What Wikipedia says

A bustier (UK: BOO-stee-ay, BUST-ee-ay, US: boo-STYAY, BOO-stee-AY, BUST-ee-AY) or bustiere is a form-fitting garment typically worn by women traditionally worn as lingerie. Its primary purpose is to push up the bust by tightening against the upper midriff and forcing the breasts up while gently shaping the waist.
