Julianne Moore´s corset

Julianne Moore, like Tori Amos, designed a corset as well. Like in Tori´s case, the corset is hand-made by Frederick´s of Hollywood based upon this design. Proceeds from this sale benefit RAINN (The Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network).

Tori Amos´ Corset

As a corset lover, I´d like to include in my blog some famous corset and this is the first one:

Tori Amos´corset

Tori Amos designed this yellow and black striped corset with feathers, which she titles "Honey Bee." The cups have white flowers at their centers becoming eyes, wire antennas on the cups and wire mesh wings on the back creating a very true-to-life bee. Also present is the original notebook and sketch completed by Tori reading "Honey Bee / With Love / Tori Amos / With Hagene Wist (sic)." The corset is hand-made by Frederick’s of Hollywood based upon this design. Proceeds from this sale benefit RAINN (The Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network).

“New Look” A fashion introduced by Dior in 1947, which featured a narrow, nipped waist (often corsetted) and wide flaring skirts with crinoline propping.

Night Corset Since tightlace training requires consistent wear, devotees will wear a corset at night. It is usually a larger-waisted version than the daytime corset; alternatively, a wide belt is used to keep the organs in place until the next morning. Some will use a tightlacing ribbon corset for this, and for exercising as well.

El "nuevo look" Moda introducida por Dior en 1947, que se caracterizaba por una cintura pronunciadamente estrecha (normalmente encorsetada) y una falda de capa con una almidonada crinolina o tutú.

Corsé de noche. A partir de los numerosos seguidores del entrenamiento de cintura, lo cual implica un entrenamiento constante, saldrá al mercado un corsé para la noche. Es normalmente un modelo más ancho que el corsé de día; alternativamente, también se utilizará una correa ancha para mantener los órganos lugar hasta la mañana próxima. Algunos utilizarán las cintas para atar el corsé para este mismo fin.

Merry Widow (1951) A (usually) non-lacing corset made by Warner's and named after Lehar's operetta. It had a half-cup bust support and long stocking suspenders. The term has come to be used to denote most any corset-like strapless long-line brassiere.

Metal “Mannequin” Mould (Metal Maiden) Dress stand of copper. Corsets when finished were starched and fitted on to these moulds and steamed from the inside to dry out "molded' to the mannequin's shape.

Modesty (Modesty-piece, Modesty Lace) An extra strip of material attached to the top or bottom of a corset with drawstring to adhere to contour of wearer; many times made of gallon lace.

Viuda feliz (1951) Un corsé hecho por Warner y denominado tras la opereta de Lehar. Tenía la copa sólo por la mitad como soporte al busto y ligas largas para las medias. El término se ha utilizado para denominar a la mayoría de los corsés –así como sujetadores sin tirantes y un poco largos.

Molde de metal “Maniquí” (Dama de metal) Soporte de cobre. Los corsés cuando estaban acabados eran almidonados, se ponían en estos maniquíes y se planchaban al vapor desde dentro moldeando la forma del maniquí (hoy día se utiliza una máquina llamada Toper).

Modestia (trozo de cordón) una tira adicional del mismo material unida a la parte superior del corsé a la inferior para añadir contorno al portador y aumentar su comodidad. A menudo se realizaba con cinta de galón.
