The corselette is the best of both a girdle and a brassiere. You can wear it without feeling like a Victorian queen when having to take off your several layers; your bra, your girdle, your knickers and waspie!You might also have heard it being called a "control slip" or "shape-wear dress". Actually, I should point out that the second picture (What Katie Did) is actually called a Merry Widow. Confused? Don't be. I have complied my top 3 desert island corselettes! Corselettes allow for beautiful design as well as functionality. Wearing one really feels like every bit of your tummy and hips are being hugged by someone very, very good looking. You can also easily attach it to your stockings, so no need for a suspender belt or girdle! All you need is knickers (if you really want) and stockings and you're all dressed up in the hottest lingerie ensemble. You might even feel tempted just to throw on a fur coat and leave the house but in case you're a bit more shy like me, here's a collection of ways to wear a corselette!
