The key difference between a corset and a bodysuit lies in their design and purpose. A corset is structured, typically worn around the waist, designed to cinch the waistline, shaping the body and creating a sleek silhouette, creating a defined hourglass figure. They also tend to be strapless with tying up the back. You can also choose to wear a corset as outerwear if you’re feeling brave.
On the other hand, a bodysuit is a one-piece garment that covers both the upper body and lower body, like a leotard. Bodysuits come in a range of styles, from simple to elaborate and sexy. They are versatile, often worn as a standalone piece, and can be paired with different bottoms or skirts. Corsets tend to create a silhouette around the waist, compared to bodysuits that are worn like a leotard.
