If you have small breasts, all you want is a nice piece of lingerie that will emphasize your breasts and give you cleavage.
A bustier or corset can be a great solution! Both bustier and corset will push your breasts up by tightening the upper part of your torso. They will give you a flat tummy and straight back.
Corsets are often referred to as a waist cincher. The tightening
will move your breasts upward and give you some cleavage
even if you are an AA cup. If you are an AA, probably a full - over the bust corset - is not for you. Instead, try a bustier with a built in push up bra.
What’s the difference between a bustier and corset?
First of all: the expressions are often used simultaneously so just make sure to take a good look at what you are getting and make sure that’s what you want.
Corset: back in the old days, the whole purpose was to mold your figure and give you an hourly shape. Corsets were worn so tight that women often suffered serious body deformations, sometimes causing ruptured ribs and even lungs! The corsets used to have real fish bones in them. A corset can be a
full corset
or
an underbust corset.
Nowadays the corsets are still pretty tight but nothing compared to the old days and now the fabric of the corset is made out of materials that will let your body move. You can actually bend your body and put on your shoes!
It is more of a top that you wear for fancy occasions.
A well made corset,
especially if it is hand and custom made, requires lots of detailed work and you must be prepared to pay quite a lot... starting from $250!
A corset will make your tummy look smaller and your back straighter. It will force you to keep yourself straighter than a bustier will. Bustiers will not keep you and your tummy area as flat as you might want it. Corsets can make you look an inch or half an inch (2-3 cm) slimmer!
Bustier:
is more of a modern version of a corset and it is used more often as lingerie. It is very feminine and a must have if you have small busts!
Just to make it complicated, bustiers are often referred to as a bustier dress or a
bustier top.
Of course these are not really a type of lingerie but an upper garment. They have a built in bra, so it can be worn without a bra, leaving your shoulders very visible.
Also it will flatter your torso (but not as tight as a corset will) and leave your bust area wider and fuller looking. It can be very simple and casual and can be worn with your favorite pair of jeans, or it can be very elegant and sophisticated. Either way it is a fashion statement and will reveal a lot about your femininity.
