Bust Corset

The bust corset can be subdivided into three. These are;

  • Under bust corset: this corset begins under the bust line to give a great waist shape.

  • Over bust corset: this type of corset is always an outer garment. It could be as a bodice or top on another gown. Unlike the bust corset, it is over the bust.

  • Mid-bust corset: the only difference between this type and other bust corset types is that it begins at the mid-region.
