A corset is different from a bustier in may
ways. Traditionally, there are two types of corsets: the underbust corset, which
stops right under the bust region of the wearer, and the overbust corset, which
provides support to the bust. Almost all corsets continue till the hips of the
wearer to provide rigid control of the body silhouette. For brides, most
corsets are made with steel boning, and these can take literally inches off the
waist of the wearer. Bridal bustier corsets usually have lace at the end
to ensure that they stay put and do not slip at any given point of time.
A proper bridal bustier corset is a
hybrid of a bustier and a corset. It rigidly controls the body and continues
till the waist and covers the hips, but is also made of comparatively softer
materials and is more elastic than a traditional corset would be. Most brides
prefer this as it gives them the best of both worlds while maintaining a degree
of comfort. Bridal bustier corsets are usually available for as little
as $60 and most large companies and retail stores carry them. It usually takes
a few dress fittings before the bride to be can settle on one particular
undergarment and this is absolutely normal.
It is not advisable to hurry through this
process as if a bride purchases the wrong size, it can be very uncomfortable
and may not be as effective.
