Six Functions of Dress: Sexual Enhancement


The corset is one of the most important pieces of clothing which provides sexual enhancement. It makes woman's waist smaller and cleavage bigger. They have been around since the 16th century. The corset was originally called a stay (a stiff corset). Sometimes it was added to the outer bodice; sometimes it was in the form of separate stays worn under a gown. Originally the stiffening was designed to prevent the expensive fabric from wrinkling. However, as corsets evolved, they began to serve a more important function, shaping the woman's figure to the silhouette of the time.
