They are naughty and nice; stylish and trendy; and definitely very sexy!

 

Do you remember when Madonna caused quite a stir wearing her bra in public?  Then there was Britney Spears whose bra was pulled from an auction on eBay.  Celebrities have made the corset dress, and bustier dresses, a very popular fashion these days.  A recent search on eBay spotted over 1,000 corset dresses in auctions and over 1,500 in stores--nearly triple the results of a previous search!

Well, now the "bra" has progressed or grown-up, if you will, to be a bit more acceptable and it's part of the new rage of bra dresses or bustier dresses or corset dresses.

The corset dress pictured here is a Just Cavalli--it's really quite unique with lots of detailed styling.  It's Italian fashion at its finest. What you'll find is that the Italian designers really know how to design corset dresses! In this lens, you'll find lots of sexy corset dresses to pick from.

Quick, what do you think about corset dresses?

Technically, what is a corset? 

A corset is a garment worn to mold and shape the torso into a desired shape for aesthetic or medical purposes (either for the duration of wearing it, or with a more lasting effect). Both men and women are known to wear corsets, though women are more common wearers.

In recent years, the term "corset" has also been borrowed by the fashion industry to refer to tops which, to varying degrees mimic the look of traditional corsets without actually acting as one; such tops are frequently seen in stores which cater to fans of gothic fashion. While these modern "corsets" and "corset tops" often feature lacing and/or boning and generally mimic a historical style of corsets, they have very little if any effect on the shape of the wearer's body. Genuine corsets are usually made by a corsetmaker and should ideally be fitted especially for the individual wearer.

History of corsets 

A corset is a garment that girds the torso and shapes it according to the fashionable silhouette of the day. Most often it has been used for cinching the waist and supporting the breasts.

Contrary to popular myth, the corset was not as restrictive as is generally believed. Vain women tended to wear corsets tighter than necessary and buy corsets with smaller waists, but most women, although they purchased an 18 or 20 inch waisted corset left a gap at the back closure to accommodate a more realistic 22 - 26 inch waist measurements. On average that would mean a corset reduced the figure by only an inch or two at most. Stories about women with broken ribs, having ribs removed, and causing fatal injury to themselves through tight lacing are greatly exaggerated and apocryphal.

In fact, like today, in order to achieve the hourglass figure, many women took to adding volume to their bustlines to increase the ratio of bust to waist. Also, the full skirts, crinolines and bustles of the 19th century added to the width of the hips to make the waist appear slimmer.
