subject: The Simplicity And Beauty Of The Black Corset [print this page] The original black corset was created as a way to create smaller waists for women without thought to their well-being. They were made using real bone and were in most cases so tight that women would faint from lack of oxygen. Today's understanding is far more wearer friendly. It's used to shape a woman's figure, not restrict her airway. Giving any woman the hourglass figure she desires is the sole purpose of this fashion accessory.
While a black corset used to be worn only by 'fallen' women, they're now acknowledged as the norm. These could be worn on the inside or the outside of a woman's clothes. They are broken up into several different categories. Some have straps while others don't. There are actually also Overbust and Underbust versions. These are exactly what they state. The Overbust covers a woman's bust area while the Underbust strictly covers the midsection and halts just under the bustline. Some fit straight across the rib area while some are in a reverse heart shape underneath the bustline. Now and then you might find a Midbust understanding that covers just the bottom half of a woman's bust area.
The materials used to make black corsets are diverse. The most common are satin, velvet, leather and lace. While the satin and lace corsets are the more prevalent it is easy enough to find the velvet and leather ones. If wearing leather with nothing under it is recommended to put a layer of baby powder or the equivalent all over the upper body to help prevent the material from becoming sweaty and sticking to the skin.
While the materials/fabrics for black corsets can vary according to preference, the interior form is almost always the same. The construction is a combination of flat and spiral steel. This keeps the waist small, the posture strong and the bust area lifted creating more cleavage than usual.
When deciding on a size it's best to reference the size chart for the particular company with which the purchase will likely be made. In most cases the size chosen is the desired waist size of the wearer. This must be a realistic expectation no more than five inches smaller than the wearer's typical waist size. There are a sizable amount of black corset suppliers available on line. Take the time to research what design is best before making a purchase.
Prices vary according to quality. The cost range for a good quality corset is somewhere between $40 and $200. Sometimes a company can have a sale and then prices go as low as $20. If the buyer is on a budget then they should explore the different websites often to catch items on sale.
