Let's talk about: Corsets

Corsets have been a huge influence on the wedding dress look. A corset slims the brides' waist and allows for a second skirt to be used during the reception so that transferring from ceremony to reception is less of a problem.

A lady with an hourglass figure may find it easier to wear a corset top to keep the pains of having the dress seriously altered off the playing field. Some dresses are just not made for a woman with a larger bust, and larger hips. This is also true for bridesmaids. 

Corsets not only give the front of the dress a bit of interest, but give the bride or dress-wearer the option of choosing a colored lace for the back of the dress and add some beautiful interest to the back of a gown. Of course, the usual perks of wearing a corset apply. The curves are accentuated, and torso is thinned out so that the wearer has a more interesting shape, and no shapewear needs to be worn beneath. The corset also gives the wearer bust support, which is incredibly important for the woman with a larger bust. 

Of course, the corset also gives the bride options for a two-toned dress as well, and the base of the corset may either be hidden by a slip-over cover or a sash to make the dress look more like one piece. Some corsets are made to be shown off, and have no need to be hidden at all. The possibilities of the corset are endless, and can really add to a classy look when paired with a lace sleeve-jacket, or worn with the proper skirt.
