18th- 19th Century Corsets

Eighteenth-century corsets were used to raise and shape the breast, tighten the midriff, support the back. This helped to improve posture  with the shoulders down and back. These corsets only slightly narrow the waist. Well-fitting eighteenth-century corsets were quite comfortable, did not restrict breathing.

During the Regency the corset became the main support of the bust because of the empire line dresses it wasn't needed to hold in the waist.
