DISCOVER OUR COLLECTION OF CORSET DRESSES
Corset dresses have an amazing and rich history that dates back several centuries. Here is a glimpse into this famous history!
THE HISTORY OF CORSET DRESSES!
The first corsets for women were worn by noblewomen as early as the 16th century. These high-end slimming garments were designed to slim the waist all evening and compress the bust, especially with straps. They were often too rigid and above all quite uncomfortable, but they were considered a symbol of the highest social status.
In the 18th century, they evolved to become more comfortable in response to the problems identified over time. They also began to be adorned with lace, satin finishes, and other details to make them more charming and classy. The corset dress appeared at this time, as voluminous petticoats were worn to create a bell-shaped silhouette.
In the 19th century, corset outfits were improved with the introduction of a petticoat. Tops also began to be designed with a different purpose: to provide a more chic style while incorporating comfort.
In the 1900s, corsets became even more comfortable. The dresses added to them evolved greatly to feature details such as ruffles, lace, and gathered tulle.
In the 20th century, corsets lost popularity, and women began to turn to more practical clothing. However, corset dresses remained a popular evening garment, worn for occasions such as weddings and balls.
Corsets began to be worn as outerwear, and skirts were added with various patterns such as floral prints. This is how the version we call the corset dress today was born. Today's corset dresses are largely inspired by Victorian corset styles, but they do not have the same structure.
Nowadays, corset dresses continue to be a popular choice for various occasions, whether formal or casual. They are often paired with accessories such as high-heeled shoes and jewelry to create an elegant look.
BUT WHAT IS A CORSET DRESS?
It is simply a classic dress with a corset built into its structure, or added on top, to provide support, rigidity, and a reduced waistline. This makes them just as comfortable as modern clothing, with the added benefit of having the shape of a corset without feeling compressed.
WHY WEAR A CORSET DRESS?
Vivienne Westwood's 2012 collection brought corset dresses to the runways, while several celebrities were seen wearing a corset dress at an evening event or awards ceremony, which greatly contributed to popularizing this feminine garment. Eva Longoria and Monica Bellucci can be mentioned as having recently adopted this sparkling fashion piece!
Wearing a corset dress to an evening event, ball, or gala is a bold statement in classic and contemporary fashion. Whether you like it pink, red, or black, a beautiful corset dress will enhance your figure by reducing your waistline.
Unlike a strapless dress, which will be without boning but just as beautiful to wear, the corset dress offers the advantage of being an element that slightly alters the silhouette by highlighting your best features, especially by concealing curves and any possible bulges.

Among the various dresses we offer in our store, there is at least one that will suit your tastes. Casual evening dresses, others for a wedding, and lighter ones for summer, as well as the usual little black dress. We have the ideal style to make you look glamorous!

WHICH CORSET DRESS SHOULD YOU WEAR?
There is no ideal time per se, but there are occasions that are even more suitable for wearing a beautiful corset dress. Whenever you want to be an attractive woman looking your best, it is worth wearing this superb garment.
You can also opt for a corset dress with more or less detail, depending on your preference:
-A sleeveless style.

WHAT ACCESSORIES SHOULD YOU WEAR WITH THEM?
As a garment of timeless elegance, a corset dress can be worn with a variety of accessories to create different styles. Here are some accessory suggestions we can offer to complete a corset dress:
- A pair of high-heeled shoes: High heels of at least 5 cm are an obvious choice for a red corset dress for example, as they lengthen every woman's legs and give an elegant, cinched look as well. Pumps, high-strapped sandals in summer, or tall leather ankle boots can be options to consider.
- - Jewelry: It is best to choose simple jewelry so as not to overload the look. Gold dangling earrings or a chic pearl necklace can complete the outfit.
- - A discreet clutch or handbag: For a distinguished look, a clutch is a perfect choice to complete a corset dress. For a more casual look, a small crossbody bag can be a good option.
- - A jacket or cardigan: If you are wearing a corset dress for an occasion, a jacket or bolero can add an extra subtle touch of modernity to your outfit.
- - Tights: Dark or lighter-colored tights, depending on your preference and complexion, can add a touch of glamour and elegance to a dress.
Ultimately, the choice of accessories depends on the style and color of your dress, as well as the occasion. It is important to choose accessories that enhance your corset dress while creating a harmonious and balanced look.
