subject: Corsets: Shrinking Your Size, Creating A Waist [print this page] For a woman, corsets can serve several purposes. From slimming the waist to lifting the breasts, they are a very versatile garment. Whether she chooses to use it as underwear or outerwear, it is something every woman wants in her wardrobe.
The original purpose of them was to be slimming. By using one and cinching it tightly, any woman could have an hourglass figure. They create a tiny waist for women who may not have a noticeable one. Some women have been known to use them to deliberately help reshape their waist and lower rib cage. By slowly wearing smaller and smaller ones, they can get the figure they desire. Some people find this incredibly attractive.
When they were first invented, they were intended only as underwear. They came with attached garters, so they could easily be used with hosiery. It was not possible, back then, to just walk into a store and buy a pair of nylons. The use of stays, that were hard and stiff, helped make the waist look smaller. By using them, women could get away with wearing smaller garment sizes. At this time, they were worn only as underwear.
Times have changed, but many women still wish they were born with an hourglass figure. Thus, these are still used, by many, to create a slim and trim figure. We may not be born with the ideal female figure, but we can give the impression that we were. They can work for all women, from the biggest to the tiniest.
Many are so fashionable that they can be worn over something else. Using them as outerwear is considered perfectly acceptable, today. They can be as much an accessory as shoes or a handbag. There are many that are stylish and look like they were created as part of an outfit. Many even leave off the straps now, or feature removable ones.
For seductive bedroom wear, they cannot be beat. Accompanied by stockings and garters, they are incredibly sexy. Many are sold with this express purpose in mind. A woman who is wearing something sexy, feels and acts sexier. There are even ones created to be worn as tops. Some have sleeves and some are completely strapless. However, they look great as an alluringly attractive top. They can be both intimate and beautiful.
They can be purchased in many styles and materials. You can get lacy ones for a more sexy look or silk if you want something a little more chic. Whether cotton or velvet, they will please the eye. Many colors are also available, so you can create the perfect look. For the ideal fit, you should always purchase one that is a few inches smaller than your natural waist. These are now far different than they were many years ago.
Corsets are items that every woman should have among her clothing. Since they can be used in many ways, they are an important asset. You can show them or choose not to. Buying a good one is definitely a smart investment
