Bustier bra: here's how and when to wear it
When it comes to choosing a bra, there is a huge choice to pay attention to : there are so many splendid models , after all the history of this much-loved garment is full of attention to the needs of all women.
Precisely because of this vastness, every now and then we need someone to clarify our ideas , so that we always know what is best suited to every occasion: that is precisely what we are here for , our experience allows us to advise women always taking into account the uniqueness of each one, precious from our point of view.
In this article, we'll discuss one of the most popular styles: the bustier bra . This is a women's garment that can be worn differently depending on the occasion and personal taste.
Bustier bra: what it is and what its main function is
The bustier bra (also called a bustier bra or corset ) is similar to a bodice but tends to be less restrictive . It starts at the breasts and reaches down to the waist , performing the dual function of supporting the breasts and shaping the waistline.
The main function of the garment remains that of slightly smoothing the female body, enhancing its curves , for this reason it is right to pay more attention than usual to the size, the seams and the general composition of the model.
In most cases, it is more correct to use it without seams under clothes, taking risks with lace, embroidery and fine fabrics if you want to wear it on special or formal occasions or combining it with long, tight skirts or any type of garment.
In short, each of us should have a bustier bra in the wardrobe because it can save us when we need to dare and – above all – because it was a must-have in past fashions, and we know that all vintage items come back into fashion! Let's see how women of the past wore it.
The history of the corset
The history of the bustier begins in Ancient Greece , when the concept of underwear as we know it today did not yet exist, but it seems that – even then – the useful solution to maintaining a high and firm breast and a physique in line with the expectations of the time was precisely the corset.
Despite this, starting from the sixteenth century, this garment became fundamental for the women of the time, who adorned it in every way and to make it truly “effective” in shaping life, they inserted whale bones, metals and various splints into the tissues , often at the expense of their own health.
Already during the following century, fabrics became more delicate and precious: silk, satin, and lace adorned corsets , in addition to padding that filled the lack of shape. Once again, during the Rococo period —along with the cage to volumize skirts (the panier) —rigid boning returned, modifying the female body.
Such excessive inflexibility , unfortunately, led to numerous health problems , as well as fainting, bone malformations and significant breathing difficulties, but these were not necessary to make it go out of fashion.
Fortunately, shortly after, industries began to make them in softer fabrics and with the subsequent revolutions the corset was abolished in support of greater female freedom , precisely because it was seen as a futile constraint.
In any case, these days this garment is perfectly in line with female needs, as well as being extremely comfortable, sensual, useful and a perfect ally for all women.
How to wear a bustier bra: tips from Clara Intimo
What should you look for when wearing a bustier bra ? Let's find out!
The fit is fundamental because it is a tighter garment than usual , so it is better to be precise when it comes to purchasing it , and it is always better to know your measurements perfectly to be on the safe side (after all, this advice applies to all models).
The bustier bra can be seen as a constricting garment , but this is absolutely not the case, on the contrary! The garment can also be more comfortable than a normal bra because it conveys a new sensation and much greater support , given that it also defines the waistline, so comfort is the second prerogative.
A well-made garment is a great investment , so it's best to spare no expense when choosing high- quality fabric, which is essential for the health of our skin. Furthermore, thanks to the meticulous craftsmanship behind every single seam, we avoid any discomfort that could compromise the corset's fit.
