History of the Corset-Part 1

16th Century-18th Century

Corsets have a rich and fabulous history and have been a part of society for thousands of years.  This is the first of a series of blogs about the fascinating history of the corset.
The earliest corsets were called ‘payre of bodies’ and later ‘stays’.  The stays created a brilliant cleavage by flattening the bust and pushing the breasts up.  Emphasis was placed on the contrast between this and the flat bodice front with less interest in creating a small waist.  The stays had shoulder straps and the fabric flicked out at the bottom.
The mid 16th century saw corsets become commonly worn amongst women.  From this time to around 1860 corsets were made of stiff layers of linen with wooden busks that were inserted in a pocket at the front to keep the corset straight.
