Corset

Corsets were a very common lingerie form of undergarment in the Realms, worn by either sex (including portly merchants) to constrict their waistline and enhance their appearance.

Description
These garments were typically made of laced-up boiled hide. Some were known to have hidden pockets for carrying coins or a tiny knife. Whalebone and steel were used in creation of reinforced corsets, notable, the corsets popular among fashionable and pampered noble women of the Blade Kingdoms.
