Corsets can change the way you look and feel, our corset expert Sophie Dubois said “Corsets give a woman confidence, posture and even more confidence!” A corset ensures that a woman walks upright and proud, giving a sleek hourglass silhouette.
The purpose of a corset is to pull you in, and therefore when ordering a corset you should order a waist size two to four inches smaller than your natural waist line, depending on how dramatic a change you want.
To Find your perfect corset, Mio Destino has created two corset size guides.
• Corset Sizing
• How To Put On A Corset
Corsets uplift the breasts, nip in the waist and flatten the stomach, as well as improving posture. This will create a fabulous hourglass shape.
There are two categories Mio Destino Corsets fall under:
• Overbust Corset
• Underbust Corset/Waspies
The Sweetheart corset neckline is called this due to the heart shaped line across the chest. This corset shape is ideal for women with bigger chests, as the defined shape supports and lifts the breasts, while creating show stopping cleavage.
The Victoriana corsets lie straight across the bust, giving small breasts uplift, this style of corset is not as supportive as some other corset shapes as it is lower, but gives breathtaking cleavage.
The Burlesque corset shape curves across the body in a u-shape, peaking at the sides. The burlesque corset works best on women with bigger chests, providing fabulous support and uplift.
Corset trends - Nowadays corsets are worn more as outerwear than underwear. Corsets feature year upon year in the catwalk shows of designers such as Vivienne Westwood and Dolce and Gabbana. Designers such as Tom Ford and Nicolas Ghesquiere of Balenciaga have recreated the shape of corsets in their collections. This year the focus has been on the Waspie (an underbust corset), worn over clothes to make an incredible waist.
