Get An Attractive Figure With Corset Dresses
Friday, January 15th, 2010The term corset was derived from the Old French word cors, which referred to a petite body. This is of course the very aim of a corset feature, to reduce the body into its most diminutive size. The outcome will produce the effects of overflowing and upright breasts followed by the smallest of waist and the widest of hips. This will remind you of the ‘hourglass figure” which was often the description used to depict the silhouette or shape of a woman’s body. Hence, the corset dresses of today have the same tightening devices to achieve these effects.
In the olden days, corsets were separate undergarments used and they were made by corsetmakers who personally fitted the woman. It was important that the steel bones will have the right amount of span when it is drawn tightly. Otherwise, an ill-fitting corset may end up with the need to draw the corset too tightly just to make the steel bones meet. Naturally, this will make it difficult for the wearer to breathe and will leave her skin all marked with red, black and blue.
