Let's Talk Lingerie
We are talking Corsets/Bustier
This item was designed by the Caucasus tribe to show off a woman's breast in late 1500's.
Later cups were added to be worn with the farthingale (the wide bottom skirts).
This garment was later made with cups. the designed was transformed to be worn by young girls thru their wedding night and would take the new groom an enormous amount of time to undo the up to 50 eyelets of lacing.Because of the restricted idea of this garment it in later years it fell out of favor with the neuveux riche.
Modern bustiers are often made with mesh panels rather than the tradition.al boning.
Image 3 is an idea of how far this garment has come. its now being worn for fashion and not a tradition of conformity.
