Using Corsets to Shape the Body

The oldest created corsets are usually ones the a minimal amount of reshaping. Your breast shape appears to be significantly pressed down and deliver the appearance of a minimal breast silhouhette. To develop this silhouette you must work against the natural shape and curves of a woman's body.

Boning, Busks and Other Corset Techniques

A fabulous corset depends on two primary factors: a) the strength and other factors of the boning material, and b) the ability to pull together the lacing. To ensure you are comfortable while wearing your corset you can only tighten and lace up to a point, the remainder of the functionality is provided by the support delivered by the boning.

A good choice in boning material is steel covered with nylon that comes in lighter colors and is built in a wide variety of lengths, widths, and thicknesses. When you are deciding on the type of steel boning for the corset you choose the width is secondary to the thickness. You can tell when you have selected the proper spring steel boning because it is really flexible but it is almost impossible to bend.

You can construct a corset with busks that open and are often used on the front of corsets to enable you to slip into and out of your corset unassisted. The busks were created in the 1860's and allowed construction with straight busks, the modern spoon busk was developed approximately ten years later.
