Etymology
The word 'corset' originates from the Old French term 'cors', meaning 'body', which itself derives from Latin 'corpus', meaning 'body'. The term 'corset' became popular in English in the 16th century, coinciding with the fashion trends of the time that emphasized a slim waist and feminine silhouette. Corsets were made from various materials, including whalebone and steel, and often laced tightly to achieve the desired shape. The use of corsets reached their peak during the Victorian era, when societal standards of beauty placed a significant emphasis on an hourglass figure. However, corsets have been a subject of controversy, with debates surrounding body image, health implications, and feminism emerging in the 20th century. As fashion evolved, the use of corsets declined, but they have seen a resurgence in contemporary fashion and are often associated with both historical styles and modern costume design.
