The Low-down on Corsets

 Have you given any thought at all to the state of your lingerie closet? 

Better yet, do you even have one? 

Some women might eschew lingerie in the belief that their everyday underwear is enough but the fact stands that well-made lingerie can really do a lot for your state of mind. 

Think about the soft slip of satin and the gentle hug of stretchy lace against your skin; it is hard to remain down when you have that feeling with you the whole day and night. 


Imagine how you would feel showing off your gorgeous self in women’s lingerie that is specifically designed to show off your womanly curves. There is power in wearing lingerie and it is about time that you harnessed this power.

Building Your Collection of Women’s Lingerie

Women’s lingerie, at least the good ones that can really last, does not come cheap, so what you can do is to start out with the most essential women’s lingerie items and then you can build up on that. 

With so many types of lingerie in the market, finding out which ones you need can be difficult, but the one type of women’s lingerie that you might want to invest in is the corset. They might have been viewed in the past as a torture to put on but these days, the level of comfort they offer might just surprise you.

Turning the Spotlight on Modern Corsets

Have you ever seen a corset? Those things are the bomb and will make you feel like the gorgeous woman that you are. 

There are many kinds of corsets in the market; the best thing to do when choosing one is to consider your needs. If you want to whittle down your waist, there are special corsets for that. If you have small breasts, you can find corsets that enhance them and give them an extra lift. 

Below are some types of lingerie that you might be interested in:

Bustier – This is a very good example of a modern corset and it is usually meant to be worn as underwear; some daring women use it as outerwear but that takes some guts and panache. Bustiers are made from heavy-duty spandex with structured panels to add firmness and shape to less shapely and jiggly parts of the body.

Bodices – Also called Underbust Corsets, these are corsets that are usually worn over other types of clothing such as a chemise or a shirt. There are many types of bodices you can choose from and some are meant to be worn a bit more loosely with less boning while others have more support and can be laced more tightly. More often than not though, they look like fancy vests.

Overbust corsets – These corsets are exactly like the name implies – they cover the bust and provide ample support. Curvier sisters might want to have a couple of these in their closets if they want heavy support.

Women’s lingerie, especially corsets, is a prime investment. This type of lingerie might cost you some money but it lasts a really long time and can work wonders for your confidence in the way you look.
