underwear but outwear as well: bustiers and corsets

What’s different between the corsets and bustiers? In simplest terms, a corset "cinches" your waist, while a bustier "boosts" your breasts.

A bustier is a fancy bra-plus-shapewear combo that smooths the midsection and uplifts breasts. Bustiers often use a hook and eye closure like on a bra and only have laces for appearances, if at all. They also use plastic boning to help smooth fabric and maintain structure.

Corsets tighten with a combination of rear laces and a front steel busk closure and have spiral steel bones in them to help maintain vertical tension and create that desired hourglass curve.

We recommend choosing one size smaller and choosing the one that best suits your style.

What Type of Fabric Should I Choose?
Once you know your size and style, you’ll probably think, “Which fabric is best?” 
Here’s a list of the most common types and when they’re recommended:

  • Satin - If you plan to wear your corset under your clothes we suggest satin. A satin corset allows your clothing to glide over it, acting like a slip under a dress, rather than clinging to it. Satin is also stunning over clothes, giving a polished look. 
  • Mesh - Mesh is a lightweight and breathable material. It’s comfortable, easy to wear under or over clothing, you can wear it in the hot summer months without getting too warm, and it gives a great silhouette because there’s so little bulk to the corset.

  • Cotton - If casual comfort is more your thing, then cotton would be the one for you! Cotton takes a bit longer to feel like it’s broken in, but once it is, it will be as comfortable and easy to wear as your favorite denim jeans. Wearing a cotton corset under clothes is a little trickier because of the thicker fabric although not impossible!
  • Brocade - The brocade fabrics are a gorgeous, thick polyester blend that almost feel like a tapestry or upholstery fabric. They look more elegant than a plain fabric and can add something a little extra to your outfit.

  • Leather - It’s a material that is comfortable almost immediately. Although your clothes wouldn’t cling to this fabric if you wore it under your clothing, it does have a bit more bulk to it, so it’s better to wear it over your clothing and show it off. 
  • PVC - Similar in look and feel to vinyl or patent leather, this man made material is a show stopper! We love how this one keeps you cozy warm when it’s cold out and how it can take any outfit up a notch. 
  • Lace - Feminine and strong the lace option is great for hiding under your clothes because it is so lightweight and hugs the body closely.
