THE CORSET

- In the 17th century the trend began! but in a slightly more painful way, then the corsets were made of iron, and were used to flatten anything that wasn't flat, and to make ur back as straight as possible. Then in the 18th century the corset began being used for lingerie, and making breasts appear rounder and bigger, and the waist teeny tiny. Today the corset is not made of iron, and not used as lingerie, but as casual or party wear (depending on the design). A flowery corset is a fun flirty item, paired with high waisted shorts, or a skirt, you can even put a low cut vest on top of the  corset, so you only see the bust of the corset, that is very sexy. The corset is indeed a decadent clothing item!
