Plucking up the courage to buy a corset? Take the plunge today!

Have you ever wondered what a good quality corset could do for you? We’re not talking about everyday wear, here – just for special occasions or when you really need to make an impression. You may think that the corset is the preserve of the extravert burlesque women of this world, but you’d be wrong. In fact, wearing a corset at the right time can boost your self-confidence and give you the shape you’ve always dreamed of.

Deciding which corset to buy

Corsets come in two main types: the over-bust corset and the under-bust corset. The one you choose will depend on the shape you want to create and the way you’re thinking of wearing your corset. Today’s corsets can look fabulous worn outside other garments, such as shirts, or on their own for a real show-stopping night out. If this is how you’re thinking of wearing your corset, you might want to consider an under-bust model. They’re also great for slimming your waist and hips under tailored skirts and shirts, giving you an exquisite shape.

If you’re choosing a corset in order to tantalise your loved one, or to wear under your wedding dress or other special occasion clothing, consider the over-bust corset. These fully-boned corsets give you a really flattering shape and they’re the Real Thing – especially when you buy a luxury version in silk with all the trimmings.

Corset costs

A corset is an investment, and a good quality garment will last for years if you look after it properly. For that reason, you can’t get a good corset cheaply – and a cheap one is likely to be uncomfortable and short-lived. If you’ve decided to take the plunge and buy a corset, invest in a properly-made one that is built from the right foundations and will look and feel great for years to come. If you choose wisely, you’ll certainly get your money’s worth from the corset you buy.
