Abstract

Through over four centuries women of Western world wore corsets to present their social status, sexuality and beauty. Furthermore, women wore different types of corsets, to mirror the mood of each era, from strict cone-shaped model that represented power and strenght, to the ‘‘hourglass model’’ were modesty, fragility and passivity represented the ideal female figure. Women nowadays continue wearing corsets. One model which is featured in the media is the hourglass corset shape that became the iconic corset shape.
