Brief description
Waist training corset, 'The Works', by 'Ann Chery' for Waist Gang Society, 2015
Gallery label
Creating curves Waist trainers are worn as slimming aids to compress the core. They are a contemporary alternative to tightly laced corsets. Their impact on the body, like that of corsets, is controversial. Butt-lifters enhance the shape and size of the bottom. Unlike the 19th century bustle, which also created the volume in this area, butt-lifters separate and define the buttocks.
