Definition
A person, especially a man, who makes or sells corsets professionally.
Etymology
From French corsetier, derived from corset + -ier (French occupational suffix). The French term became the standard designation for corset makers in English, particularly in haute couture.
Kelly Says
Corsetiers were essential craftspeople—some became famous designers whose names are still known today, and the trade required intense skill in measuring, boning, and sewing that took years to master.

Ethical Language Guidance
Gender History
Historically male-coded professional term for corset maker/seller, while -ière/-iere variants exist but are less common in English, reflecting gendered division where men were historically documented as manufacturers/merchants and women as wearers.
Inclusive Usage
Use 'corset maker' or 'corset designer' for neutrality; if using 'corsetier,' apply equally regardless of subject gender.
Inclusive Alternatives
["corset maker","corset designer","corset manufacturer"]
Empowerment Note
Women corset makers, particularly in Paris and beyond, made significant design innovations but were historically less documented than male merchants and industrial operators.
