Dreamless -> RE: opinion on CORSETS please! (4/24/2013 1:45:14 AM)

For corsets I would definitely recommend shopping in real life and getting it fit to you. Otherwise, if this is impossible, if you're looking for any shaping get no less than steel boned and at least 3 inches less than your waistband... I'd go a bit smaller yet, my corsets are a 38 and my waist is more like 44, and that gives wiggle room for you getting used to the compression. Frankly, a well fit corset provides far better support than a bra and getting an expensive custom fit one is well worth it if you've had back pain. I own three corsets, one of them was definitely not cheap, but it really helps on those days where my boobs are killing my back. That one was made by Felix and Kitty, apparently modeled from a back brace. The other ones came from some corset place I saw advertised on here, actually, somewhere in the advertising things board so a little hunting will probably find it. I can't remember offhand the name. They fit all right, more costume than supportive, but I don't like how the front does up as much.
If you can't find a brick and mortar store, I recommend checking out things like ren faires. I have a local (ish) corset making group that goes and does the kinky cons... and the anime and comic conventions! Also a good place to check out in real life, and maybe not a place you might think by default to check for corsets, but hey, small sellers gotta make it somewhere.
