But do I wear a corset top, bustier or basque lingerie? The answer begins by defining the differences between a corset top, bustier and basque. The corset top is an over garment that has structure and is designed to sculpt the body into a narrow waist shape. A bustier is a piece of women’s clothing which can be worn as an undergarment or an over garment, depending on style and personal taste.
The design of a bustier resembles a corset, although it tends to be less restrictive. The garment extends from the bosom to the waistline, and is lightly boned. A bustier serves two primary functions. The first function offers support to the breasts, both making the wearer more comfortable and creating cleavage, a bustier also shapes the waistline slightly.
The fuller version of a bustier is known as a basque. A basque extends down to the hips, smoothing the body from bosom to hips. This garment is also not as restrictive as a true corset, but it is more limiting than a bustier. However, wearing a basque ensures that the entire waistline is smoothed, which some women prefer.
So when do you wear a corset top or basque, and when do you wear a bustier? There has been a huge range of corset tops enter onto the market and these new corset tops are transforming what women wear and when. We now have corset tops that can be worn during formal occasions, clubbing, social nights out such as pubs or dinner parties even corsets tops for shopping.
The corset top paired with jeans is suitable for upmarket casual events like going out to a restaurant, or to see a film, smart-casual dinner or cocktail parties and evening functions. To help the corset effect, choose jeans with the highest waist you can find. The stomach should be completely beneath the waistband and unless your legs are thin, do not let the jeans grip onto your flesh tightly, you do not want anything bulging out.
Most ladies wear bustier’s to be comfortable, where as corset tops usually take a bit of work to put on and when worn for a long time can be uncomfortable.
