Corset, the altered version of the 15th century inner garment bodice, which is now an important accessory for fashionistas, has already made its mark in international fashion arena.
The world fashion markets are splashed with custom corsets as inner and outer-wear. These are sold as hot cakes among those who emphasize on having a curvaceous figure.
However, as every coin has two sides, wearing a corset also has few ill consequences.
Doctors warn that problem in breathing and crushing of internal organs could be a side-effect of corset, which requires very tight lacing.
Brian Morton, Vice-President of Australian Medical Association's NSW branch, has identified that wearing tight shaped garments and corsets could result to fluid retention, gastric reflux and deep-vein thrombosis.
