The corset or bodice be the key element of a lady pirate outfit. It should be the first item ye pick out, then get the blouse n' skirt to match it.
A corset is a garment worn to mold and shape the torso to emphasizes a curvy figure, by reducing the waist and exaggerating the bust and hips. An overbust corset encloses the torso, extending from just under the arms to the hips. An underbust corset begins just under the breasts and extends down to the hips. We also have very unique corset dress for the more elegant look.
A bodice, historically, is an article of clothing for women covering the body from the neck to the waist. Generally bodices were unboned and didn't shape the torso like a corset because they were historically designed to be worn over a corset. We carry arrr boned bodice because it's easier to not wear so many layers, this way ye have the bodice look and the corset shape! Our comfort bodice is more like the period version. The bodice or corset is the most important piece of a wench's outfit. Buy this item first, then get everything else to match it.
Cheap Bodices & Corsets
Cost more than just money. They only last 2 or 3 wearings, so you will have to spend more in the long run. More importantly they will fail you at the worst possible moment like when yar starting a 5 mile parade. Then you arrrr trying to cover yar treasure chest fer the next 4 hours with your hands. You will never look as good in a cheap corset as a well made one. I heard dozens of horror stories about how they caused much embarassment, don't be one of them.
