Corsets

 Don't you think the corsets of today are lovely and very flattering to a woman's figure?

Have you ever worn a corset before? I wish to try one someday.

"The most common and well-known use of corsets is to slim the body and make it conform to a fashionable silhouette. For women this most frequently emphasizes a curvy figure, by reducing the waist, and thereby exaggerating the bust and hips. However, in some periods, corsets have been worn to achieve a tubular straight-up-and-down shape, which involves minimizing the bust and hips."

Corsets were very fashionable during the Victorian age. Corsets then were very voluminous. Now very few women still wear corsets. Thanks for the post. God bless you all always.
