Different corset companies measure slightly differently. Custom corsets are done based on your measurements, so your mileage may vary. It also depends on the type of corset you are looking for.

Remember, when you first start wearing the corset, put it on, and lace loosely. Wear it this way for 20-40 minutes before further lacing. It needs to warm up before any tight lacing or you will break it down fast.

Here is an excellent article on waist training and corsets.

There is absolutely no better feeling in the world than a tightly laced corset. A close second is the relief of being naked after wearing it all day. I love my corsets laced tightly and often find that after an hour or two of wearing it, I need to tighten the laces.

Yes, you can get a great fitting corset online. but only if you measure properly. You will almost certainly need someone to do this for you. If you have no one, then measure several times. I cannot stress how important this is for a good fit.

A very important point. I was assuming some feminization, but then I am wired that way.

As for groveling at your feet Ms. Chatte, just whisper "come here" and I'd be booking a flight to where-ever you are in a heartbeat. *fluttering eyelashes*
