Corsets are made of leather or cloth with a wire grille or whalebone grille called "ribs" or "stays" and it laces up the back. It fits under the chest and above the hips. It's meant to slim your figure and in the early nineteenth century, waist sizes were as small as 16-18 inches. However, men in the early nineteenth century also wore corsets under their clothing because then, they aimed for an "hourglass" figure.
