Corset, once a symbol of oppression are now an empowering wardrobe piece. For centuries, the corset has been one of the most influential pieces in women’s fashion, shaping the female figure, thus shaping history. Initially designed for aesthetic purposes, the corset is a form-fitting boned garment, predominantly sitting just above the hips up to the bust, fastened at the back, molding the torso to a ‘civilized ideal.’ The corset was designed to ‘train’ the waist and exaggerate natural curves. The garment dates back to 1600 BC yet gained popularity in the 1840s and 50s. The garment is a reliable and timeless piece of clothing both as lingerie or a fashion piece.
