There is a dirty misconception that lingerie is only for him.  It can be something that a man enjoys considerably, but that is not the only concern when it comes to lingerie.  Like any costume, it can have the affect of changing how a person feels. 

 

Find the body shapers that help you feel like the ferocious woman that you are.  You can feel as good as you want to and you don’t only have to do it because you think it is what he wants, you can do it because it is fun and exciting for you.

plus size shapewear

I am a full-figured woman and I am proud of my body. Even though I am quite big, I know that I can still attract a lot of attention. There’s nothing to be ashamed of about being big.

 

But I am also glad that I have found plus size shapewear in your catalogue. It helps me accentuate all of my best parts. Thanks a lot!


What’s a Corset?

Both men and women are known to wear corsets, though women are more common wearers.

 

The most common and well-known use of corsets is to slim the body and make it conform to a fashionable silhouette. For women this most frequently emphasizes a curvy figure, by reducing the waist, and thereby exaggerating the bust and hips (see photo). However, in some periods, corsets have been worn to achieve a tubular straight-up-and-down shape, which involves minimizing the bust and hips.

 

For men, corsets are more customarily used to slim the figure. However, there was a period from around 1820 to 1835 when an hourglass figure (a small, nipped-in look to the waist) was also desirable for men; this was sometimes achieved by wearing a corset.

 

An overbust corset, like body shapers, encloses the torso, extending from just under the arms to the hips. An underbust corset begins just under the breasts and extends down to the hips. Some corsets extend over the hips and, in very rare instances, reach the knees (example). A shorter kind of corset, which covers the waist area (from low on the ribs to just above the hips), is called a ‘waist cincher’. A corset may also include garters to hold up stockings (alternatively a separate garter belt may be worn for that).

 

Normally a corset supports the visible dress, and spreads the pressure from large dresses, such as the crinoline and bustle. Sometimes a corset cover is used to protect outer clothes from the corset and to smooth the lines of the corset.
