Comfortable Corset to Enhance the Torso

Whether it is fashion, medical use or just a sexual fetish, the corset has remained one of the best designed lingerie over the ages. Nothing enhances the body of a women more than a well designed corset. After all, an undergarment is no longer just for purposes of hygiene or modesty. Women's underwear has progressed since the ages and has become more comfortable and fitting. A corset offers both comfort and snug fit. When worn correctly, it can support the back and the upper torso for optimum comfort in carrying an elaborate dress with ease and style. A snug fit ensures that body contours are shown off elegantly.

A corset is typically made of a flexible material such as cloth or leather with built in channels that are inserted with a stiffening material that allows the garment to stay in the styled shape. The construction of this garment is a skilled art known as corsetry. The tightness of the corset is maintained by tightening or loosening the lacing that is provided at the back of the garment. When appropriately tightened at the waist, the corset can be most effective in reducing the waist line by several centimeters. A properly fitted corset should be comfortable and at the same time, attain a stunning result of clothing a woman in the most sensuous way.

A corset can prove to be a useful piece of underwear for both large breasted and small breasted women. Whereas small breasts get nicely uplifted for a larger look, large-breasted women have found that a corset will carry the weight of their assets much better that the shoulder straps of an ordinary bra. Apart from an instantaneous reduction of the waist line, the overall appearance has a thinning effect and encourages good posture. But it is important to remember that this garment has to be made well fitting so as to ensure that it does not hamper breathing or cause any restriction of body movements.
