Corsets... - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

la petite moi · 11-14-2003, 10:55 AM

So, I'm thinking that when I get older and start working, I would like to start waist-training. For those who don't know, this basically means wearing a corset everyday, trying to get your waist into that perfect hourglass corset look.

Now, the question is: Does anyone know where I could get corsets that are good for waist-training? Preferably somewhere not too expensive and somewhere that can ship, since I'm sure I can not travel all over the country.

Thanks in advance for any help.

You could learn to make your own; you can get whalebone from most fabric suppliers, and it shouldn't be too hard to find a pattern.

Here are some good sites:

absolutecorsets.com
orchard corsets
nightshade corsets and clothing

there are a bunch of others. I posted something on this a while ago and got a lot of good suggestions (I got mine from absolutecorsets) - do a thread search for "corsets" and you should find it.

eh, I don't mean to be neg, but seriously, what about your innards and having everything in the right place in full working order??? In my opinion, doing this is just far too unhealthy. Again though, that's just my opinion - it's YOUR body

Yeah, that's very true. However, I think its a very beautiful, attractive thing...I dunno...I'm not even sure I'll be able to do it as I get older.

How small exactly do you want to make your waist. I dunno but it looks sorta uncomfortable to me, and it can be dangerous.

I wouldn't go too overboard with it. The hourglass figure is attractive, but some women get so addicted to it that they end up looking like they were squeezed too hard and it is sort of sickening. I also think that you need to be extra careful not to go overboard and damage your organs, as was mentioned before. Just do it in moderation.
