Whether they be the celebrated curve exaggerations or the dreaded body squeezers, corsets have always been iconic and synonymous with the female form.
They exaggerate the hour-glass figure associated with the ideal female form,: a large bust with tiny waist and curvaceous hips.
21-year-old costume design student, Carly Van Groeningen, partakes in private corset-making classes. Why? Because she loves the challenge and the precision involved in corsetry.
Aris Cologon, 20, model and client of Melinda Hanley, wears Hanley’s steel-boned black silk under-bust corset with white lace hooked busk and back ribbon lacing, for dayor evening wear. Hanley wears her own chalk-striped suiting fabric under-bust corset with waist tie detail.
