The term corsetry does not only refer to making corsets, but also to the corset itself. The feminine hourglass shape they give to the figure makes women love wearing corsets. This type of woman’s lingerie generally hugs the waist, giving more focus on the breasts and hips. Although corsets used to be very constricting and uncomfortable in the past, nowadays they have become less restricting and therefore popular in the bedroom. Most women agree that corsetry is a wonderful addition to their lingerie drawer.

Victorian Style Modern Corset

The corset has been in use for centuries, being an indispensable element of women’s wardrobe. Still, in the Western world during the 1920s it fell out of fashion and was replaced by girdles. Since then, the corset became more popular as a piece of outer garment - corsets were eagerly worn as fantasy costumes and outerwear.

Not only the purpose of corsetry has changed throughout the years - the construction has undergone many modifications as well. Corsets were originally made out of thick materials such as leather with channels to hold the “stays”, which were made from rigid materials like whalebone or steel. Today’s lingerie corsets are not as rigid and other, more subtle materials are used. The stays are usually made of plastic, but steel is still in use.

Typically, corsets wrap around the upper body and its front or back is left open. The opening is lined along both sides with the use of eyelets or grommets, which are used to lace the corset together. Due to the tightened lace, the corset constricts the body, holding it in place. Historically, corsets have been worn so tight that they made women faint and caused permanent deformities. Still, the numerous drawbacks are said to be a little dramatized and they were not so uncomfortable as portrayed in literature and movies.

The function of the corset was basically to modify the body’s shape gradually to reach an ideal figure. There are still people called “tightlacers” who wear corsets to constrict their waists in order to reach a perfect size, sometimes even less that 20 inches. However, such people are rare and corsetry is today most commonly used as sexy underwear and an element of BDSM practices, both for restriction and aesthetics.

Corsetry is available in various styles, however there are main two types - overbust and underbust. The first starts right below the armpit and the latter right below the bust line. Whichever style you prefer, they both enhance your breasts, making them look fuller and the cleavage more attractive.

Elegant Moments Mesh and Lace Teddy

Though all teddies and bodysuits often seem to be alike, there are some differences between these two pieces of lingerie. Both can be used for practical purposes as well as in the bedroom. Before anyone considered the teddy sexy lingerie - they were rather functional underwear. Teddy used to be a loose one-piece garment and its basic function was coverage underneath clothes. Today it is more form fitting and has evolved into the skin-tight type underwear we use today.

The bodysuit is a single piece undergarment as well and it is made of a stretchy fabric so that it clings to the body. It can have all lengths of sleeves and leggings. Initially, as teddies were considered sexy lingerie, they were never meant to be used as a piece of clothing you could wear outside, these days also they are worn in public only or for fun, to a dress party or by some eccentrics craving for attention. Bodysuits however, not only are great lingerie for privacy of bedroom but are often used to make splash in open. The peak of the bodysuit’s popularity was in the 1980s as outerwear, being a well match with skirts or jeans. For more practical purposes, bodysuits are used by athletes and dancers as a standard garment.

Bodysuits are currently coming back in style from the times of big hair and leg warmers. It is said if you stick to something long enough it will come back into fashion sooner or later. Bodysuits can be found in a wide variety of textures, styles and colours to enable everyone to find their perfect fit and match individual sexy lingerie taste.

What women like most about the bodysuit is that they can wear a tucked in shirt or blouse without the problem of all the fabric around their waists. Bodysuits are also a good choice for underneath a fitting jacket.

Both bodysuits and teddies are made from sheer or semi-sheer stretching materials, usually Lycra or Spandex. They fit your curves tightly but will not change the shape of your body like some corsets or girdles do. Though there are a few styles with bras built in or control panels, generally a bodysuits and teddies do not provide your body with any kind of support.

Teddies are often worn under business suits by those who want to feel sexy and comfortable all day. No one around will notice the alluring piece of garment beneath your jacket and skirt. The comfort of this sexy lingerie is not only for the bedroom or the boardroom - you can also wear it under casual clothes when going shopping. Both a bodysuit and a teddy not only are cool sexy and rather relaxing, but surely will give you a smooth line under your clothes which is beneficial for the overall look.
