Corset Conundrums
Question of the Day:
I have been looking through the lingerie catelogs, and I am at a loss. I’d love to buy one of the corsets I find there, but I have no idea how to size them. The sizes seem to go from the 20′s to the 40′s. Is there a size chart I can find for these?
Angel’s Point of View:
Corsets fall under the heading of fetish clothing, which can all be difficult to size. Corsets can be pretty easy though. What you do is pick up a tape measure. Wrap it around the small of your waist. Take that number and subtract either 2 inches or 4 inches depending on how used to wearing shapewear you are. If you’ve worn a girdle your whole life, you can probably remove three or four inches. If not, go with two.
There is an upside to all this hassle. If you wear them on a regular basis, you can work your way into smaller sizes. It’s a long process called corset training. Corsets are also great for helping your posture, and dropping weight is easy in one since you are pulled so tightly.
Good quality is essential when you pick out a corset. Try getting a premium black leather corset to give you just the look you need without sacrificing quality and wear.
