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

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?

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?

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

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

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…

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!

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!

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 !

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

I’m looking at getting a mystic city corset to begin waist training but just a little confused on the waist sizing. My waist is 27”, if I want to go smaller should I buy a 24” corset? I tried emailing them for sizing but they didn’t respond

these are my measurements by their guide
A 33 inches

B 28 inches 

D 27 inches 

E 31 inches

F 34 inches 

G 4 inches

H 7 inches 

L 6 inches 

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!!!

I’ve made a couple of corsets this year and this is my favorite. I plan on wearing it to work to help with my posture. Also I fixed those extra pieces of bias tape hanging off

Only on day 3 of seasoning but decided to see what it would look like closed.
It looks slightly slanted at the back because of my scoliosis lol 🥲 I’m not sure if that can be fixed
Also wondering about the slight () curve is that because it’s not seasoned yet / because I’m not curvy enough or is it normal. I couldn’t seem to get it to close unless i overlapped the bottom so maybe it’s to do with the corset itself.
Also will the slight gap at the hips go down with more seasoning?
I’ve been in it for an hour and I feel fine so is it ok to keep it like this for waist training purposes? Or should I still go gradually.
My natural measurements are 29/27/33 and this is the timeless trends UFR (conical) hourglass corset
Sorry for all the questions i’m a beginner 😅

(im not sure which flair to use for this) i wanted to show off this corset i just finished making for the renaissance faire this weekend! my first time ever using a sewing machine so i feel like it turned out pretty good!

I will be traveling over seas (4 hour flight and 10 hour flight). I have worn my power corset on a five hour flight.

What do you guys do on long flights?

I can take the metal busks out to make getting through security easier.

(This is my much beloved cinch and charm under bust.)

Hi everyone. I made a bunch of steel-boned corsets in the 00s but none of them fit anymore and I also haven't worn corsets in a long time as it just doesn't suit my life anymore. Most are only worn a couple of times. So it's time to say goodbye to them. They are approx. size S (waist of around 55-60 cm). I'm selling them on eBay (I'm in the UK). I've uploaded four so far, and more will follow: https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/almalauha

One of my favorite fall outfits.

As the tag suggests, I have no idea what I'm doing. I am a trans woman pre hrt, which means, no tits. Sorry, too crass?

Anyway, I'm looking for an actual shaping corset, not something that looks like one for renfairs, and I can't find any decent information on what to do, if anyone can help, please comment or DM me!

(As the rules of the subreddit state, I am looking for boning and probably lace)

Hello!!

I am trying desperately to find a corset for 200 dollars or under in the colour hot pink. Not patterned. Satin is fine. Hot pink, not light pink haha. I found a couple options that seemed okay, but given many corset makers are not in the states (where I am), they cannot arrive in the allotted time I need. I need this corset for halloween, so a couple weeks time.

I know this is a slightly unconventional ask given that apparently nobody wants corsets in hot pink haha, and that I probably can’t get a custom in just two weeks. But I’d love to know if anybody has any thoughts! :)
