    Here's one of my corsets. pardon the fact that the sun seems to be dissolving my arm on the left, my webcam is really bad with bright lights and there was a window behind me.

    I thought I had made my way to the wrong website. Corset/waist training sounds like bondage to me! haha

    I love corsets, and am excited that my size is going down. They look great with my body shape.

    To any of you interested in corsets, feel free to ask me questions. I've been doing it for a while, and I know how to get you fitted into an off the rack corset, as well as find one within your price range.

    I have quite a few corsets, but I make my own. I don't know that they've made my waist any smaller though...

    How do you fit for the corsets that are off the rack, what do you wear under it?

    Off the rack corsets are generally fitted to your waist measurement. Standard rule is that you would wear a corset 4 inches smaller than your natural waist (For example, I have a 25 inch waist, and I wear a 20 inch corset because my insides are extra squishy and i only have one kidney). It's best to try on different styles. If your breasts are bigger or smaller than average, you'd be better off getting one that fits underbust. Long line corsets are better for the tall or long waisted. There should be a gap of about 2 inches of leeway when you first close it, so you have somewhere to go when your body adapts. Modesty panels are wonderful if you aren't going to wear much underneath. You can wear everything or nothing under it, depending on the corset and the situation!

    I've always wanted to waist train! I am constantly checking thrift stores hoping that I can find the right corset, but of course I never have luck. The only few places that seem to sell them are the goth stores downtown, and they go for 150+dollars. way out of my price range. :(
    one day I would very much like to try it, though. I have friends who have and they've had great results. :)

    There are a couple online stores that aren't in that price range....not sure on quality, but a couple people here have commented that they are pretty good quality

    I've made, and worn a steel-boned corset.

    I'll take running and strength training over that, thanks.

    if they are less $ than that, they are unlikely to have enough bones in them to do the job.

    Have spent hours of my life lacing up goth girlfriends into corsets haha, gotta love them!

    It is truly amazing to see a girl's body shape actually permanently change after so many months/years of wearing them consistently.

    Real steel boned or it's pointless, waist training has to be done with steel, those little plastic jokes that Victoria's Secret and the like sell don't do a thing

    I hate the plastic ones. Especially when it's that really awful plastic that actually bends when you bend over and sticks in the bent shape. Useless!

    I really want to get into wearing corsets! Are you able to wear them under clothing without it being obvious?

    I have always had a pretty decent collection of simple corsets, nothing impressive yet. I wanted to get to my goal weight before investing in something for more than visual appeal. Now, I'm close and would love something with steel boning, made for me specifically. :)

    Which store for off rack do you use?

    running strength and waist training/corset wearing in general are NOT mutually exclusive.
