used corsets

Corsets, the restrictive, waist-pinching bodices popular a century ago, are making a comeback, as designers like Donna Karan, Proenza Schouler and Marc Jacobs use them in their lines and women like Skluzacek decide they like the look or want a little extra support to hold everything in. While some say this is just a fanciful way to accentuate the curves of an idealized female form, others warn that corsets pose health risks and threaten women's self-esteem.
