Wearing Lingerie: Sizzling Secrets
What
is a Bustier?
Most men and even women have no idea what
the difference is between a corset and a bustier. In fact,
there really isn’t much of a difference when you are looking
at the basic design. The main difference is that a bustier
has cups like a bra and a corset does not. Most corsets can
be worn as intimate apparel and as outerwear. A bustier is
generally worn as only intimate apparel. Most bustiers also
do not have shoulders straps attached to them, as well. When
purchasing a busier, you will go according to bra cup size
not S, M, or L like you would for a corset. This is a bra style
top that generally goes to the hips or in some cases is cropped.
Some manufacturers are now adding straps, but for the most
part not. Some styles come with boning for that stiffness and
extra support. Many also have detachable garters for those
lovely sexy stockings. The whole idea of a bustier is to provide
a sleek sexy shape to the waist with supported breast cups
on top.
The great thing about the bustier is that it
is a bra with a torso built into it. So there is absolutely no need to shy
away from the strapless look. Even the largest of breasts will
be held securely in place. A woman will not have to worry that
her everyday movements will force the top down around her waist
and not support her or she will fall out of it. In fact, most
women prefer these to the mainstream strapless bra. The bustier
can even be purchased with or without boning or lacing. The
lacing can come on the front or the back of the bustier. Many
bustiers that have back lacing also offer buttons or hooks
in the front for convenience. You can use this sexy lingerie
under all strapless outfits and know that you look great and
feel awesome underneath, but still have the right support.
There are also those fashion bustiers that are more similar
to corsets so they can be worn as outerwear. These will still
have the separate cups but they will consist of a thicker fabric
and not provide the same restriction in the waist.
First and foremost, you will want to decide
what type of use you want from your bustier. Are you looking for a supportive
undergarment, a sexy intimate item, a dazzling outerwear piece,
or all of the above? It is not so easy to just look at a style
and a size and say that is the one you want. You must be willing
to try them on and know which ones will be most comfortable.
Many of the bustiers that are made as intimate apparel are
sheer or made of lace that can become itchy and scratchy if
worn for long periods of time. If you love the sexiness of
the sheer lacy look you might want to keep it as a “special”
occasion piece for those sultry nights. If you want a sexy,
easy, and comfortable bustier for all day wear then look for
a fabric that is silky and/or satin. This will feel good on
the skin and not make you itchy or scratchy and still look
great after work hours with a sexy outfit. Silks and satins
can also be combined with lace for that shear look with out
being close to your most sensitive parts that can be irritating.
You can go with a cotton
or synthetic blend fabric for your
bustier as well. Not only are these fabrics sexy and soft they
are most comfortable. They breathe well and offer some elasticity
for movement. Many of the styles out in the world today offer
lace or satin trim to add to the sexiness of the lingerie.
The best part about cotton and synthetics is that they are
easily laundered with minimal restrictions. Most can be tossed
in with regular clothing. You would want to lay cotton varieties
out on a flat surface to dry and most synthetics can be placed
right into the dryer with all you other clothes with out damaging.
So, as one can see, the bustier is a great versatile piece
to any woman’s wardrobe.
