Did You Know?

In the beginning of the 15th century, a resemblance of the corset started as breastplates and armor men wore. Later in the century, the Gothic period shaped fashion into more formfitting attire. Although there were no official corsets at the time, bodices that were stiffened with extra fabric and brass or wire started to make appearances. By the Renaissance Era, 16th Century, men started fashion of polished and decorated breastplates for top officials. Women in Spain began to desire a more figure representing fashion as well and hence developed the corset. The first corsets were made out of heavy fabric, canvas, or leather and stiffened with wood or metal. The first corsets were not intended to decrease the size of ones waist, simply accentuate it and create an announcement of wealth or upper class.
