Wedding corsets, decorative corsets, formal corsets, erotic corsets, satin, linen and leather corsets. So many sentences – my head is spinning. To narrow the search, we suggest defining the main points. The choice of a black leather corset model depends on 3 factors: the purpose and frequency of use, the size and elasticity of the corset, the type of figure.

Purpose and frequency of operation

First, you need to decide on the purpose and frequency of wearing. If it is a corset for every day, for example, weekdays, it can be a corset on a naked body, which is combined with a jacket, or a corset, as outerwear, for example, on a shirt. If you plan to wear a corset often, we recommend that you look into your wardrobe, pay attention to the things with which you will combine the corset, their color, shape and other nuances, and choose the corset model that offers the greatest combination of options with clothes in your wardrobe. It will also help you decide on the type of corset.

Corsets are classified by type: corset-belt (worn on the waist and looks like a wide belt), under-chest corset. (corset with an open chest, goes from the hips or waist), high corset or chest corset (covers the chest, can go from the waist or hips; in turn, it can be balcony, that is, strapless or go with straps).

Corsets-belts and corsets under the chest are usually worn over clothing. These types of corsets tighten and focus on the waist. If you plan to wear a corset over a shirt, you can choose a shirt with a high collar, 3/4 wide or long sleeves, or short puff sleeves. Smooth high corsets go well with jackets , their main task is to make a wasp waist and lift the chest.

Size and elasticity

Many people recommend choosing corsets 1-2 sizes smaller, but this is a controversial issue. To choose a “cozy” corset size, you should pay attention to its elasticity and the individual characteristics of your body. If the corset is made of elastic, highly stretchable fabric, you should choose a corset one size smaller. In elastic corsets, the tightening effect is less pronounced than in corsets made of inelastic material. Elastic corsets perform more the function of light correction, in other words, they will emphasize the figure. But will not cope with the task of a major transformation.

There are corsets made of inelastic material. They can come with or without lacing, and also have a rigid frame, in this case it is better to choose the size in size.

Shape type

Depending on the type of figure, we offer you the characteristics of corsets that will help you make the right choice.

Shape type – pear. This type of figure is characterized by a small chest, thin waist, narrow shoulders and rounded hips. Here, all attention should be concentrated on the upper body. Since the lower part is more massive, let’s balance the proportions and choose a corset with accents on the chest. These can be high corsets with push-up cups and a deep neckline, as well as models with voluminous details in the chest area. (ruffles, maria b d1, decorative stones, ribbons, metal rivets).

The shape type is an inverted triangle. Distinctive features: large chest, broad shoulders, narrow hips and no waist. Here we will concentrate on the lower part of the body from the waist to the hips. That is, accents and accessories should be in the hip area. The corset in this case will help to make the waist chiseled and slender, visually enlarge the hips and align with the shoulders. In the case of high corsets, discard any accessories on the top of the model.
