The term 'body-shaping garment' can be summarized as a CORSET, which is a six-letter word. A CORSET is a type of clothing that is designed to shape and slim the body by compressing the waist and other areas of the body. It is usually made from a combination of fabrics such as cotton, silk, or leather, and is often reinforced with steel or whalebone. Corsets have been worn since the 16th century and are still popular today.
