Corsets and Basques through the ages

First seen in France, over three centuries ago, corsets were created with the hope of reshaping the torso. It is quite impressive to see that these much discussed about garments, have managed to be still desired so long after their inception. Then again, who would say no to a garment with the ability to take inches off your waistline, turn your torso in to a perfect hourglass and give you a boost of confidence along with the perfect posture? Probably, the corset has to be the most talked about garment in the history of fashion. From the young ladies who eagerly awaited the day that they can start wearing a corset all the way to physicians who considered them to be a health hazard more than a fashion statement, corsets have always been a colourful topic of discussion.

Nowadays, a corset is not created to make drastic modifications to the figure. Instead, they are created mainly with the hopes of tightening and sculpting to achieve that naturally slimmed down, hourglass silhouette that goes very well with the expectations of all ladies. In other words, modern corsets, even the boned corsets, are much more comfortable and come in a wider range of colours and designs to suit every occasion and outfit.

Corsets, Basques and the Modern Fashionista

Modern fashion always borrows from the past: in the case of body-shaping lingerie, boned corsets have been borrowed, modified and re-used for centuries. Today, it is not uncommon to see models strutting on runways, clad in corsets and basques that are obviously created for outerwear. Although the social custom of wearing corsets is long forgotten, the final appearance obtained with a corset or a basque is still very much desired. An enhanced bust, tiny waist and perfect posture are among the instant benefits of putting on a corset. And then there are those admiring glances, flattering compliments and plenty of envy. Who wouldn’t enjoy that? This is probably the reason why that a boned corset is considered to be a must have item in every woman’s wardrobe.
