A bustier is a lingerie garment that extends from the bosom to the waist and can be worn as an undergarment or outerwear. It offers support to the breasts, shapes the waist, and can be worn with a variety of clothing.
A bra is a piece of women’s clothing that can be worn as an undergarment or as a garment, depending on personal style and taste. It is usually classified as lingerie and is also associated with sexual attractiveness. Many lingerie stores sell bustiers, which must be fitted to fit for the best look, much like a bra. When trying one on, a woman should pay close attention to how the garment feels on the body, taut seams, and the fit in the chest area. It may require some adjustment to get it to fit correctly, or it may be the wrong size. The wearer should take the time to properly position a bustier for her comfort.
The design of a bustier resembles a corset, although it tends to be less restrictive. The garment extends from the bosom to the waist and is slightly boned. It serves two main functions. The first feature offers support to the breasts, making the wearer feel more comfortable and creating cleavage. A bodice also shapes the waist slightly.
The most complete version of this underwear is known as basque. A basque extends to the hips, smoothing the body from the breast to the hips. This garment is also not as restrictive as a true corset, but it is more restrictive than a bustier. However, wearing a basque ensures that the entire waist is smoothed out, which some women prefer.
When worn as an undergarment, a bustier is generally intended to shape and smooth the body. Numerous garments can be worn over it, although care must be taken to ensure that the seams and patterns of the bodice do not show through, unless this is a deliberately desired effect. As a base layer, it can also be worn with a slip, to smooth out the seams and ease the transition to the lower body.
A bustier can also be worn as outerwear. In public, formal bustiers can be worn over dresses or long skirts. Depending on personal taste, the abdomen can be uncovered or covered. A formal garment tends to be thick, so the flesh doesn’t show underneath, and can potentially be worn at events like gala openings, balls, and dinner parties.
Bustiers designed for the bedroom tend to be much more elegant and fanciful. The focus is on form, rather than function, and you can integrate sheer elements, embroidery, taping, and other embellishments that would look out of place on other types of bustiers. Those worn as lingerie can run the gamut from edgy to tasteful, and can be worn with a variety of other clothing as well.
