There’s just something about corsets that instantly transports me back to the 1800s—days when burlesque was thriving, bosoms were heaving, and debauchery was an underground affair. And though these pieces once served as supportive undergarments and waist cinchers, they’ve transitioned into seriously sexy lingerie must-haves. Plus-size lingerie corsets are so much more than the 19th century iterations we’ve seen on our TV screens (Shout out to Bridgerton. Swoon.) and definitely worth shopping in 2021. Even if corsets doesn’t necessarily fit well under our clothes for daily wear, they make the perfect addition to any lingerie collection. Plus, the Duke of Hastings would definitely approve. Just saying.
Honestly, who cares if plus-size lingerie corsets aren’t the most practical pieces to shop? They’re sexy—and that’s all that really matters in the long run. If you’re itching for some lingerie to spice up your nights (or mirror selfies), you really can’t go wrong with a corset. Try one with a matching bra and panty set or go bold and let your corset serve as the star of your lingerie ensemble. Bright hues or classic black, there’s no wrong way to wear these beauts.
Sometimes it’s worth spending some extra coin on a piece that make you feel confident and hot. And in that case, you might as well add a few plus-size lingerie corsets to your wardrobe ASAP. Pose in front of your selfie camera or show off for your boo—Either way, you’re going to look absolutely stunning.
