Corsets and bustiers are very much back in fashion for 2010, it is not a secret, the boom is thanks largely to the popularity of celebrities like Rihanna and Lady GaGa. The corset can achieve things no other garment can and celebrities know that. They will reduce your waist instantly, improve your posture and confidence, can be glamorous, eye-catching and worn in many different ways.

But do I wear a corset top, bustier or basque lingerie? The answer begins by defining the differences between a corset top, bustier and basque. The corset top is an over garment that has structure and is designed to sculpt the body into a narrow waist shape. A bustier is a piece of women’s clothing which can be worn as an undergarment or an over garment, depending on style and personal taste.

The design of the bustier is similar to a corset, although it tends to be less restrictive. The garment extends from the bosom to the waistline, and is lightly boned. A bustier serves two primary purposes, the first function offers support to the breasts, both making the wearer more comfortable and creating cleavage, and also to shape the waistline slightly.

The fuller version of a bustier is known as a basque, the basque extends down to the hips, smoothing the body from the bosom to the hips. This garment is also not as restrictive as a true corset, but it is more limiting than a bustier. However, wearing a basque ensures that the entire waistline is smoothed, which is prefered by some women.

So when do you wear a basque or corset top, and when do you wear a bustier? The huge range of corset tops entering onto the market are transforming what women wear and when. We now have corset tops that can be worn for clubwear, social nights out such as pubs or dinner parties, formal occasions even corsets tops for shopping.

The corset top teamed with jeans is suitable for upmarket casual events like going out to a restaurant, seeing a film, smart-casual dinner or cocktail parties and evening functions. Choose jeans to help the corset effect with the highest waist you can find. The tummy should be completely beneath the waistband and unless your legs are thin, do not let the jeans grip onto your flesh tightly, you do not want anything bulging out.

Most ladies wear bustier’s to be comfortable, where as corset tops usually take a bit of work to put on and when worn for a long time can be uncomfortable. The key to when you wear a corset top in place of a bustier is simply dictated by how long it will be worn for, and the type of the engagement you will be attending.
