Corset Wedding Dresses vs. Bustier Wedding Dresses

Corset wedding dresses and bustier wedding dresses share many similarities, to the point that they are often considered the same thing. Both provide fitted silhouettes, usually having bodice boning, and either style can feature lace-up ties in the back. So how can you tell the difference between a bustier wedding dress and a corset wedding dress? It all comes down to the purpose of the design.

Corset wedding dresses are all about cinching in the waist to create the traditionally highly sought-after hourglass shape. This might mean that the wedding dress has corset boning that’s curved inward or goes all the way down to the waistline or hips to provide a very structured, snug fit. A lace-up corset wedding dress offers the chance to tighten up the lacing in such a way that emphasizes the smaller waistline.

On the other hand, bustier wedding dresses put the focus on emphasizing a bride’s natural curves or enhancing the bustline. You’ll often find built-in cups or defined, yet flexible boning that curves under the bustline and down the bodice of bustier wedding dresses. Of course, it is possible to find bustier corset wedding dresses that offer the best of both designs: a cinched-in waist and fully supported pushed-up bustline. At Avery Austin, you’ll find many gorgeous gowns that feature one or the other or both!
