The Corset Meme

[playdate]

The Corset Meme The corset is a foundation garment designed to shape the wearer's body. It could be innerwear or outerwear, but changes the human figure regardless. It enforces posture. It shrinks the waist and gives a more pronounced hourglass shape to the core area. If worn tightly enough, it can inhibit normal breathing. And yet you've worn one anyway. If you are from a historical setting, it could be the fashion of the time. Maybe you wear it because your partner thinks it looks sexy. It could be involuntary, a tool for bondage and restriction. If you've taken to crossdressing for any reason, it can help you attain the illusion of femininity. Perhaps it is linked to an enchantment and won't unlace until some magical requirement has been fulfilled. Or maybe you've put it on only to take it off during a slow burlesque. Wearing something different could spice up even the most mundane settings. Let's explore how different life becomes once we lace up and cinch ourselves in.

[Amelia doesn't ever do this sort of thing. She doesn't generally get out from under her father's thumb unless it's to run wild in the woods and spend her days reading, ignoring her duties of meeting prospective suitors. And let's be honest, the only reason her father wants her married is so he can leech off of his son-in-law to supplement his gambling habits.

Tonight, though, she's managed to sneak out, and make her way to the little cafe that she'd passed by a thousand times before, and to live a little. Which apparently included sharing some drinks with some people that she didn't even know.

That, and a lot of laughing conversation, had led her here - to a private room, and she's nervous, so nervous, but it doesn't stop her from slowly removing her dress. Once she's town to petticoats and corset, she steadies her nerves and looks over her shoulder, her voice soft.]

Do you think you can help me with this?

This would be so much easier if I didn't have such a masculine form. [He's trying to get the top of the corset adjusted so it fits across his chest.] For once in my life, I am actually too manly for my objective.

[What, you thought you'd be in the corset?]

Roman Godfrey | Hemlock Grove | M/M

Do I even want to know?

[Clearly, he's judging Roman, but his lingering gaze says something else entirely.]

[walks in and sees Stiles in a corset]

I'm not even going to ask.

[turns around and walks right back out]

[ she is most likely wearing one for a modeling shoot and she is most likely rocking the look and admiring herself in the mirror lbr ]

Music Meister | Batman: The Brave and the Bold

[hypnotic_patter]

[He's a musical theater fanboy and you think he wouldn't own a corset? It's purple with green ribbon, one of the sorts made for the male form.]

Greece | Axis Powers Nyotalia

[lefteria]

[If there's one thing Greece is grateful for while living under the Ottoman Empire, it's that the kaftans Turkey dressed her in were always fitted for her comfort. Corsets were far too European for both of them at the time. And, as it happens, uncomfortable.

But Greece won't deny that they can be very flattering.]

Relena fussed with the laces, making sure they were good and even so far before wrapping the ends around her hands and bracing her feet against the leg of the bed.

"Now take a deep breath, and hold."

And she yanked.

Oi! Why do I have to wear this bloody thing again?

[This is a little too tight for her tastes, thank you very much.]

Nai | Karneval

[nijiesque]

[Even though it's gotten in to trouble numerous times before, Nai's curiosity never ends... And that's how he wound up a bit tangled in one of Tsukumo's performance corsets. He's managed to (somewhat) discover how it goes on, but he can't quite figure out the laces and eyelets.

So he's currently just kind of sitting here with a hopeless look on his face, too stuck to get it off but too determined to stop trying to figure the weird clothing out.]

eheheheh.

[gogglez]

[ it's not like he's expecting anything special to pop out at him, idly wandering back into his shared room. the niji was dumb enough to keep himself out of too much trouble.

Gareki might have been a little spoiled with that.

not today though.

opening the door, and coming in, the door is slammed just as quickly closed, a choked noise bubbling from his throat, and a red hue brightening his cheeks. ]

N-NAI--

[ i said hey-yey-yey-yeahhhhhh, what's goin' on?? ]

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!?

Jack Frost | Rise of the Guardians

[breaktheice]

[[ooc; He's so not wearing it.]]

[anklets]

[ a wise decision, for Lenalee has undertaken the painful-strange process of becoming laced up and "ladylike" and thereby made the surprising discovery that even her frame has room for a few inches to be taken in at the waist

she feels unnatural and breathcaught, fingers working in the fall of skirt as though it may distract her ]

I- don't understand this.
