Corsets were a staple of women's fashion from the late 16th century until the early 20th century. They were worn to achieve an idealized body shape, which changed over time, from the rigid cone shape in the Elizabethan era to the hourglass figure in the Victorian era. In the early 20th century, women wore corsets to achieve a S-bend silhouette, which emphasized a tiny waist and curved hips. However, the corset was also known for causing health problems such as restricted breathing and organ damage, leading to its eventual decline in popularity.
