Modern corsets

Modern corsets

Observed under the view of historical corsets certain design-details of so called 'modern' corsets, under the aspects of economic manufacturing and standardization, got simplified or got completely lost. In contrary to that, new design-details got added to modern corsets of today, which had been never asked in the past. The reason is that the corset of former times was never seen as a decorative, presentable part of a dress.

Corsets and fashion - A change in mind

The comeback of corsets in today's fashion-shows is mainly explained rather by the fact that a new 'old' sense of content was revived, something the french people call 'presence', that means an impression of a magnificent appearance and that is also able to hold its attention for the duration of the event.

The charm and fascination of this theme can be seen first hand in the opportunity to shape the masculine body with desired feminine attributes. It is obviously self-explaining that on this background a long corset with cups and shoulder-straps gives some remarkable advantages versus a normal under- or overbust model. Additional with this corset-stile the most remarkable feminine attribute of a more or less accentuated waist-hip-ratio can be realized

Long-term effects of Tightlacing

Many may hope, that the physiological bodyalteration can be permanent without wearing a corset. Unfurtunately this is a hope in vain. A  permanence of the desired silhouette without the corset is unrealizable.

The corset is designed without a front-closure system. It will be closed and laced in the rear site only. The normally implemented front-closure-busk with hooks and eyes and the standard planchette are replaced by an extra stiff special planchette, which covers the area between bust and abdomen.

 

The total outfit is completed by additional accessories as lower arm cuffs, a shoulder harness, a bonnet and shoulder-straps. Of course, it is possible to wear this corset also without such accessories, as demonstrated with the left picture.

A modification of this design is possible. It can be manufactured with standard front-closure-busk and the standard planchette. Also the use of other materials as leather, silk or satin is possible, replacing the glossy vinyl.

 

The positions of the 36 integrated spiral spring-steel stays are preliminarily effected by the cut- and line-shape. To avoid any pressure-points, especially at the hips, the positions of the stays are carefully adjusted to the given body-shape of the customer.

Both pictures are showing our client 'Lacie' with her corset 'Pandora', with and without the accessories.

Many may hope, that the physiological bodyalteration can be permanent without wearing a corset. Unfurtunately this is a hope in vain. A  permanence of the desired silhouette without the corset is unrealizable.


Maybe it is possible to get a certain degree of „continuance“ in achieving the slimmer body-contour that has been reached with a huge of efforts. First you need to talk about the efforts to achieve a reduction in the waist by tightlacing and moreover transforming the entire phisical appearance.


In a figural sense, one may consider this as an attempt to set up a complexe system of equations and to solve it. It consists  numerous variables, thus as the age, body-type and body-mass-index, as well as the dedication to a consistent diet, level of physical fitness and the specific habits of the tightlacing regimen, but also the personal attitude to the corset and the daily efforts to be laced very tight every day. But who is able to set up such a system of equations and who is able to solve it.

Time has shown, that approximate solutions will only lead to „persistence“ of the personal goal of tightlacing and this factor of „persistence“ ist the amount of reduction from the natural starting waist-size.

Unfortunately there is a small negative effect, that means the corset recontours and holds the shape and when out of the corset there is a ‚snap-back‘ effect, where the body will try to spring back to ist unsupported starting-position. How much or little the snap-back will be is dependent on all these factors. But generally the more completely the waist is trained and the longer the corset was worn, the less the snap-back will occur.

This snap-back effect causes in the tendency of the internal organs, lower rips, and compressed abdominal muscles that want to migrate back to their original places. What remains is the degree of persistence and unfortunately this effect never stops. The snap-back increases slowly but continously

article thumbnail Corset with Bra (Cups)

Opposite to conventional Overbust-Corsets corsets with cups (that means: with integrated bra) offer some clear advantages

Thus an integrated Bra offers the advantage, that a large bossom experiences the necessary support, while in case of a small bossom a 'Push-up'-effect can be made possible. Moreover a complete bust-simulation is also realizable.

Sometimes men also like the feeling of beeing enclosed. Sometimes with, sometimes without urge for female body shape. The appeal of this issue results in the demonstration of a reinforced self-conciousness, but sometimes also to give feminine attributes to the masculine body.
