Corsets And Basques Underwear – A Lingerie Garment With A Long History And Still Many Uses Today
Lingerie comes in many types, colors and styles of garments and a corset is a lingerie underwear worn on the body from the chest to the waist giving the body a slimming effect. Some don’t think about corsets and basques in this modern day as part of lingerie but these pieces are considered lingerie and are just as sexy as other types of lingerie underwear. Corsets were introduced in the late seventeen hundreds and even though they have changed over the years the basic make-up has remained the same. The basque is a variation of the corset and is basically a longer version that goes over the waistline and covers the hips.
