Corset Connection Corseting InformationAdvice for ordering your first corset. Yes, a custom made corset is *always* going to be more comfortable, and is going to fit your body best, but it is not always practical to start out with a custom made corset. There are many reasons to start with an off-the-rack, or pre-sized corset. 1. Expense. They are typically less expensive. 2. Timing. Custom styles take weeks to months to have made. Many times you will outgrow (lose or gain weight) during the waiting period, and then you are stuck with an expensive garment that does not fit! The second half of the timing issue, is many of the pre-sized corsets can be shipped almost immediately. We have many of our most popular styles in stock usually in white, ivory and black. 3. Shape. Especially if you are considering your first corset, how do you know what shape you will like the best? I must have gone through 5-6 corsets before I figured out the shape and sizing that I prefer. (My favorite is this style, but with the bottom portion rounded: victorian underbust) 4. Size. If you are considering tight-lacing or waist training, then you will probably outgrow your first corset very quickly! This can b a tremendous waste of money! In conclusion, it is not always prudent to order a custom fitted corset to begin with. Most certainly, once you know what size you wear, the shape you prefer, and have a little experience with wearing a corset, THEN a custom fitted corset is appropriate and, in my opinion, necessary. *Especially* if you plan to tight-lace or waist train. Waist training and Tightlacing"Waist-training", or "waist training", is generally known as the process of gradually, over time, reducing the size of ones waistline. This is a process that needs to be done slowly to achieve realistic and safe waist reduction. In order to not harm yourself, or your corset, proper instruction from a waist-training expert is recommended. A corset should never be worn in any manner that causes discomfort or pain. "Tightlacing" or "tight-lacing" is the process of using a corset to achieve extreme waist reduction and modification of the shape of the torso. For tightlacing to be effective a corset must be worn 22-24 hours per day. It must be done with great care to reduce the risk of potential injury or harm to health. The potential for harm has been a source controversy over the ages. Consistent, gradual, moderate pressure is the only safe way to achieve the tiny waist that the tightlacer desires. Dramatic waist reduction, when done properly, can take many months and even years to achieve. A corset must never cause pain or discomfort. Before beginning waist training or tight-lacing program, please consult with a corseting expert and/or your doctor. *Important Disclaimer* Although all of the corsets on our website are manufactured with strength and durability in mind, our corsets are primarily a fashion garment.
