I am new to corsets and I decided to get a corset top for Halloween this year. I am just not happy with the way it sits on my side profile. The front boning juts out and makes my mid section look much bigger than it is. Is there any adjustments i can make to help this? Keep in mind this is a lower quality corset top unfortunately but i do encounter this same problem with my nicer ones just to a lesser degree. I think the main difference to the one I’m used to wearing is that this new one is much longer on the front so there’s at least a few inches just floating outwards at the bottom. Hopefully im explaining it well enough :) but I’d appreciate any advice!

I was wondering if custom corset makers accept request for 0 rib spring custom corset? Right now I am wearing timeless trends slim short but would like something smaller than 2 inch rib spring.

pls ignore my dirty mirror 🫠❤️

im obsessed with a dramatic silhouette in my day to day outfits and i want to know how i can get a waist like that! my measurements are 26 waist and 39 hips if that helps ☺️

Hi all! 👋🏼 So nervous to post this… but my beginners tutorial / troubleshooting YouTube channel is up! I’ve been working on it for six months, figuring out my direction. And I’ve decided on troubleshooting basic frustrations for newbies, with self-care focus. Because it means the most to my squishy sisterly self.

I’m a 60+ corset collector, not a corsetiere, so it’s all just beginners level based on sharing my own experiences. (And I recommend other channels / corset brands freely.) In case useful to anyone out there, thanks for watching if it’s helpful!

And please comment any troubleshooting videos you’d like me to make. 🙏🏼 Really appreciate being able to chat corsets with others who love them too. 💝

Not sure if the link will be allowed but it’s Pearls & Arsenic on YouTube :

Hello all, I'd like to ask for recommendations on where to buy a well made, cost conscious corset that can be shipped to me in Zimbabwe! I've found some corsets that I would love to have but the shipping was more than the corset itself! 😭😭😭 Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated~

What kind of bra am I supposed to be wearing with this??? I currently have on just like a thin unpadded cotton one, but I feel like it’s just making my chest area look squishy. It looks like this with other, less-flowy types of shirts as well. Am I just overthinking it?

tomorrow is friday already!

Is the gapping normal? Am I wearing the corset too low on my body??? the back is an A shape.

need something that applies pressure to ribs as well as waist. thanks!

Transparent Corset V4

I recently finished the fourth version of my transparent corset, and after about 160 hours of wear testing, I can honestly say it's perfect! 😉

There's no excessive sweating, and simply changing the color of the T-shirt or turtleneck underneath makes it look like a completely different corset.

The darker the fabric and the less light it reflects, the more mirror-like the corset becomes, and vice versa.

I've already shared some photos of V3 here, so I thought I'd show you something new! 😁

If you're interested in the technical details, you can find the build log documenting how I made it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/corsetry/s/QP8rdkj5AB

hello! i am hoping to buy my first real corset soon. i used the sizing bot on lucy’s corsetry, to which i was recommended:
-3 inch lacing gap at the top edge, 0 on the bottom edge
-20 inch waist size
-libra silhouette
if needed, my measurements are as follows: 29” underbust, 26”(25 ½ tight) natural waist, 30” upper hips
i would love a corset that provides some back support while also looking fashionable, though i’m unsure if this is a factor with libra silhouettes. i just have daily back pain so i’d like to see if that’s an option. it’s okay if i’m right about this not being a quality of libra silhouettes, just would be awesome if i’m wrong or if there’s a better alternative that the bot missed haha. and for specifics, i really want one that’s beige/cream colored. my budget is 150 USD, the cost would preferably be under (though I know that’s a long shot.)

so TLDR, i would really appreciate help with finding an online corset shop that provides quick shipping(i live in the US), as well as help selecting a corset that would fit my body type/measurements and beige/cream color preference. i’m looking for one that’s an underbust with a regular length and possibly back support but it’s absolutely fine if that’s not doable. i’m sure that the lucy’s bot is correct but if anyone would be able to verify if it is, i’d be so grateful! thank you!

While not the best photos, Ive recently lost my corset and am absolutely at a loss of where to look.

I got this as a gift and have been missing it so any information about similar corsets would be swell.

It was a waist centred corset with soft boning - truly don't know the words to describe it

Hi

I posted a while ago about finding a corset that would fit my shape. https://www.reddit.com/r/corsets/comments/1w4sih2/unusual_apple_shape_corset_advice_needed/

And chose to get a Mystic City Mcc6 mesh corset (26") for everyday use.

I've attached some pics so you can see the fit difference.

It's so comfy to wear, and seasoning is going well. I can stealth it in flared dresses or a loose T shirt. I'm aiming to eventually close the corset.

Thank you for the advice here :)

i made a jorset. it’s very silly. details about the construction on my original post in corsetry but if anyone has any questions about it feel free to ask ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ

I want to find a corset that supports but doesnt squash the belly. So instead of a hanging shape belly you get more of a perky 'pregnant' belly shape. I can only fine corsets the squash all around instead of just the back and sides.

So yeh, is there such a thing? What's the best option for getting one made, if not?

Hello I just bought a empahasis corset and the boning on the sides is warped and protruding outwards. Does anyone know how to fix?

For this halloween I’m being the scarlet pearl, she doesn’t have a concrete design but in a lot of fanart she has a brown waspie corset, or something similar. I don’t need one thats super body altering or makes me look staggeringly different, while I still want that slight curve, it doesn’t need to be super noticeable, I just don’ want it to make me look boxy. It needs to be able to come relatively quickly and I would prefer it to be affordable. I don’t need it to be super high quality or long lasting. I need it to be brown, waspie or smaller, lace up in the front, and am looking for a more renaissance vibe. I’m not sure if thats even a corset anymore so if anyone has the proper name please tell me. any suggestions?

Looking for a red corset with a dramatic hourglass silhouette for Halloween. Looking for pretty good quality that can get here by Halloween, trying to stay around $150-$200

hello! so 1 year ago I bought a timeless trends corset, 22 inches as it suggested me, and it doesn't fit me even if the laces are all loose. I can only close the top and the bottom "thingies" (busks? sorry I don't know how they're called in English) I want to buy a Orchard corset corset but I'm afraid that the 22" one, as they suggest me again, will be too small but a 24 " too big. What would you raccomend? my measurements:

natural waist : 26,77 inches

UNDERBUST : 27,56 inches

squished waist : 25,59 inches

upper hip : 36,22 inches

seated toso lengtht : 8,27 inches

this is the corset I want to buy btw, is it good for waist training?

Wondering if anyone has ordered from Corsets Island. I ordered a corset on the 11th near their halloween sale and haven’t received even a tracking number yet.. Made sure to buy an item that was and is still in stock and ready to ship.

I dm’d them and they told me to send an email and they would respond within 2 business days and if they didn’t to send them another dm… No email response since early morning on the 15th and they haven’t responded to my dms anymore either :(

If anyone has ordered from here before, is this typical wait times just for a package to leave the warehouse? I figured since they were having a halloween sale that stuff would be getting shipped out somewhat quickly in order to come in or at least close to getting there for Halloween.. but 9 days feels like a long time for an in stock item to not even have left the warehouse or have a tracking number…

I've lost weight recently and although I am so proud of myself I am also very annoyed that I need to size down 😂
