Tight Laced: Help? →

ivyadrena:
Does anyone have suggestions/tips on buying steel boned corsets? I want something nice/reliable without being too pricey.
Probably a size 36-38, 14.5-15” long as I have a short torso, overbust, sweetheart neckline. Will mostly be worn under clothing, but I’m not getting into…
Thanks for your reply! Price-wise, I’d say somewhere between a cell phone and a car payment,...

Probably a size 36-38, 14.5-15” long as I have a short torso, overbust, sweetheart neckline. Will mostly be worn under clothing, but I’m not getting into waist training. Research says I should generally wear a liner underneath; basic okay, or is there anything...

"Real" Corsets
After seeing a lot of posts about what a “real” corset is on your blog I understand the concept you are trying to get across to people. A corset is something that improves one’s posture and brings one’s waist in which in turn increases the size of how one’s bust looks as well as accents one’s hips for that “hourglass” figure. High quality corsets or...

ghettopurplecupcake asked: I'm very new to reading this blog, and I've noticed that you make it a point that corsets are not what most people think they are, though I haven't seen you define what they are for people who are confused. I've tried to do some research (to little avail) on what a corset is, but I figured if I asked you I could get a much better answer. What makes a corset different from other...

a real one, not a flimsy slutty one.
not that I’m bagging those, they’re sosososo cute and I have 3, that’s not the point.
the past four months or so I’ve taken an interest in waist training and I’ve read up about it too. I already knew a bit about corsets, waist training and such from Textiles…
May I please ask, what makes anything related to corsetry “flimsy and...

There is lots of confusion about what a corset is these days! Things get muddled and confused, so we here at Waisted Lives have decided to make a quick comprehensive guide.
This is not a corset. This is in fact a longline bra. Defining characteristics: It is a bra, made…
Great guide for what is and isn’t a corset. I will doing one myself soon. I wish I could change...

Anonymous asked: There is vastly more to the construction of a corset than just steel bones. That other anon got it right. To quote something I read the other day, "You'll find steel bones in an umbrella, but I wouldn't call it a corset either."
thethingsicomeacross asked: Do you watch Bishonenrancher on Youtube? I love her reviews on corsets.
xalter--ego asked: I'm but a novice seamstress, but a good waist-training corset will be made of layers of coutil or another tight-woven fabric that can withstand years of lacing down without stretching much or tearing, possibly a fashion fabric on the outside, usually a waist-tape to reduce some of the horizontal strain. Fit is another important part- if it's made to fit your body rather than a general...
puddingtastic asked: N'aw you weren't bitchy the least bit, if people really do unfollow you just for such a tiny thing, then I really have nothing to say to that. I think you're a lovely person and I absolutely love your blog :D Please keep on being just as cool and as the other anon, I trust you advice on corsets more than I would anybody else (:
thesimian asked: What makes a corset 'good quality' and 'authentic'? I thought that it was authentic if it was steel boned.
condimentsandsandwiches asked: You could always turn off anonymous if they're giving you a lot of trouble. :)
Anonymous asked: I value your opinions and advice,I would believe you before anyone else on where to buy corsets.
I apologise to everyone if I was ever overly bitchy during this. I only ever try to educate. It annoys me so much when people try to pass fakes off as the real thing. For a lot of people making and selling authentic corset is their way of making money and surviving in this world. They are not easily made and sometimes learning how to make one is a costly experience and can take a lot of time. So...
Anonymous asked: fucking hell this 'wahh it's not a real corset' and bitchiness is annoying. unfollowing now
I've finally run into Tumblr elitists.
lostdaughteroffinland:
Okay. Apparently, the 2nd website I gave you all isn’t doesn’t provide “real corsets”. I guess I’m a noob and everyone else is right, so go spend hundreds of dollars on a “real” corset because I’m wrong and if you buy it online in a S, M, or L, it isn’t a genuine corset. I’m done giving out fashion tips.
Actually I looked at both sites and both are full of things that...

Anonymous asked: Where can I get authentic, legit corsets?
Anonymous asked: Shut the fuck up. Please.
melodeathgoddess asked: You might want to retract your previous post after a little research. As the owner of 3 corsets from Corset Story and 5 from other places, I can assure you that there are, in fact, real corsets with steel boning.
For all my female Goth followers, I found 2 lovely...

This is a Lingerie Public Service Announcement
thelingerieaddict:
Bustiers, waist cinchers, and longline bras are not corsets.
A corset refers to a very specific type of lingerie. It’s not a catch-all term for shapewear.
You may now continue with your regularly scheduled programming.
You guys are amazing, thank you for putting a smile on my face.
snarkitout asked: We totally understand, I hope you have a good trip, and the pregnancy goes well! (IDK how far along you are, I assume it's recent?)
So forgive me. I am just about to head off to the country for a little bit aaaaaand I have just found out that I am pregnant. So apologies in advance if I forget to post every now and then. I am just so tired and feeling ill that posting up pictures of corsets really is the last thing on my mind. But I will try. Hopefully there will be some posted up tomorrow. Enjoy your weekend!
