Abstract: The unique design principles and structural features of the traditional corset played an important role in the history of dress, and its original function was to mould the female figure to the ideal physique promoted by society at the time.It has provided valuable experience for modern shaping underwear design in terms of technology and design, and has also had a profound influence on it in terms of aesthetic standards and cultural heritage.Modern shapewear design is a complex process that synthesises historical tradition, modern aesthetics, ergonomics and technological innovation, which pays more attention to health and comfort while inheriting the essence of tradition, reflecting the positive contribution of scientific and technological progress to the quality of human life.This study re-examines the formal and aesthetic characteristics of the corset from a design perspective, and explores its position and role in contemporary shapewear design.By analysing the classic design elements of the corset, the study proposes the forms and methods of its application in modern shapewear design, providing new ideas and directions for modern shapewear design.Through design practice, the balance point between traditional and modern design is identified, and it is argued that shapewear can be designed to be more comfortable, beautiful and healthy based on inheriting traditional aesthetics and combining ergonomics and fashion trends.
