Corset Dress Prom: Many Different Varieties
By Francis Sinclair

Corset dress prom requires specialized measuring as well as fitting and before buying it one could check out the vast collections that are available from corsetieres from all across the world. There are various types of the corset dress prom and they include basic corsets, underbust corsets, overbust corsets, corsets with straps, specialist corsets, Vollers new corsets, and Vollers Classic corsets.

The retail stores selling a corset dress prom are sure to have traditional corsets for women that are beautifully handcrafted and may have traditional black lacing as well as boned corsets in very many different styles. These may range from Victorian classics to modern waist cinchers and the fabric may be silk, satin, cotton or velvet that would adorn the perfect hourglass figure to good effect.

Increased Popularity

Recently Kylie Minogue sported a corset dress prom on stage that had a 16-inch waist and is one of the many stars that have helped to revive the obsession with corset dress proms.

An outfitter could, with a few brief tugs, squeeze one's 26 inch waist into a 24 inch violin-shaped corset dress prom and even though it may be a bit difficult to breathe in, it certainly makes the wearer feel that much more emboldened. The corset dress prom may be a preposterous garment but it holds a fascination for women as it helps liberate the woman from bustles as well as hoped skirts.

The corset dress prom is very popular and this may be evident from Madonna's conical brassieres and the film Dangerous Liaisons which helped push corset dress proms sales to touch the sky. There may not be any clear understanding about why, given the fickleness of fashions, that women harbor an undaunted affection towards the corset dress prom.

It could be because of the passion that is ignited by literature or television or from Hollywood with its Vivian Leigh's yelling for her corset laces to be pulled tighter. Even so staid an institution like the BBC has not been spared and many of the actors in their dramas sport corset dress proms.

In the thirteenth century, the corset arrived and seven centuries later one may have finally broken out of them. Nevertheless, one still drools over the hourglass silhouette and this is most noticeable in burlesque as well as is seen in the booming of exotic and expensive lingerie labels. Its popularity may be ascribed to its freezing the female form into a never ending state of being in flagrante which is most evident in the arched back and heaving bosom. The main attraction of having a corset dress prom is that it exaggerates the ratio of waist to hips and the silhouette has a sexual appeal at a very primeval level.
