To know your corsets you need to know your Royal Rulers – The 16th Century period style corsets are often referred to as either Tudor or Elizabethan, named after the types of royalty on the throne.

Make that corset look just right on you – Loosen up the laces on the back of the corset so that you can wrap it around your middle. Most fashion corset tops come with several hooks in the front. Secure each of these before attempting to lace up the back. This will provide you with a secure hold so that the top will stay in place as you tie up the lace. Having it properly situated will provide you with the most flattering look available. Now you look hot!

Men wear corsets as well. Corsets help to define a man’s waistline and help him feel sensual and more comfortable with his body. Fashion designers have seen the trend and are designing more styles for men. Male leather corset tops are popular, as are the satin tapestry tops. One thing is for sure – a man wearing a corset looks well toned and is bound to be a hit with women…

Did you know that corsets, which are one of the high fashion items today, were once considered to be a medical necessity for women? In Victorian times, women were believed to be very fragile, and thus girls of all ages were laced up into bodices. This often lead to severe skeletal problems for these women, plus fainting spells from lack of oxygen. While that madness has passed – there is much more madness on how women are treated in this world that needs to be eliminated.

Modern corsets or corset tops are being designed in such a way that they allow a woman to flaunt her curves and look sexy, without putting any kind of pressure on the organs. Genuine corsets are usually designed by a corset maker, taking into consideration the exact size of shapes of a person who is going to wear them. The growing popularity of steampunk fashion has led to increased demand for designer corsets that provide the right look and feel.
