The corset is a particularly interesting garment, as it has symbolism and power over and above the merely utilitarian aspect of modifying the bodies contour. Its wearers continue a powerful history of female expression that spans centuries.
Corsets have existed for centuries and can be traced back to Greek and Minoan times. A traditional corset is a close-fitting piece of clothing that has been stiffened by various means in order to shape a woman's torso to conform to the fashionable silhouette of the time.

Like the famous Botticelli painting of the Birth of Venus, our Venus Traps Corsets by Sara Romoli are a true work of art.
Historians believe that the scene depicted in Botticelli’s “Birth of Venus” was inspired by the text in an Homeric hymn published in Florence in 1488 by the Greek refugee Demetrios Chalcondyles:
Of august gold-wreathed and beautiful
Aphrodite I shall sing to whose domain
belong the battlements of all sea-loved
Cyprus where, blown by the moist breath
of Zephyros, she was carried over the
waves of the resounding sea on soft foam.
The gold-filleted Horae happily welcomed
her and clothed her with heavenly raiment.
This is the concept behind the new line of Venus Traps Corsets by Sara Romoli. Like the heavenly raiment that covered Venus, our corsets will wrap your body in style and sophistication and make you feel like a goddess!
