Benefits And Disadvantages Of Ardyss Body Magic Shaper And Similar Corsets

A lot of people may be familiar with the famous scene where Scarlett O’Hara embraces a bedpost while her maid yanks and pulls on the laces of her corset, attempting to bring her twenty inch waist down to at least eighteen and a half inches. For centuries, varying styles of corsets and girdles (also known as stays), have been used by both men and women to alter the appearance of their bodies to fit whatever style of physique was popular at that particular time. In 1991 Ardyss began manufacturing a girdle-like, body shaping garment and gave it the name Body Magic.
