Corset

Corset

A corset is a garment worn to hold and train the torso into a desired shape, traditionally a smaller waist or larger bottom, for aesthetic or medical purposes (either for the duration of wearing it or with a more lasting effect), or support the breasts. Both men and women are known to wear corsets, though this item was for many years an integral part of women's wardrobes.

History

The corset has been an important article of clothing for several centuries in Europe, evolving as fashion trends have changed. Women, as well as some men, have used it to change the appearance of their bodies.

Design

The corset is typically made of a flexible material (like cloth, particularly coutil, or leather) stiffened with boning (also called ribs or stays) inserted into channels in the cloth or leather.

Medical use

Corsets are also used for medical purposes, such as to correct a spinal curvature or to reduce back pain.

Modern use

In modern times, men and women may wear corsets for aesthetic or medical purposes. People with chronic pain or posture problems often use corsets to alleviate these issues.
