Open Bust Corsets
Open Lingerie
Open bust corsets have been one of
the open lingerie
favorites as far back as the 16th century with the original queen of fashion, Catherine de Medicis. The open corset is only one of many
open bras
and intimate apparel styles available, and is closely related to a similar
exotic lingerie
style, the open bustier.

What is a corset?
Corset and bustiers
are a wonderful strapless, one piece, fitted bodice that begin at the bust and end at the waist or hips.
Depending on the style open corsets have great support (usually from plastic boning or flexible metal), and a waist cinching and slimming effect a la Scarlett O'Hara. Front or back hook and eyes or lacing closures are most popular; they are open at the breasts, with some styles showing more cleavage than others. Corset lingerie differs from a traditional
bridal bustier
because of the flexible boning which runs vertically up and down, providing more shaping and support.

Flirty Lingerie
Victorian Bustier
During the Victorian era corset bra and corset lingerie became extremely popular. It has waxed and waned over the years, but today Victorian style
open lingerie and
intimate apparel that has a sexy twist is more popular than ever. A Victorian corset bra and bustier can include lace trim, hook and eye attachments and lace up back or fronts. It tends to have more frills and detailing and have a very romantic look and feel. The romantic bridal bustier for women often comes in gorgeous silk, satin, or brocade...for this reason it is often a favorite for brides when they're choosing
bride lingerie.
