In older fiction, corsets were sometimes used to provide mild fanservice -- yes, [[FullyDressedNudity everything's covered, but a woman's corset is still part of her underwear]]. Newer works get a similar reaction because corsets today are fetish or specialty wear -- a 21st-century woman in a corset has a certain exotic allure without showing too much skin.

* ''Film/MaryShelleysFrankenstein'' has a sensual wedding night scene between Victor and Elizabeth, where we get several shots of Elizabeth's chest as Victor unlaces her corset in between makeouts.



* ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanTheCurseOfTheBlackPearl'': Elizabeth is made to wear one in an early scene because it was "the latest fashion in London" and she was going to meet a suitor. In the audio commentary Creator/KeiraKnightley says her cleavage was painted on.

** Belle switches from her gold ballgown to a simpler blue dress that also has a corset, and perhaps coincidentally that's when Rumpelstiltskin starts to fall for her.
** Although Red Riding Hood is usually covered by her red cloak, her main outfit actually has a corset too, and her backstory episode deals with her growing sexual attraction for her boyfriend Peter.
** Regina as the Evil Queen favours plenty of corsets as part of her flamboyant CostumePorn. They usually go hand in hand with a NavelDeepNeckline.
** Emma when she travels back in time to the Enchanted Forest has to blend in by donning a corset as part of her new outfit. While she complains about [[OfCorsetHurts "the impression this corset is making on my spleen"]], Hook notably finds her quite attractive in it.
** The Blind Witch has a black corset with a CleavageWindow and is actually quite predatory towards children, lending this an air of FanDisservice.
** The Black Fairy, fittingly as an evil FemmeFatale, has many an outfight with corsets. In fact, her StartOfDarkness episode shows her gaining a corsetted outfit as part of her EvilCostumeSwitch.


Added DiffLines:

* In the ''{{Series/VIP}}'' episode “Vallery’s Secret”, corsets make up most of lingerie designer’s Cleo Robbins’s output, and after she hires Vallery to inspire and model a new line, Vallery spends most of the episode sporting them and luxuriating in their feel. The ending even teases at her choosing to make them part of her regular wardrobe, until her co-workers dissuade her from doing so by reminding her how much she loves her usual, allegedly less serious, aesthetic.
