A corset is a garment worn to mold and shape the torso into a desired shape for aesthetic or orthopaedic purposes (either for the duration of wearing it, or with a more lasting effect). They may be worn by men or women. Corsets are traditionally made from cloth material; latex and leather are used for corset designed for the fetish/BDSM market.
Originally an item of lingerie, the corset has become a popular item of outerwear in the fetish, BDSM and goth subcultures. In the fetish and BDSM literature, there is often much emphasis on tightlacing. In this case, the corset may still be underwear rather than outerwear.
Since the late 1980s, the corset has experienced periodic revivals, which have usually originated in haute couture and which have occasionally trickled through to mainstream fashion. These revivals focus on the corset as an item of outerwear rather than underwear. The strongest of these revivals was seen in the Autumn 2001 fashion collections and coincided with the release of the film Moulin Rouge!, the costumes for which featured many corsets.
The majority of garments sold as corsets during these recent revivals cannot really be counted as corsets at all. While they often feature lacing and boning, and generally mimic a historical style of corset, they have very little effect on the shape of the wearer's body.
The rubberdom ondage corset, used for BDSM, is a full-figured corset that is sometimes called a discipline corset. A bondage corset is very long, rigid, and restricting. It is constructed to place severe limitations on the wearer's movements. It generally extends to just above the knees, and is constructed to be laced very tightly. Thus it is impossible to sit down while wearing one, and movement of the thighs is restricted, often making walking difficult.
These corsets are often designed to be worn for long periods of time, including overnight and while sleeping. If they are not designed as such, they can be extremely uncomfortable if fallen asleep in.. ;-)
