Sexy Corsets, Bustiers and Babydolls: What's the Difference?

By Danielle

Corsets, bustiers, babydolls - Oh my! You've heard the names before, but do you know exactly what they are? And do you know how and when to wear them?

Corsets were first used to girdle, push in and re-shape a woman's waist. Since the days of knights in shining armor and helpless princesses, though, corsets have lost most of their function and are used mainly as a fashionable lingerie piece. Take a look at a modern corset and you'll notice that they generally include boning and lacing. They look glamorous and elegant and will do wonders for giving you that hourglass figure that women, and men, lust after. Your waist will look so tiny, people won't believe it.

Similar to the corset is the bustier. A bustier is often a little racier and covers less skin than a traditional corset. It is a sultry, strapless, form-fitting type of lingerie. As the name suggests, a bustier's main job is to push up the breasts and enhance their appearance. It fits from your bust down to your waist and it can be worn underneath another sexy outfit as a pseudo push-up bra or as an entire outfit in itself. Bustiers often come with garter straps so you can attach thigh-high hosiery with ease. This little number will help you achieve the hourglass figure of Hollywood starlets with the closure of a few clasps.

The term "babydoll" is used to describe everything from a sheer, sleeveless nightgown to a much racier lingerie piece used in clubs. Try one with satin bows, or trimmed with marabou. How about a mesh babydoll? Babydolls are fabulous for showcasing your exquisite abs. Babydolls are sweet, sexy and definitely aren't just for bedtime.

But where can you pull off a corseted, bustier or babydoll look? Corsets can be worn anywhere, from classy events like art shows and restaurants to nightclubs and bars depending on what you wear them with. Try a corset with a matching thong and pair of simple stockings for a hot outfit that will make men go ga-ga, in the bedroom or on the pole. Bustiers and babydolls are also perfect club or bedroom wear.

A gorgeous way to finish any lingerie outfit is to put on a little bronzer and glitter lotion, specifically on your collarbone and legs. You will look sparkly, shiny and bronze - and look great in candlelight. So whatever piece you choose - corset, bustier or babydoll lingerie -- you will dazzle whoever happens to be watching you!
