![]() The corset is a foundation garment designed to shape the wearer's body. It could be innerwear or outerwear, but changes the human figure regardless. It enforces posture. It shrinks the waist and gives a more pronounced hourglass shape to the core area. If worn tightly enough, it can inhibit normal breathing. And yet you've worn one anyway. If you are from a historical setting, it could be the fashion of the time. Maybe you wear it because your partner thinks it looks sexy. It could be involuntary, a tool for bondage and restriction. If you've taken to crossdressing for any reason, it can help you attain the illusion of femininity. Perhaps it is linked to an enchantment and won't unlace until some magical requirement has been fulfilled. Or maybe you've put it on only to take it off during a slow burlesque. Wearing something different could spice up even the most mundane settings. Let's explore how different life becomes once we lace up and cinch ourselves in. |
