A bit of history
The first “corsets” appeared in the wardrobe of women in the 12th century. It was an ordinary lace, which could narrow the waist and slightly raise the chest. The corset acquired its familiar appearance in the early 16th century. First, the corset frame was made of metal rods, and later they began to use a whalebone, making the product more sparing for the female body.
In the 18th century, corset dresses were distinguished by splendor (their skirts were on hoops), and in the 20th century the corset itself became lower (stockings began to be attached to it).
Nowadays, corsets are not so common, as women like more comfortable clothes. However, the scope of the corset has become much wider.
