The first recorded corset originated from Crete in Greece and was worn by the Minoan people.
Images on ancient pottery show both women and men sporting form fitting belts and vests with leather rings or straps that constrict and shape the waist.
Many centuries later, the 1500’s, French aristocrat Catherine de Medici made an influential mark in fashion by banning ‘thick waists’ at court. Wealthy women of the time began wearing corsets in public and a fashion trend was born where instead of shaping clothes to the body, the body began to conform to fashion.
In the centuries since, the corset has evolved but it’s purpose has stayed the same – accentuate the body and present the ever-alluring “S” shape.
There is no doubt a corset is seductive and alluring.
It is a power player in the kinkster wardrobe and almost always takes center stage even when part of an ensemble or overall “look.”
It used to be much more of a specialty purchase. You had to know a corset maker and invest time into the fittings. And, that was usually not so available to the ‘thicker’ folks like me way back-back-in-the-day. If my memory serves me correctly, we had to travel to NYC for a corset when I was youngster kinkster b/c it was custom piece.
Oh how the times have changed.
Fortunately, we are seeing more and more fetish fashion options AND corsets for curvy & plus sized folks. It really makes me happy for the younger kinksters, who now have so many options at their fingertips to express themselves through kink, and corset, fashion.
Here’s a hand picked, varied collection of plus size corsets that I had a lot of FUN searching out and finding for you all. I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I do. If you purchase any of ’em, I’d LOVE to see a pic of you in it! If you post it on socials, PLEASE tag me!
PAINT SPLATTER CORSET
WHY I LIKE:
It’s simple, clean & lean in it’s structure design, but the paint splatter gives is just the right amount of pizzazz and FUN!
Plus, it’s got spandex to form fit and just the right amount of give.

Moulin Rouge. Can-Can Girl. Old Timey Saloon Gal. Witchy. Burlesque. Victorian like. Pin-up.
So versatile. So playful.

RAINBOW & FISHNET BUSTIER CORSET
WHY I LIKE:
Sometimes, all you really need is a corset style bustier for just the right amount of pop or accent.
This one is different from most of the solid, single color buster’s we always see.
I love the see-through fishnet because it can be FIRE over nude skin!
Plus, the rainbow coloring…Great for Pride events too!

STEAMPUNK-WARRIOR CORSET
WHY I LIKE:
First of all, I’ve got a lot of ‘rugged’ inside me, so this type of Mad Max (look it up, it’s an oldster reference) warrior-look tickles me.
Second, sometimes, I just LOVE having different textures and accessories. This has brocade, leather, belts, pouch, a belted high collar, O-rings, etc.
I dig the hardware.
For me, these added things sometimes distract the eye from stuff about my body I don’t like. I know you know!
PLUS, it’s cosplay-like, and just plain FUN.

SATIN STRAPPY BUCKLE CORSET
WHY I LIKE:
I like the belts.
But, what I like more is the zip-up. It’s easy to deal with getting in an out of, and that’s tops for me.
I also like how it directs the eye towards the core of the body. This has always served me well when I wished to emphasize things about my body I liked, and distracted the eye from things I didn’t care for so much at the moment.
I also love that the decorative belting gives is just enough *extra* while delivering a badass simplicity.

RED LACE UP CORSET
WHY I LIKE:
It’s sexy AF!
Anytime there’s see-through and skin is the understory, it’s se-duc-tion!
Couple that with the leather and it screams Kinkster du Badass.

GOLDEN BROCADE CORSET
WHY I LIKE:
Brocade always has an air of sophistication to it. I guess because we associate it with Victorian-ish royalty.
I REALLY like the message this corset sends. It’s not always about dominance.
Corsets are pretty.
I’d feel pretty in this.

SHINY & FISHNET BUSTIER CORSET
WHY I LIKE:
For me personally, it harkens back to my youth when Madonna would wear something exactly like this in the 80’s.
Modern day, I love the alternating texture between the fishnet & leather. Plus, the D-rings are a kinkster staple.
This type of cincher is an eye distracter and I’m all for working the clothing to direct the eye where we want.

SATIN & LACE BABYDOLL CORSET
WHY I LIKE:
Can you get any more babydoll?
Satin, and lace, and ribbons, OH MY!
For when you want to express your softer side.

RED BUSTIER CORSET
WHY I LIKE:
A shiny bustier / corset is a kinkster staple.
I often see black ones, that’s why I wanted to feature the red here.
I like how complimentary red is to most folks and it packs a punch of sexiness while also dancing with some of the fetishes out there;)

WHY I LIKE:
We’ve seen a wonderful cross-over and blend between the Renaissance, cosplay & kink community and it’s been such a joyful and interesting thing to witness for an old kinkster like me!

I mean, I’m all down for being a Ho Ho Ho Heaux.
