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 was impressed with how quickly this item was made and sent to me. Even though it came from Ukraine, it arrived very quickly to me in California. The corset is absolutely gorgeous, and the quality is wonderful. The front part where the picture is is hard to the touch, and it has excellent structure. It is super comfortable. I will order more in the future. It arrived beautifully packaged and came with a chocolate and instructions on how to wash and care for it."

"I ordered the MCC 95 to ship to Illinois. I received this corset in a very timely manner! Solid construction, strong fabric and waist tape, and a beautiful silhouette. Gives an amazing curve! This is my first true tight lacing corset, and I am not disappointed. I definitely will be a repeat customer."
