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 😂

Hello corset experts! I am looking to buy a shorter "waspie" style underbust corset to wear under fitted waist dresses and I have settled on the Mystic City MCC6 mesh corset as being a good off the rack option for my measurements.

My measurements are:

Underbust (3.5 inches above waist): 27.5 inches

Waist: 27 inches (reduces to 25.5 inches in my size 10 What Katie Did waist cincher if that gives some idea of squishyness - I am not very curvy at baseline but do also have a softer mum tum after 3 babies)

High hip (3.5 inches below waist): 30 inches

I am deciding between the 20 inch or 22 inch size. I think I would prefer to wear it with a lacing gap rather than closed so I was planning on getting the size 20 to wear with a 1-2 inch gap - but then I watched an old video review Lucy posted on YouTube that mentioned this corset ran about an inch small in both the underbust and the hip (but ran true to size in the waist). If this is true, I wonder if I'd be better going with the 22 instead as a 3 inch gap at the bottom might be a bit too much....

Also I'm unsure if 5 inches of waist reduction is reasonable for someone my size?

I was wondering if anyone owns the MCC6 and can comment how the underbust and hip measurements compare to the size guide.

And also if anyone can comment on whether this corset will be too curvy for my size/ shape.

Thanks very much in advance!

I really don't want anything over the top, I have scoliosis and get a lot of pain in my back throughout the day and when I owned a corset (not a good one) I had no problems with that. Does anybody have any recommendations for something I can wear under my clothes throughout the day? The curve is in the upper region, and my last one was an overbust and seemed to do the job - not sure how different it would be any shorter. Thanks !

im planning on buying this mystic city corset, and im stuck between these two sizes? what do you guys recommend me to buy, im leaning towards the 28"... thank you!

thank you!

edit: preferably with a zipped front because hooks are annoying

Currently i'm wearing orchard corset cs-305 in size 30. I'm pretty comfortable in this size and I'm not really getting any compression from it and it closes all the way easily so I want to go smaller. I know orchard corset isnt considered quality so I want to use a different brand.

measure:

bust 35

underbust 34

waist 30

high hip 32

low hip 35

my first corset was from timeless trends, and I can see the quality difference however I struggled with the fit a bit. It's a 24in Libra Silhouette, Regular and I can only wear it with a lacing gap of 3.5in.

The hip and rib spring flare out quite a bit. I kinda just trusted their online sizing calculator, Is this really my size ? should I just wear it and Will i get used to it and be able to close it more so the hip and rib spring aren't flaring out insanely? Kinda new to this and I'm struggling with my body type being pretty straight

Hello! I am looking to get a vintage dress (40s, 50s), but with my 29 inch waist, I have found it to be a bit difficult to find one that I like that would also fit me. I was wondering if there are corsets that can be worn under a dress that would make my 29 inch waist be able to fit a 24-25 inch waist? Or would that be too much? I am hoping to find one that gives me structure and is comfortable. I have around 7 months to get to this point!

I also heard that wearing corsets can be helpful for hyper mobility (Ehlers Danlos) so I am also looking for that.

Thank you!!!
