Usually worn as fetish clothing or costume nowadays since corsets fell out of fashion during the 1920s, the corset dress is usually worn to make a woman's figure more alluring and desirable by flaunting breasts, flattening the tummy, and emphasizing all its positives while hiding the negatives. A literal combination of a dress and a corset, corset dresses can be worn outdoors for costume balls and other events.
The corset dresses where the corset extends the length of the dress are also known as hobble corsets. Women who wear these dresses may walk limply as if they are injured. Their legs are impeded and movement is limited. Women will find it very difficult to sit down while wearing a corset dress.
More of a fashion statement than 'casual wear' or 'comfortable wear' in the literal sense of the words, corset dresses are usually worn to show off the expensive materials used on it, the unique shape that it gives the body in an instant and the general seductiveness that the dress exudes.
The boning in the corset dress makes it rigid, and is often worn by Gothic people or for sexual arousal.
As such, corset dresses are usually relegated to bondage wear; that is, it becomes a bondage corset. A bondage corset, used for BDSM, is a full-figured corset that is sometimes called a discipline corset. These corsets are often designed to be worn for long periods of time, including overnight and while sleeping. If they are not designed as such, they can be extremely uncomfortable if fallen asleep in.
Though modern corset dresses often feature lacing and/or boning and generally mimic a historical style of corsets, they have very little if any effect on the shape of the wearer's body. That is, though they may maximize or minimize a person's figure, they're not really like the historical corsets of the past, with some available in separate corset tops and skirts while others featuring built-in corsets for upper torso support only.
