Metal corset (also known as iron corset) is historical type of corset made mostly or entirely out of metal, usually iron.
Due to large amount of metal used, such corsets were heavy and more uncomfortable that ordinary fabric corsets. They were also padded underneath like armour. The metal corsets also worked as a bulletproof vests, because assassinations by knife in heart were a common risk at the time.
