Etymology

The corset has a long history dating back to ancient civilizations such as Greece and Rome. It became particularly popular during the Renaissance and Victorian eras when women wore corsets to achieve the fashionable silhouette of the time. While corsets have been criticized for their restrictive nature, they have also been seen as symbols of femininity and beauty. In modern times, corsets are still used in certain fashion and costume designs.
