Considerations When Choosing Your Corset

Though they're mostly not used for daily wear anymore, corsets are a sought-after foundation garment for everything from shapewear to costuming. Whether it's Halloween or your wedding day, you can find what you need among Walmart's selection of corsets.

• Shapewear Corset: Shapewear corsets are designed to be worn underneath a garment such as a dress or even everyday jeans and a T-shirt. They provide constriction around the waist and abdomen and are sometimes referred to as waist trainers.
• Costume Corset: Costume corsets often come with a matching skirt or dress and are part of a character costume for dress-up occasions such as Halloween.
• Lingerie Corset: Lingerie corsets may have garter belt straps and other features that make them suitable for lingerie wear. These corsets often use more embellishment, such as lace, than shapewear styles.
