ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Corset

A corset is like a superhero costume for your body! It's like a tight-fitting piece of clothing that goes around your waist and chest area. It's made of strong material like cotton, leather or polyester, and has laces or hooks to tighten it up to fit your body perfectly.

When you wear a corset, it makes your waist smaller and your bust bigger, almost like magic! But it's not really magic, it works by squeezing your body tightly in the right places. Some people call this "waist training" because over time, when you wear it regularly, it can actually change the shape of your body permanently.

Corsets were really popular a long time ago when women wanted to have a certain shape, but nowadays, they're more of a fashion statement or something to wear for a special occasion or costume. They can look really pretty and make you feel like a queen, but they can also feel uncomfortable if they're too tight or you wear them for too long. So, it's important to be careful and make sure you're not hurting yourself when you wear one.
