The corset craze sweeping Hollywood

First popular in the 16^th century, corsets are back in the headlines and creating plenty of body-defining buzz. Several celebrities have revealed waist training as their preferred way to whittle their waist—for everyday outfits, working out or slimming a post-baby belly.

One A-lister, who is also a mom of two, recently revealed she “wore a double corset day and night for three months” to get her back into pre-pregnancy shape.

Another star who's making waves about her midsection said she's “obsessed” with waist training and has made headlines posting pics of her results online.

These are just a few of the many celebrities who have been reported to rely on some form waist training to keep their hourglass shape.
