    Is there any good place or brand to buy a beginner corset online? I am not ready for the fully custom ones anyway, so I could theoretically get one for $100, right?

    if you have a fairly "normal" figure, Timeless Trends isn't bad. It's the only off-the-rack store I've tried, and even though I'm a little wide at the hips and waist compared to at the ribs, mine fits pretty darned good. It's very comfortable, and has managed to withstand a LOT of wear.

    No thanks. I cant even make it through an entire evening in spanx without running to the can to remove it so I can breathe...

    In my (limited) experience, corsets are much more comfortable than elastic based systems!

    I love corsets. I don't wear all the time, but I wear them when dressing up, and my corsets cinch about 3-5 inches.

    The first 3 pics just looks like the lady is wearing proper underwear...

    ...that last picture just doesn't look right.....looks...weird.
    Also the first 3 pictures are from the 30's and do not depict a corset. The 3rd picture is obviously edited.

    I love an hourglass figure, but that looks cartoonish and awful. If I thought any part of that was her natural body, I would never criticize. But I can't imagine hating myself enough to do that to myself on purpose.

    I call photoshop. There isn't nearly enough boning in that bodice to draw her in that much.

    i agree. that's not a waist training corset.
    though I suppose if she were one of those women who wears a training corset 18 hours a day and one her "day off" put on costume corset for show, that could be her actual waist, but most likely it's shopped.
