HISTORY
OF
CORSET
FIRST
TIME
THE
CORSET
WAS
SEEN
The
earliest
image
of
a
corset
was
recorded
in
2000
BC,
the
image
is
of
a
Crete
Women,
and
the
arScle
of
clothing
that
was
worn
was
what
we
would
perceive
to
be
a
corset.
However
it
was
worn
as
an
outergarments.
While
typically
the
corset
has
been
used
as
underclothes,
there
have
been
instances
where
it
is
used
as
outer
garments.
Corsets
are
sSll
seen
as
outer
garments
in
the
naSonal
dress
of
many
European
countries
EARLIEST
FORM
OF
THE
CORSET
The
earliest
form
of
the
corset,
that
was
used,
as
it
is
present
day,
was
the
CoZee.
The
CoZee
was
a
Sght
elongated
bodice
that
was
worn
under
clothing.
It
was
made
up
of
sS
linen
and
worn
under
bodice,
as
fashion
evolved,
so
did
the
CoZee;
it
became
Sghter
and
sSer
to
beZer
serve
the
fashion
of
the
Sme.
Elizabethan
fashion
was
famous
for
very
sS
bodices,
thus
in
the
16th
century
whalebones
began
being
used
in
corsets
for
the
purpose
of
keeping
its
structure.
It
became
the
staple
tool
in
the
fashion
as
it
gave
a
geometrically
straight
line
in
the
bodice.
They
also
began
using
an
addiSve
to
the
corset
called
the
Busk,
which
was
an
arScial
edge
that
was
given
to
the
bodice.
The
busk
was
typically
made
out
of
wood,
horn,
ivory,
metal
or
whale
bone,
it
was
then
carved
and
shaped
into
a
thin
paper
knife
shape
and
inserted
into
the
Elizabethan
bodice
and
was
faceted
and
held
into
place
by
lace.The
lace
was
used
so
that
the
Busk
can
easily
be
placed
and
removed
and
it
was
o`en
used
for
special
occasions
and
events.
16th
to
late
17th
centuries
The
earliest
corsets
were
called
"payre
of
bodies"
and
were
usually
worn
with
a
farthingale
that
held
out
the
skirts
in
a
sS
cone.
The
payre
of
bodies,
later
called
stays,
turned
the
upper
torso
into
a
matching
cone
or
cylinder.
They
had
shoulder
straps
and
ended
in
aps
at
the
waist.
They
aZened
the
bust,
and
in
so
doing,
pushed
the
breasts
up.
The
emphasis
of
the
stays
was
less
on
the
smallness
of
the
waist
than
on
the
contrast
between
the
rigid
atness
of
the
bodice
front
and
the
curving
tops
of
the
breasts
peeking
over
the
top
of
the
corset.
HISTORICAL
CORSETS
18th
century
The
predominant
forms
of
stays
in
the
18th
century
was
an
inverted
conical
shape,
o`en
worn
to
create
a
contrast
between
a
rigid
quasi-cylindrical
torso
above
the
waist
and
heavy
full
skirts
below.
Primary
purpose
of
18th- century
stays:
was
to
raise
and
shape
the
breasts,
Sghten
the
midri,
support
the
back,
improve
posture
to
help
a
woman
stand
straight,
with
the
shoulders
down
and
back,
and
only
slightly
narrow
the
waist,
creaSng
a
'V'
shaped
upper
torso
over
which
the
outer
garment
would
be
worn.

POPULARISATION
OF
CORSET
MADONNA
The
Iconic
Cone-Cupped
Corset
GaulSer
and
Madonnas
platonic
love
for
each
other
began
with
a
corset.
During
her
controversial
1990
AmibiSon
Tour,
Madonna
donned
the
infamous
cone-cupped
corset
designed
by
GaulSer,
a
corset
that
has
not
only
cemented
Madges
reputaSon
as
the
ercest
singer
in
pop
but
also
pumped
the
designers
status
to
new
heights.
Roughly
a
month
later
and
22
years
a`er
the
rst
cone-cupped
corset
Madonna
sported
a
reinterpreted
version
of
the
cone
bra
during
her
MDNA
tour.
This
Sme
around,
GaulSer
played
with
the
concept
of
masculinity
and
femininity
and
gave
the
corset
a
skeletal
cage
look.
