Left to right: Peaches and Cream Mini Dress, No Occasion Needed Dress, Living in Luxury Dress
Once upon a time, the strapless dress was flimsy, structureless, and apt to fall down. Then, along came something called boning, which gave the dress form, and girls all over the world rejoiced! The end.
Okay, so that’s not quite how the story goes. Boning, originally used in corsetry, is a fossil compared to the modern strapless dress, and was originally made of — you guessed it — bone. Nowadays, boning is a bit more vegan-friendly; it’s the structure-enhancing flexible plastic strips that you’ll feel sewn inside the bodice of many a well-fitted garment, from the strapless dress, to the bustier-style top and more. So, next time you wear an item with this elegant endoskeleton, you can feel grateful to the very marrow of your being for this upstanding detail!

that peaches and cream dress is absolutely gorgeous.
and boning is definitely the way to go if you’re trying to slim your middle! quick and easy and painless.
Perfect for a summer wedding! Love these.
Those are all so cute, but the debate on which is my favorite is between peaches and cream and living in luxury.

How interesting! I’m wearing a “boned” dress right now! And i had made a comment how much i loved how the boning slimmed my midsection and gave my bosom extra support
love the first two dresses!
Boning is greating for all figures, I’m really petite and most strapless would NOT stay up without it.
‘Boning’ wasn’t exactly bone – it was made from baleen, the toothy filters many whales have to collect minuscule krill out of mouthfuls of seawater. The fashion industry also highly valued ‘spermaceti’ — the oily substance found in the head of sperm whales — for use in cosmetics and perfumes. Who knew whales could have such impacts on fashion?
