpleasant if it is done correctly. Some bearers have made and make a corset to the extreme in practice known as tight , in which the waist can be reduced to approximately 15 inches (38 cm), and others have removed ribs to create a smaller waist. Such extremes are not widespread and corsets usually do not create health problems or prevent the wearer's physical activity if they are worn properly. When wearing a traditional corset, it is important to have it customized to prevent health risks.
