Whether you stay thirsting over Anthony or Instagram stalking the Sharma sisters IRL, I can almost guarantee that season 2 of Bridgerton is still on your mind. Personally, I’m still thinking about the fashion — those fitted corset dresses, to be specific. Between the pretty pastel hues, luxurious fabrics, and their tendency to create that pushed-up Bridgerton Boob look, those waist-snatching gowns will make any wearer feel like the Diamond of the Season.

Corsetry has quite a stuffy (and dangerous) history, but the look doesn't need to feel overly formal. You can certainly rock a long gown with a bustier detail for a fancy evening out, but something a little shorter and more playful works just as well for date night or boozy brunch. Opting for Bridgerton-inspired details (read: bright colors, visible boning, and pops of floral à la Penny Featherington) is key when selecting a corset dress to show off in TikTok hauls, Instagram ‘fit checks, etc.

Fortunately, you don't have to head to Modiste to find a fit that stuns — I've already rounded up the very best options for you. Whether you're seeking an actual, lace-up corset style or just the illusion of that bustier silhouette, there's a look on this list you'll love.

This ruched stunner may not look supportive, but there are hidden cups and underwire hidden inside, for that pushed-up bustier look — just with a touch more subtlety.

To prevent a Bridgerton-inspired dress from feeling outdated, a short hemline is a requirement. Exhibit A? This For Love & Lemons number.

Tie-dye sweatsuits may be dead and gone (RIP, miss you), but a funky indigo print on a luxe midi dress feels current as can be.
