A shaping classic, the corset has been a female fashion staple for as long as we can remember. From it's original shape alerting use, to it's fashion statement, from Victorian Socialites, to Pop Diva's and Disney Princesses, the corset is a lingerie piece to love for many more years to come.

But let's get to the point, here's the top reasons why we love a simple corset.

FIGURE FLATTERING

The obvious, a corset is the easiest way to give yourself a stunning figure (not that you don't already have one to begin with). Thankfully the days of a corset being an outfit necessity (and every woman's worst enemy) are long gone, but that doesn't mean you can't use it to shape your body. Get that accentuated hourglass figure and discover your inner femme fatale goddess.

OVER OR UNDER

Keep your corset as a sexy little secret, feel it, see the difference it makes to your shape, and keep it all about you. Wear it on top of clothing or out and about and turn your bland outfit into pure magic. Show off the queen you are.

VA-VA-VOOM

Cleavage, ladies. Whether you're an A cup or a DD, a well-laced corset can give unreal cleavage to even the most petite (me, trust me, it's true). Even if you are classiest, reserved of women, there is a whole lot of fun to be had laced up with your ladies on teasing display.

THEY'RE NO LONGER PAINFUL

A corset is no longer designed to painfully manipulate the body – thank god. Today's corsets are designed to comfortably shape our figure, with soft and flexible boning, and snag free seams and clips, while being fashionable. No more Kira Knightly in Pirates of the Caribbean fainting to be had!

Perfection to pair with your most princess like attire or your sexiest pair of jeans, anything goes with this versatile classic. With some lacing and shaping, the most plain outfit or sexy night in can become something sexy, sultry and new.
