Bustier
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A bustier is an article of clothing for women, which is form-fitting and is traditionally worn as lingerie. Some people wear it as an outer garment.
It looks somewhat like a basque, but a bustier is shorter (it reaches down only to the ribs or the waist) and has a different function: its primary purpose is to push up the bust (although it shapes the waist gently at the same time. These days, it's often made with mesh panels rather than boning. [1]
Bustiers often have detachable garter straps for holding up stockings.
