If you want to make the most of your physique, nothing works better than a corset, a cinching garment that is worn around the middle torso of the body to accent the shape and contour of the bust and waist. This undergarment has been a part of women's wardrobe for hundreds of years with its origins traced to England. While the corset was used before for restrain now it is used for giving better shape and control to the woman's body.

During this period of time, women wore corsets for physical support during strenuous activities such as gymnastics and bullfighting. For the women in Greece, the corset was called a "zona," while on the island of Crete the women used heavy rings around their waists and short, bolero-style jackets to support their breasts. However in Rome, a tightly laced corset was a status symbol, and Egyptian women used this type of garment as a part of their daily dress.
