The fashion industry has rediscovered corsets! Today you can even get one that looks authentic but doesn't effect the shape of your body.

What is it?

The corset was originally a quilted waistcoat with lacing which, when tightened, changed the shape of the body: Usually giving thin people an hourglass figure by reducing the width of the waist.

 

Even some men have been known to wear corsets. Infact it was a fad in the 1820's: Every guy had to get one to improve his shapely figure!

Why?

By restricting their bodies by wearing a corset people would change shape, attaining a thin waist. Ethel Granger held the record for the smallest waist at 13 inches...

It really isn't as appealing as she thought it was!

It goes to show that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder!

Most people who wear corsets don't wish to acheive such a tramatic waist reduction, though. Most women who wear them today shoot for 2 to 3 inches.

Today corsets are very popular in the bdsm and goth communities.

Interesting fact:

Some people wear corsets for medical reasons. After Andy Warhol was shot in 1968, he wore a corset to prevent the wound from worsening.

Do corsets do it for you?

  • Yes!
  • No! They're some sort of torture device left over from centuries past.
