Here I’m wearing leather corsets. Leather is an excellent material for corsets because it’s robust and stiff. Therefore it’s especially important to have a made-to-measure corset, otherwise you probably won’t be happy with it. Leather, however, does not breathe as well as cotton or satin; therefore it may not be as comfortable to wear in hot weather.

I this is my 18 inch satin corset. It is from TGC. The lower part is not very tight, but the ribcage is compressed considerably. The effect is especially significant with the lower ribs. Therefore I need a longer time (1-2 days) to get used to wearing this corset and feel comfortable in it.

For a broad acceptance of the corset in our time, it’s especially important that ladies can wear usual and everyday clothes with their corsets on. In the following I will present some suggestions how to wear corsets under normal clothes. The series of examples is to be continued.

This corset has been lent to me for evaluation purposes. It was not made directly for me, but fits very well. This indicates that the owner seems to have a similar figure to me. The fabric is very nice and the corset has a strong waistband which defines the waist well and makes the corset sturdy, because the pressure and pull is strongest at the waist.
