Corset Bustier

A corset bustier is a stretchable corset undergarment or combination of a brasserie and corset or girdle. Like a regular corset, its function is to lift the breasts and flatten the tummy.

This lingerie garment is worn on the upper torso. It usually extends from the breasts to the hips though some only go until the middle of the ribs.

The difference between a corset bustier and a corset is the boning. A corset bustier has light boning so it is not as stiff and rigid as an ordinary corset, so it can give only a lighter support to the body. However, it can also give the body a good shape.

Another difference is that a corset bustier is made of lighter fabrics than a regular corset. The back is stretchable and often made of elastic synthetic fabrics such as lycra or spandex. They usually have rows of hook and eye closures at the back but some corset bustiers have lace-up backs.

A corset bustier is worn under blouses or tops, such as under formal office clothes, bridal wear or evening gowns.

This lingerie must not be machine washed and should washed with cold water. Hot water will wear out the elastic and is dangerous for the boning.

The bra cups include underwire in a corset bustier. Made of lace fabric, it has garter straps for stockings that are often removable. They can include straps or be strapless, and are often bought with panties in a matched set.

A corset bustier is considered to be sexy apparel as it makes women's breasts appear larger and their tiny waists are greatly emphasized.
