Counting Colors With The Corset!

By:


In fact the oldest corset dates back to ancient Minoans from around 2000 BC. Today corsets are no more those bulky garments possessing that restrictive, uncomfortable feel. With improved fabric technology, one cannot have a more comfortable yet alluring attire like corsets.

Corsets are a rage this season. Coming in a myriad variety of fabric such as satin, silk, lace or even cotton, it accentuates your curves and bust line concealing the unwanted bulges. For those who have little knowledge about this bizarre outfit, lets take a closer look at what a corset is. It is an archaic garment that covers your lower torso from bust line to waist. The sides have curved shaped ribbing that lends you the classic hourglass shape. These ribs are usually made of a thin lightweight metal or hard plastic. While these ribs do push your body into certain shapes, they do no harm to the bodys internal organs posing health hazards.

Earlier days found corsets as precisely underwear. It was during the 20th century, the corset was regularly revived as an outerwear proclaiming the indelible fantasy of an idealised, flattering, tight-fitting female silhouette, which is timeless and still appeals today.The corset is full of paradoxes and that is probably the reason of it being still part of our society: it has never stopped evolving.The corsets enamour contradictory messages: constriction and freedom, dominance and submission, femininity and power. The torchlight goes to the current social values as well: violence, war, sex, nostalgia and conservatism.It bears an everlasting sexual attraction: it glorifies, underlines, exacerbates and idealises the female form. It has evolved aesthetically and symbolically: from underwear to outerwear (in late 19th century ball gowns), from corsets to bustiers, from constriction to power, from lingerie to armour.

If not appropriate for a Monday morning office meeting, corsets rule the fashion statements in a huge way, be it an informal party or night at a club.
The magic wand remains in your hand when it comes to choosing corsets, whether you want to be modest or daring. There are elaborate lacy ones highlighting your bust line giving you a sensuous look and there are others with garter belts and stockings.
