About Bustier and Corsets
A Bustier is an article of clothing for women, which is form-fitting and is traditionally worn as lingerie. It looks somewhat like a Basque, but it is shorter. It reaches down only to the ribs or the waist and has a different function: its primary purpose is to push up the bust by tightening against the upper midriff and forcing the breasts to move up, while gently shaping the waist. They are often made with mesh panels rather than boning. It is a multi-purpose garment and doubles up as a push-up bra for inner wear and as a camisole for outer wear. They can also be worn as a half-slip under diaphanous upper garments if a bold display of the midriff is not desired. In modern days, women wear them as an undergarment/push up bra in the occasion that their dress or outer-wear has a low-back. They developed out of the corset.

The corset works by squeezing the chest and is therefore useful in erotic asphyxiation during sex acts.Corsets first came into vogue in the 16th century. By the Victorian era, they were all the rage. Victorian women wanted their waists to appear as small as possible, and the era of tight lacing was born. At the time, corsets were not considered sexy costumes, but simple required undergarments. Girls received their first corsets at a very young age and wore them all of their lives.

By the 1980s, fetish wear was in. Following the freewheeling 1960s and 1970s, 1980s-era mainstream entertainers enjoyed nearly unprecedented freedom of expression. Trend setters such as Madonna began the underwear-as-outwear craze. Sexy costumes escaped the bedroom and began to appear across the country.A supportive choice to wear underneath backless dresses, the strapless bustier is especially popular. However, more exotic choices are also available, including largely see-through pieces that are perfect for bedroom wear.
