Waist training is a popular topic right now. Is that the same as corseting?
I'd
say that they're related, but not at all the same thing. Waist training is about gradually reducing one's natural waist size through the
consistent wearing of corsets. Corsets can be worn for fun, fashion,
costuming, foundation, and even medical and back support
How did waist training originate?
That
is a rather involved question. The first waist trainers we know
anything at all about were warriors in ancient Crete. (It was apparently
a sign of athletic prowess to have an significantly small waist.)
Throughout history there have been famous waist trainers—often royalty,
or, like today, celebrity "royalty". In the past, having a small waist
meant that you were a lady of leisure, or a gentleman with enough free
time to look after your figure.
Why do you think waist training has become popular again?
There
has been a gradual return to celebrating the feminine form over the
last decade, and several celebrities have contributed to this shift in
"ideal body type". This started with Dita Von Teese, and now Christina
Hendricks, Beyoncé, Kim Kardashian, and Nicki Minaj are also capturing
lots of public attention, not only for their talents, but their figures:
voluptuous and very small waisted.
