"A close-fitting women's undergarment that often tightens and fastens up with hooks and laces. It can extend from above or beneath the bust or from the waist to below the hips, depending on the era from which the undergarment originates. Worn mainly by women, used to shape and support the figure. It was primarily worn over a chemise. The era also determines whether it is made with boning, steel, elastic goring, or cording to keep its shape. It can have straps or be strapless, trimmed with ribbons or lace and sometimes has attachments for garters, depending on the style."@en |
