Corsets and Cinchers
A corset shapes the torso, specifically the waist. A traditional corset is constructed of soft, fine fabric, lace and rigid boning, giving the wearer a sexy hourglass shape. Many styles of lingerie are called corsets because of their lacing, but true corsets are made by dedicated corsetmakers.
