What is a corded corset?
Arwen's Frequently Asked QuestionsCording is a finish which was originally designed to be a cheap and flexible alternative to boning. In antique corsets it is often used over the bust, stomach and hip areas. It is unfortunately no longer a cheap finish as it is very labor intensive. It is still used in very much the same way it was, but now in conjunction with steel boning. It is used in areas where you want extra stiffening, but not heavy boning such as the top and bottom bands, bust and hip area.

Related QuestionsHow do I disguise my corset underneath my daytime clothing?
ROMANTASY Frequently asked questionsCorsets are not easily disguisable under clothing because they are normally four layers thick and contain double steel boning around the corset, adding 1" of girth to your waistline.

Thus, some wardrobe accommodation must be made to reduce the risk of the corset showing when worn underneath clothing.
