Corset/ Waist training
Replies

I have a steel boned corset that I love, but I only have occasion to wear it a couple of times a year. It does take a bit of pre-wear to remind me how to sit/breathe/etc in it!
Last time I wore it was the first time driving in it. I imagine had stick shift trucks been a thing during the Victorian era, corsets would have fallen out of favor much faster.0 -
It's something I always thought I wanted to do but never acted on. Definitely can't now while I'm pregnant, remind me in 8 months0

Never wore one but have made a couple in the past. Have much respect for anyone, male or female, who can wear one and function.0

I don't waist train, but I want more corsets...bought my first ever for a Halloween costume this past October
I wish I had someone tie the back for me ( I did it myself), I think the waist would have looked better, but c'est la vie.

If I could afford it, I would live in corsets XD0

I had a quite a few higher end corsets that fit me well when I was at a higher weight. I ended up giving them to a friend after I reached my goal. I didn't want to give them to goodwill like I did my other bigger clothes as most likely the buyer wouldn't appreciate what they were getting.
I gave them to a friend who loves them dearly, and looks fabulous in them. I'm glad they made it to a good home.
I haven't gotten around to replacing them, but one of these days I plan on it.0 -
I love corsets. I have a 4 th one coming in the mail.
I buy them at corset story.....best price and very good quality.0 -
I'm no help with corset makers but could hook you up with a good foot binder.
A fashion corset is fine, but waist training sounds fetishy. Each to her own I guess.0 -

As you can tell by my ticker, this is relevant to my interests!
ETA: Just changed my profile pic to a better shot of one of my favorite corsets.0 -
I've never done waist training, but I'm big on fashion corsets. In my prime, I had a seller offer me deep discounts on sample sized corsets because I could fit them, looked awesome in them, and couldn't afford to pay off the rack! Nowadays, I don't wear them much outside of theater. I can sing in corsets. They complete the silhouette in Victorian costumes. I've sold off a few of my collection over the years, but I still have several living in the bottom of my costume box. I wore my Stormy Leather Edwardian underbust to an art opening last month. I should have more fun.
This is Ritual Designs. The last corset I purchased, nearly 10 years ago (Edit: I purchased it nearly 10 years ago; the picture is 4ish years ago):

I love corsets though I don't waist train, I only wear them out once in awhile. My final weight loss goal reward to myself will be a custom made corset, possibly Starkers since I'm close to Toronto and can't find anyone local.0

What does one wear under the corset? And do any of you very bright folks know who has good front tying corset?0

it's an idea i've toyed with from time to time...but not sure if I could actually do it.0

I love corsets but don't have any desire to go into 23/7 waist training. I have about 15 corsets although some of them are getting too big now.
My favourites are from Emmeline Couture (my wedding corset) and Heavenly Corsets.
As you can see, I don't really need to train 23/7 to get a great shape.0 -
I love the look of corsets but with my boobs being so huge I'm not sure one would ever fit - and I can't really afford a custom one (most are like $600+) so I'd have to buy a costume-y one somewhere - maybe when I lose the weight. I don't want to waist train, I just want them for fashion.0

Check out www.heavenlycorsets.com. Elle is a sweetie and she's pretty busty. She did my red corset above (I'm a 32FF in that shot, although I was a 34F when it was made).
(That one was £150ish but it was a custom pattern with a lot of tweaks and a fabulous silk brocade.)0 -
This is a subject I didn't expect to see on MFP I do love corsets though.
For the ones unfamilar with the practise: The reduction in measurements following a day of corset wear is temporary. Only by long term wearing a corset one can attain a more permanent redistribution of tissue in the waist and stomach area. "Waist training" is usually considered to be not just the wearing of corsets, but the continuous aim for a smaller and smaller waist. This requires very well fitted corsets to avoid possible problems with pinched nerves etc. That said, also for regular wear a corset should never hurt. Think of it as a very large bra, it should fit just right and not be too large or small :flowerforyou:0 -

I've seen you on the bee before. I loved your dress.0 -
Before my weight gain, I had several corsets. I miss them so badly. I've been looking through the sites that people posted and drooling at all the lovely options. I'm really interested in waist training. I just don't want to invest the money in a good corset while I'm still losing. Also, at my current weight, I don't know how effective it might be.0
