How did corset dresses come to be? We’re taking a look at the history and comeback of these iconic event staples.
The History and Comeback of Corset Dresses
Corset dresses have a rich history, dating back to the 16th century. Originally, they were used to shape and structure a female figure and were typically made of giant reeds and whalebone. They were worn under clothing to cinch the waist and create the iconic hourglass silhouette. Until the 18th century, corsets were used to mold the upper torso into a cone-linked shape, but now corsets are typically laced from the back through metal eyelets that create a tighter fit.
In the 19th and 20th centuries corsets became a large part of formal wear and was seen as a symbol of status. Through the Gilded Age, the more restrictive the corset was, the more it suggested wealth. This was suggested since only someone with help could manage wearing something so restrictive and intricate.
Like anything in the fashion world, the trends come and go, then come back around again. Corsets trends declined during the rise of the flapper era. During this time, not wearing restrictive clothing was portrayed as an act of liberation. Corset trends rose again in the 1980s where they experienced a revival in fashion that is still relevant today.
Today, corsets are often used as a fashion statement, not just a shape wear garment, and made consciously to improve comfort and functionality.
