Fredericks of Hollywood Black Velour Corset Top Black Ladies Size XS

Frederick’s of Hollywood was founded in 1947 by Frederick Mellinger in Hollywood, California. The brand became famous for pushing the boundaries of lingerie design, introducing bold silhouettes, glamorous fabrics, and sensual styling decades before it became mainstream. Frederick’s was among the first companies to popularize pieces like padded bras, corsets, and provocative lingerie in American fashion culture.

Style History

Corsets and bustiers have long been used to sculpt the body, dating back centuries in European fashion. By the late 20th century, corsets transitioned from strictly undergarments to outerwear statements. In the 1980s and 1990s, designers and pop culture icons embraced corset-style tops as fashion pieces—often paired with denim, skirts, or tailored pieces. Frederick’s designs helped influence this shift, blending lingerie aesthetics with bold eveningwear style.
