Is there a difference between a bustier and a corset?

Answer 1

Yes there is.
The primary difference is that a corset is more sturdily constructed than a bustier. Also, due to the lightweight construction, a bustier is designed to conform to the body. A corset, on the other hand, is constructed more stoutly in order to shape the body to the contour of the corset. Typically, bustiers are considered outerwear and corsets are underwear, however, depending on the style of the corset, some can be worn as outerwear either by themselves (overbust) or as accessories (over or under-bust) in addition to a top.

Answer 2

A bustier has underwire in the cups and clips in the back similar to a bra but is longer. A corset cinches, or ties, in the back and is primarily to control the waist area.
