''When binding your corset, take the time to do it well...''

Good day,my dear,dear Ladies!-)*

Today I would like to share with you my big passion,almost an obsession-The corset!

The corset to weare... and the corset to make.
This is for me most incredible item,because I am in love with corsets(!!!),and also busy to make this SO special article!-)
At first,I introduse you this amazing and very intresting book(for proffessionals in making),but also great book if do you like history of corsets...

Throughout the centuries, the corset has spanned the classes and been the faithful companion of women.
May I bore you with some old pictures?...

Corsets have become a fashion favourite in the new Millenium. Corset makers and corset companies are springing up everywhere, and there's renewed interest in an art form that was, until recently, almost lost for ever: the art of corset making.

Though commonly associated with the Victorian upper class, corsets originated in the 16th century and, by the 19th, had become a hallmark of fashion for nearly all females. Practically essential for women of aristocratic birth, corsets were also adopted by working middle class women aspiring toward similar ideals

of fashion.                                                                                                                                                  

So, what happened to the corset? In 1960, DuPont introduced Lycra to the manufacturing process, making whalebone or metal-framed corsets obsolete, and transforming the corset proper into the girdle. Then in the 70s bra-burning feminists brought cries for less restrictive, more natural feminine fashions. But the corset never completely vanished, no it's still here and it's still absolutely the hallmark of fashion!-)*

Corsets are very important when recreating fashions of the period. They create smooth body contours necessary for correct fit of the formfitting bodice. A reproduction corset is essential to achieving the grace and elegance of the period. They can make you feel like a true Victorian lady of distinction. And, they can be fun, whimsical, and sexy when worn on the outside for all to see!

A true corset is unlike the modern adaptations found in lingerie shops around the world today. Before the 1910s corsets, for the most part, had no stretch and were made to fit very tightly, shaping your body to conform to the ideal silhouette of the era.

I am an admirer of Dita von Teese.
''Corsets Are the Most Expensive Items I Wear''
The queen of glamour Dita Von Teese has admitted that her burlesque corsets
are the most expensive items of clothing she owns."I'm a lingerie aficionado. I consider myself an expert," she told the daily London newspaper.



While she no longer wears corsets every day, they used to be a key part of her daily ensembles. As a modern style icon, Dita has rekindled the popularity of party corsets as a coveted piece of luxury fashion.

The corset is probably the most controversial garment in the history of fashion. Although regarded as an essential element of fashionable dress from the Renaissance into the twentieth century.
