Swiss Waist (aka Swiss Belts) - These were worn over the clothing during the Victorian era and are often incorrectly identified as corsets. The Swiss Waist is similar to waist cinchers in that they're shorter than corsets and have boning, but they don't have visible boning channels and they don't fasten with a busk in front. Instead they either have no front opening, or a lace up front. The back fastens with lacing or buttons. They usually come to a point in the front below the bust and/or a point down at the hips, creating a triangle or diamond-like shape. These are less popular in Steampunk fashion, but you can still spot one every now and then, worn like a wide belt over a dress or a blouse and skirt.
