Basque and Corset

The basque: nothing has ever beaten it for achieving a truly worthy wasp waist!

The basque dresses the body in a very flattering and subtle way, without revealing too much, and that is its whole appeal: it suggests and stokes desire… It consists of a kind of corset that extends into a suspender belt, to which it is naturally fitting to attach a pair of stockings.

It is an iconic piece of lingerie that has stood the test of time without losing any of its allure or sex-appeal! Its invention was attributed to fashion designer Marcel Rochas, who reportedly created it especially for Mae West, a famous American actress and singer, and a true sex symbol of the 1920s. Oh yes, the basque is a French invention!

Naturally, this is the kind of attire that makes you want to strut your stuff and even put on a show! It remains very popular among burlesque striptease enthusiasts and professionals alike, so if this world inspires you, you are in the right place.

And if you prefer not to bother with classic stockings, you can opt for the bodysuit, a safe bet in its own right, and pair it with, why not, some hold-up stockings.

The bustier, the ideal solution for a wasp waist

The great advantage of the bustier gold corset, compared to the basque for example, is that you can wear it as lingerie, but also as outerwear.

Invented in the 16th century, the corset was, at its creation, a sign of nobility. Worn for several centuries, it was gradually abandoned by women as it was too restrictive and uncomfortable.

It made its grand comeback as sexy lingerie in the 1970s thanks to fashion designer Chantal Thomass. But it was in 1990 and thanks to Madonna and her famous Jean Paul Gauthier corset that this piece returned to the spotlight.

It is widely used today, whether in intimate settings gold under the spotlight. Far from the first corset models, today's versions are decidedly more comfortable and sexy!
