I'd be happy if she would understand that setting a beer down does not mean I am done. She keeps pouring them down the drain.

I would love to do old fashioned corset training... I would be willing to put up with the pain for the gain. But then again I am a masochist...

The entire process is supposed to be uncomfortable... otherwise just buy a "looks-like-but-isn't" a corset... will save you a bundle

500 is a bit much when you can do a LITTLE shopping around and find one cheaper. Yes, the real deal. I cant remember her name, but I spoke with a poster once that made a corset and was willing to sell it to me for like 150, i think.

The regular, non-custom corsets will not ever be very comfortable for very long, this is true. But a custom-built corset should be comfortable. If it isn't, it was fitted improperly. With a budget of $500, a custom corset for that price DAMN well better be comfortable, or you got seriously ripped off!


If you want to play with corsets and don't intend to do serious long-term tight-lacing, don't bother spending more than $50-100 on one. You can get one with custom fabric for that much that will be more than good enough to play with and wear every once in a while. You don't need to spend more than that on a play corset.



Corsets are neat, I adore them, but they aren't toys. I don't intend to discourage you from getting a corset. Obviously, I love them and I've spent a lot of money, time and effort on wearing them, so I think they are great! But there is a lot more to wearing a corset every day than just wearing the corset every day. :)

If you are anywhere near San Francisco, Romantasy Corsets are awesome and will do in-person fittings as well as offer direct, personal, individual-specific advice and help in building good corsets for you. They are smart, know what they are doing, and know how to make it work for just about anyone. Following their advice gives a pretty good certainty of avoiding the problems associated with corsets, both the serious health problems and the discomfort and pain problems. http://www.romantasy.com/ They will offer some advice over email, and their website has a lot of good advice in it as well. Another good website to read: http://www.staylace.com/

As for wearing a t-shirt UNDER your corset...whatever for? Yes, wear an "under corset" item of clothing for many reasons,  but have it cut to show off the twins!

I really don't want to post my photos here, but I'm happy to send them to you if you message me on the other side.

Wearing corsets can be fun and it's not nearly as horrible as some folks would have you think! One added benefit is that you don't feel like eating a bunch of food whilst nicely laced! I've lost at least 40 pounds from it.

She sold a majority of her stuff for that price. Her name escapes me, but if I can shake out of the medicated fog, and try to remember, I will. And yes. It was built from the floor up. By hand. Custom made. Store grade stuff.

Yes, I have this and it is so comfortable...

That's not a corset, it's gift wrap.

And yes, a custom corset made to your measurements can be very comfortable.

And have them be comfortable to siting and drive in and hang out in? I was thinking It'd sure be interesting to wear my corset as an every day item, running out and about town, but even not laced up very tight, it's still to rigid, what with the steel boning, to sit comfortably in, and I know I am a big baby about comfort, but if it's not comfortable I'm not wearing it. And also, do any of you know any one in Sacramento who'll do a custom made Hello Kitty corset in a plus size for something reasonable, say along the line of 500$$? And of course naturally I assume there's no need for a bra? And yes I am aware that when wearing it regularly or for a long period of time you may want a light cotton shirt on under it, I'd do that anyway since I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing it as everyday wear with out a shirt on under.
And no, I'm not doing waist training, I am just bored with the everyday and want something a bit more exotic, and hell I payed 500 dollars for it I want to get to wear it more t han a next to never, before I out grow it.

Oh and while wearing an under shirt, how in the world do you reach in and lift the breasts up like they should be, before the final cinching? Normally with no top on, you'd just reach down the top of your corset, handle the boobs till they're the way you want or need them, and finish up. But you can't just go sticking your hand an arm down the neck of a shirt, inside a corset.

So dispel all your imagined beliefs on that aspect!  Do so now!  Don't expect the benefits of a corset without the pain of a corset.  If you just like the way they look, just spend a couple bucks on a bustier, don't waste money on buying a real one!
