Conventional corsets can be hot and sweaty during summertime or in warmer climates. The oldest tulle corset I've seen is estimated to be from 1875, so the idea is not new!
Fast forward to today; there has been a huge resurgence of summer corsetry, and they're as strong as ever with the creation of new fibers and creative engineering. Mesh and net corsets are made with all different types of materials: bobbinet, Aida cloth, nylon corsetry mesh, polyester tulle, horsehair, sports jersey, and lace itself.
With the addition of almost 50 (!) new corsets, this is the largest Guided Gallery resource on my site. It was hard work and I'd love if you'd take a look!
