Fast forwards to today; there has been a huge resurgence of summer corsetry, and they're as strong as ever with the cosmos of new fibers and artistic engineering. Mesh and net corsets are fabricated with all different types of materials: cross-stitch sail, linen mesh, Aida material, nylon mesh, polyester tulle, horsehair, and lace itself. In this commodity I'll highlight some corsetieres and brands that offering modern mesh corsets.

More of an honorable mention than annihilation else, here is a (farrrrr) throwback to 2012 when I experimented with a single layer of powermesh, enforced by black satin coutil front and back panels, and a diamond waistband.
