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.

"WOWZA. Run, don’t walk. I’ve looked at over 8 corsets/undergarments for my wedding day. As someone with a short torso who will be wearing a rather low-back dress, finding the right undergarment to make me look and feel beautiful has been SO challenging. This corset is the best I’ve ever tried. It tucks me in exactly like I’d hoped for, while still remaining comfortable and easy to wear. 10/10!"

"Great corset, however measurements are quite a bit off. Still fits, however it's tight around the neck and pulls down, and the corset cannot be closed over the privacy panel. Will definitely be holding onto this one while working on slimming down to make it fit."

"This is an excellent corset for first time users like myself! It’s sturdy, easy to lace and adjust by yourself. Be aware before buying - this one in particular is very long. I have a long torso to begin with and I wanted a “long line” corset to cover my bases, but the neckline still just reaches my armpits and the hem right at my tailbone. The measurements in the listing are accurate and I even have some wiggle room in the bust; usually I have the opposite problem! Overall it’s very comfy and great for what I need it for - structure and support under costumes and cosplay - and I’m excited to see what kind of wear I can get out of it."
