Corset tops are generally made out of a fabric that can easily move; however, there are a variety of corsets that feature soft leather as the material. Corsets also feature some form of pulling device. This could be a ribbon, rope or tassel. These parts are used to tighten the garment around the person.
Wearing a nice, tight corset smooths out the bumps and lumps that have popped up in places where women don't want them. Added benefits of wearing proper corsets are that they give the bosom a lift. These days, corsets have been replaced by the tight, smooth undergarment version made of synthetic fabric and elastic.
Warnaco is a company that opened in 1874 making corsets.
