Corsets and Basques

Imagine yourself, or your partner, surprised one evening with candle light, soft music, subtly fragrant flowers walking into the room slowly high heels, seamed stockings held up by strappy garters which are attached to a form fitting long-line corset nipped in at the waist snugly laced all the way up the back soft, delicious cleavage spilling over the top edge of the corset posture-perfect form smiling and breathing heavily. Well you get the picture!

And besides, who really needs another good reason to look and feel good? Corsets are fun, exciting, and glamorous and are offered in styles ideal for any figure. They have been around for centuries, and will remain a fashion statement for many years to come.

Corsets are garments worn by woman to shape the torso into a more desirable shape. Although first developed 350 years ago by the French, corsets and basques have become back into fashion in last few years. Modern corsets are now considered mainstream in the fashion world. Boned corsets have gained in popularity too and now make up a substantial percentage of market share of the corsets and basques market as a whole. Corsets can range massively in price; from relatively low cost China made imports to hand crafted designer made corsets and basques. With such a wide verity of basques and boned corsets available there are styles and prices to suit all!
