Did you know the word "corset" dates back to 1828? Taken from the Old French word (meaning "body"), corsets have long been used to shape and sculpt the torso for aesthetic appeal. In the 19th century, corsets were a daily essential, laced tightly to achieve the coveted hourglass silhouette.
But the corset didn’t stop in the Victorian era. It evolved.
Today, corsets have become icons of self-expression — powerful, dramatic, and beautiful. No longer confined to hidden undergarments, they now take centre stage in Gothic fashion, Steampunk styling, alt couture, cosplay, and even formalwear.
At OtherWorld Fashion, we've embraced the modern evolution of corsetry, and here are three stunning examples from our latest collection:
Look 1: Steampunk Adventurer Corset and Skirt Set
A beautifully constructed Steampunk Adventurer Dress featuring a black brocade steel-boned corset with brown leather-style belts, grommets, and chains, paired with a ruched brown skirt. A perfect choice for Steampunk events or fantasy cosplay.
Look 2: Pirate Corset Set – Top, Skirt & Corset
Steampunk Pirate Dress three-piece outfit features a fitted studded top, steel-boned corset with brass clasps and chains, and a flowing brown skirt with an asymmetric hem. A dramatic pirate-inspired look with a touch of Steampunk flair.
