Sizing Your First Corset
The corset has always been a quest to achieve feminine perfection of form. As near as modern knowledge can tell
######y lingerie, the corset originated in Crete during the times of Ancient Greece. This predates the birth of Christ by 1000 to 2000 years. Women and young girls from Ancient Greece were also bound in leather or wool corsets to slim the body. Ancient Greeks were very interested in perfection of the human form. Their many statues were an attempt to achieve this visual perfection.
In Medieval times, women also wore corsets, though they were mainly reserved for the limited upper class. At this time they were called stays, and they were designed to flatten a woman's torso rather then accentuate her curves. The heavy religious atmosphere spoke out against physical desires, so corsets acted to lessen the male desire for a woman by lessening her physical appeal.
In the Victorian Period, some several hundred years later, corsets flourished in main stream culture as the epitome of female beauty. Anyone who was anyone was wearing a corset to look their best any day of the week. Often times even men were wearing corsets to encourage proper posture. In the recent past, we've seen corsets reappearing in our world from the depths of fetish obscurity.
The corset has a rich and very long history. People all over the world have been using the corset to achieve feminine perfection of form. With luck, this century old tradition will continue with your help.
Many companies are selling corsets and bustiers online, and more people are getting confused about what size they should be ordering. It gets even worse when you order your corset and it doesn't fit - the site doesn't accept returns on these items in most cases. Many times, going in to get sized in person isn't an option. I've had the wonderful opportunity to work in store helping people just like you find the right fit. It's easy to go into a specialty shop and try on corsets, but I know that isn't always possible.
For those of you who don't have that option
######y lingerie, I'm here to help you make the right decision so you can buy a corset that will fit you properly the first time around. I've been wearing and making my own corsets for 5 years now. So, have no fear, I know my stuff.
There are many questions people ask when first considering purchasing a corset. These are the most common:
How do I measure my size?
How do I know if it will fit?
I am here to answer those questions for you. I will provide an easy step by step method for you to know for certain if you'll be buying a corset that will fit. The simple fact of the matter is that if you have the right measurements your corset will fit.
You will need:
- Sewer's Measuring Tape
- String or Yarn
- Paper and Pen
Step 1 - Don't lie to yourself. You have your own size, and there's nothing wrong with that. My caution is to see yourself, and your measurements, exactly as they are. Don't change anything. A corset that is too small can hurt when worn too tight, and a corset that is too big won't shape your body properly.
Step 2 - I'd like you to find your pen and paper. Make a list on your paper: bust, bra line, waist, lower waist, hips. If it will help you to visualize these areas feel free to draw a female torso beside your list. Total anatomical correctness isn't a must here.
Step 3 - Find or purchase a sewer's measuring tape and your string or yarn. A carpenter's measuring tape will give you more problems, and I wouldn't recommend them. Wrap the string around your waist and hold it loosely between your fingers. Now I'd like you to move around a bit. Bend from side to side until the string settles at your waist. Once it has, measure the string out. This will be your waist measurement. Jot it down on your list.
Step 4 - Often times it's easier to have a friend or relative measure for you. Have your measuring tape ready, and we're going to measure your bust line. The bust is the length around and over your breasts. Start at the front, and try not to let the measuring tape sag down. We want this to be as level as possible. When you're done, jot down your measurement beside bust.
Step 5 - Using your measuring tape, we're going to measure the area right beneath your breasts - the bra line. Again, take care to not let the tape slide down your back. When you're done, jot the measurement down.
Step 6 - The lower waist measure is more for larger women. If you're smaller set, you may skip this step. Do you remember about where your waist was? We want to measure about two inches below that, but we don't want to omit our bellies. I know it can be tempting, but if you're getting custom work done online, this measure can be very important. Jot down the number when you're done.
Step 7 - This is our last measurement. Find where your hip bones are, and just measure all the way around. Then just write down the number.
Step 8 - Guess what? You're all done. This is normally all you'll need to find a nice fitting corset.
Most sites will size their corsets primarily by waist. The mark of a decent site is one that will tell you the bust, waist, and hip measurements. As I've said before, you'll need all the measurements for custom work. Once you've found a site with a corset you like
corset bustier, all you need to do is check the sizes. Every site should have a size chart of some sort.
Generally speaking, your corset size will be 2 inches less then your waist measurement. If you're a larger woman, like myself, 4 inches less then your waist size should still make for a nice fit. Ideally, when you've laced up your corset, there should be 1-4 inches of your back still exposed.
I have a few more suggestions for you before we part company. First
######y lingerie, shorter women, I would suggest staying away from the longer corsets out there. They tend to make us look even shorter. Taller women, you'd likely want to be looking into buying the longer corsets. For larger women, like myself, a longer corset is a must for covering our bellies. Shorter corsets can result in random bulging where we don't want it.
The worst thing you can do while tightening a corset is jerking forcefully. Do not let anyone helping you treat your corset in this manner. It will severely stress the seams, and it could also cause you harm. I know you may have watched some movies with people yanking on the laces and women bracing themselves against any manner of object. This isn't the way to lace a corset. Trust me, if you want your corset to last, treat it and your body, with some respect. Above all, enjoy your corset. It's a worth while investment.
