Corsets are a great invention in the world of women's fashion. Previously, they allowed women to create a wasp waist (it is worth recalling Scarlet from the movie "Gone with the Wind"). Now fashion does not dictate such harsh canons of the female body, so corsets can carry a decorative function or slightly adjust the body.
If you decide to wear a wedding dress, the upper part of which is presented in the form of a corset, then be prepared for the general attention and admiration from your guests.

Since corsets are in most cases made of dense material, there are no problems with attaching decor. Yes, and all the elements are located only on the outside, so during the movement the bride will not feel discomfort. There are a great many models of corsets, each of which is unique.
Types of Corset
All wedding dresses in which there is a corset are divided into three types:
- if the corset is sewn into the skirt, making up a single whole;
- exists separately from the bottom of the dress;
- serves as a decoration for low-waisted models.
For any of the described options inherent harmony and spectacularity. If the bride does not need to adjust her already perfect figure, then the corset can serve as just a decorative element of the dress. For such a corset, the choice of fabrics is not significant, as well as the presence of a frame.
But for the corrective corset, you can not take any tissue. Special corset fittings are used and a combination of thin and dense fabrics takes place. All these difficulties are justified, because in this way the figure is given harmony, the body lines and the curves of the figure are emphasized. No one will even guess about the existence of flaws that you may be embarrassed about.
The choice of a decorative corset is made according to the size of your everyday clothes. But the corrective model should be smaller by several sizes. The fit in the corset should be maximum, and the emphasis on your silhouette is optimal.
If you will wear a corset for a wedding for the first time, then you need to practice wearing it. This must be done a few days before the wedding. It is necessary to gradually get used to this clothing, therefore it is necessary to walk in it at least half an hour a day. If the corset is not laced on the back, but on the sides, then you will also need to train in putting it on. Uneven lacing will lead to the twisting of the corrective corset.
What to consider
Although the corset corrects the figure, it should not cause discomfort. Even if the corset is selected correctly and not too tight, it still needs to be carried and allowed the body to get used to such rigid frames.
So how do you choose the “right” corset:
- If the corset is not sewn into the dress, then during the wedding he can change his position on the body. And this, you see, will not be very convenient.
- The corset can be made from large pieces of material or from small elements of fabric. With the latter option, a corset fit will be perfect.
- When ordering a corset individually, ask the master about hidden zippers. This will simplify the process of dressing and removing the corrective element.
Lush
To make the figure look the most profitable and be harmoniously folded, it is worth choosing lush wedding models with a corset. There are two options to choose from: A-line and ball gown. Not a single collection of a self-respecting designer goes without such dresses that strike with their magnificent appearance.
Corsets embroidered and richly decorated look rich. In this case, the skirt can be quite simple, voluminous or layered. But, if your height cannot be called high, and your physique is tight, then you should not even pay attention to such models.
Due to the magnificent skirt, many brides hide the fullness on the hips and legs, add romanticism and femininity to the image.
Models with a transparent corset
Do not take grace and sexuality to dresses with a transparent corset. Lace is most commonly used, but any other transparent fabric is also suitable.
When choosing this model, brides are always in the spotlight, and men's hearts begin to beat wildly at the sight of such seductiveness. Of course, the entire corset cannot be completely transparent. In the chest area, in any case, there is an insert of dense fabric.
Without trying on, you should not buy such a dress; moreover, you need to carefully consider how a transparent corset sits on your figure and whether it gives out some flaws in the figure.
Mermaid
When choosing a dress with a “mermaid” style, in which there is a corset, make sure that your figure has a sharp difference between the volume on the chest, waist and hips. Only on such a figure will such a dress look attractive and elegant.
In this case, the corset only tightens the figure a little. The popularity of the “mermaid” dress with a corset does not fade away, allowing brides to emphasize the chic figure.
The style of the year is also present in this style, being the height of attractiveness. The corset is slightly longer than usual, and the skirt falls in layers. Designers do not stop experimenting with such a style.
Low Corset Models
The convenience of elongated corsets is the ability to freely simulate the necessary silhouette. Indeed, if the classic types of corsets are able to adjust the figure only in the waist area, then the understated version often reaches almost the hips.
You can relax or tighten the corset where you need it. As a result, the figure is perfectly slender, and the image acquires an additional share of sophistication.
A good solution is to complement the image with a belt in a contrasting color, with a buckle or large flower. The choice of models here is very wide: a mermaid or even a ballroom.
Short
Designers manage to combine a corset in such styles that, it would seem, are not intended for this. For example, a tutu dress or a short dress with a full skirt in retro style, complemented by a hat, a light scarf, and a veil. The unusualness of this image is combined with elegance.
The beauty of the outfit and the opportunity to demonstrate the beauty of the legs - what else can a modern bride need, which is distinguished by a bold nature.
