    Learn More About Corsets

    Women’s corsets are generally worn to emphasize your figure by cinching the waist and enhancing the hips and bust to create a curvy silhouette. While corsets are regarded traditionally as a type of lingerie, today’s corset styles can be worn over blouses or as tops on their own for an edgy, eye-catching look.

    Whether you’re looking for women’s corset lingerie to accentuate your curves or a floral, hand-embroidered corset top to wear for a renaissance fair, you’ll find a wide range of women’s corsets from sellers on Etsy in a variety of colors, sizes, and designs. Here are a few things to consider to help you find the perfect corset:


    • Size: Women’s corsets are meant to fit tightly for a figure-enhancing look, but don’t opt for a too-small size that is uncomfortable to wear or will constrict your breathing. To determine your corset size, measure your waist and subtract 3-4 inches.
    • Material: Corsets are typically made of coutil, a type of cotton with a tight, herringbone weave for a stiff design. However, you’ll also find women’s corsets on Etsy in a variety of materials such as denim, velvet, lace, mesh, leather, and PVC.
    • Style: From frilly and feminine to outrageously outlandish, women’s corsets come in all sorts of styles. Opt for a design to complement your look—whether it’s an elegant ivory bridal corset to wear under your wedding dress or a show-stopping shiny bustier to give your cosplay costume “oomph.”

    Women’s corsets have come a long way from their days as stiff undergarments worn by prim and proper Victorian ladies. Today, corsets come in a world of different shapes, sizes, and designs, including these popular types:


    • Tops: Designed as overbust corsets, mid-bust corsets that cover half of your bust, or underbust corsets, you can wear women’s corset tops as shapewear lingerie or over clothes to complement your style.
    • Belts: Worn around your waist to cinch your middle, women’s corset belts create a smooth silhouette as lingerie or as a statement-making clothes accessory.
    • Lingerie: With styles featuring one-piece designs with corseting or bras with underbust corseting for shaping and support, many women’s corset lingerie has lace detailing, transparent mesh, or smooth silk or satin panels for a romantic bedroom look.
    • Outerwear: Meant to be worn over clothes or on their own as fashion tops, women’s outerwear corsets come in a variety of popular designs, including denim and leather corsets.
