Neck Corsets



Neck corsets aren't pieces I'm very familiar with. I've seen them here or there, but nothing too in-depth. At best, they'd spark a fleeting glimpse of interest, but then I'd shortly forget.

Until now, of course. Slipofagirl recently blogged about knitted neck corsets. Those in and of themselves were interesting. Something originally meant to be restricting or controlled by default, suddenly being shown using soft, knitted material. Obviously over the years, the design and purpose of corsets have changed quite a bit. Now it's not uncommon to see corset-style tops for everyday wear even.

That's getting slightly off topic, though, because what I really wanted you guys to see were the neck corsets that she blogged about a couple months ago. I've never had any desire to wear one because my neck isn't something I tend to want restrained, but these were beautiful. And the way she wrote about them made them even more desirable.

Go read her posts to get a bit of history, some great descriptions, and several variations of both heavily boned corsets and less structural/more aesthetic neck corsets. Here's just a tiny snippet and my favorite picture:
So ladies, if you want him to drive you crazy with gentle kisses and little nips on your neck, try covering it up rather than exposing it. He'll be dying to peel that neck corset off quick enough. Well, eventually he will... He may be a bit distracted by other things first (or several times), but eventually he will want to have it all, including your lace covered neck.

Now, this... this is attractive, even though I'm not usually a fan of lingerie, just for lingerie's sake.

On second thought, this is just one more thing I'd probably trip over when her husband came home early.

That looks...painful, actually.

Painful? The one I posted (and several she posted) are either less boned or they're much shorter. Regardless, when used for aesthetic appeal, don't going to be tightened or restricting at all.....and therefore, couldn't exactly be painful, heh.
