What are women’s 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.

How do you choose women’s corsets?

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.”

What types of women’s corsets are popular?

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.

"I have to tell anyone that comes to this shop that you are in the RIGHT place! This seller was SO amazing when my local post office, for some odd reason, shipped the package BACK to Poland. The article got through customs just fine but the local post office systems didn’t like it and sent it back. This seller, without batting an eye, worked it out with the post offices, made another corset, and sent it free or charge. I have a bad back and this corset is so comfortable and so well made and I feel so beautiful in it, I cannot thank the seller enough!!! Five stars!"

"Absolutely great pattern for this low price! Very easily understandable, especially with the youtube video. I have quite some sewing experience, but this is definitely something for beginners as well. I adapted the pattern because I personally didn't like the bias tape solution for the bottom seam. Instead, I sewed the lining and main fabric together on all sides except one of the sides. Then I swapped it through the opening and stitched the top, left and right sides for a nicer seam. Then I sew the corset canals. To enter the thingies, I just opened the bottom seam at the canal spots carefully with a seam-opening tool. After I inserted all thingies, I also stitched the bottom. Like that, I got even seams on all sides without a bias tape :) (if you do that, you have to add 1cm seam allowance to the bottom)"

"Beautiful corset, excellent quality. I bought it for under my wedding dress. I only wish it was svailable in one size bigger, for a 48-50 inch waist, so I don't have to tighten it as much to make the privacy panel close. 7x is about a 2xl Canadaian I'd say, it says 46"waist.. Still very happy. It shipped from the UK Canada post and came really fast, and is reasonably priced, shipping is a bit, but still to get a corset like this for just over $100, great deal. I will be buying again."
