Difference between revisions of "Corset/Bustier"

Latest revision as of 21:07, 9 January 2022

A corset is a tube-shaped garment worn around the waist/chest. Corsets typically contain boning, a thin stick of stiff, structural material that gives them shape. Corsets also often have lacing, like an athletic shoe, used to tighten them to the wearer's body.

Corsets can be functional (used to help define the waist) or decorative and can be worn over or under other clothing. Depending on the brand, a bustier can be simply a corset that covers and defines the bust, or it can be more like a stand alone JSK bodice. Bustiers which resemble JSK bodices are typically worn over a blouse / skirt or OP. Please note that certain brands such as Excentrique release "corset vest" items which may be just as easily defined as a corset or vest; in these cases use your best judgement based on the features and characteristics of the item itself (boning, corset lacing, shape, closure type etc).

Common/Relevant Features

Please note that patterns, fabric types, and motifs can and should be tagged for corsets/bustiers, but the "Solid" tag is reserved for main pieces (JSKs, OPs, skirts, etc). The "No Sleeves" feature should not be applied due to redundancy for this item type.

Shirring Types

Full shirring (possible for bustiers, very unlikely for corsets)
Back shirring
Partial shirring
No shirring

Other Features

Boning
Corset Lacing
Decorative Corset Lacing (non-functional/sewn-on)
Adjustable Straps
