The story of the appearance of corsets
According to scientists, for the first time corsetry appeared on the island of Crete a couple of thousand years ago. At that time, it was customary to wear fairly open dresses with a corset that stretched the waist. So dressed for various celebrations.
But later, namely at the end of the XI century, corsets also appeared in the men's wardrobe, which were originally used by the military to protect the body during the battle.
Interestingly, in the XVI century in Spain with the help of corsets, girls and women were pulled in order to make the figure almost flat. This was done due to propaganda in those days of asceticism. Women should not walk around with an open bust and in any way demonstrate it, so as not to seduce men. Therefore, everything was strictly and rigidly, respectively, and the corsets were made of metal or wooden dice.
In the seventeenth century, the situation began to change in the opposite direction - the girls began to demonstrate a narrow waist and lush chest, which was also helped by a fabric corset. He was in fashion until the beginning of the XX century, and then the time came for free silhouettes. Today, corsetry is a type of underwear that can adjust the figure.

Body
Body in appearance resembles a joint swimsuit. Panties, a T-shirt and a bra are connected in it, thanks to which all problem areas are well pulled. The clasp can be at the bottom of the buttons or hooks. The top of the body can be made in the form of a T-shirt with straps, T-shirts with short or long sleeves - this is a sporty option.
In a romantic (feminine) version, a bra is clearly expressed. The latter also appears in various variations: without straps, a balcony, push-up.
Traditionally, the body is made of elastic fabrics so that it does not appear under the dress or suit. Sometimes he is worn as a blouse under a formal suit.
Bustier
The main difference between a bustier and a bra is the addition of a shortened corset that does not reach the waist. The corset itself is sewn from dense material, often stitched with strong bones in order to maximize support the chest and tighten the waist. The bustier fits under neckless dresses with an open back.
