Different brands of corsets will be made differently and/or put their labels in differnt places. Is your corset shaped the same at the top and the bottom? Try turning the corset the other way and see if the fit is better or easier to put on. Even on the Laced brand, it can be worn "upside down" and it gives a different fit. Some women with large breast find that this works better for them as it provides a little more support.

How old do you have to be to start wearing a corset?

I'm thirteen, see, and I want one so badly... they are so beautiful, all of them.

@ElMagAquaVing - Your age really doesn't matter.  I sell corsets to girls as young as 8 and women as old as 94. in the Victorian era girls wore corsets at a very early age. Wearing one now would depend on how your Mom feels about it. Most of my younger customers are involved in Single Action Shooting or Mounted Shooting Competion and their families are supportive. Just be sure not to lace it too tightly!

Thank you. I got it from "Laced". Try laced .biz for the information.

I just bought a bunch of corsets that lace to the top and the ribbon is way too short to try doing the loops in the middle. I need to replace it, what type of ribbon and about whatr length should I use to replace them? Thanks for the video, i was going nuts trying to lace the thing thinking I was too big, but it was the ribbon.

I use 1/2" or 3/4" satin ribbon and use 6-7 feet. On some of the corsets, I lace them with shoestring.

@GoodNightMoon19511 Indeed they are! I'm fourteen now, but it really looks like my laced goal is approaching - I got my mom to somewhat-grudgingly agree that I could buy a corset(own money, of course) - now all I've got to do is find the right occasion to actually make the purchase, as I need her credit card... but hopefully I'll make it. But I'll stop talking about myself - I'm so impressed by you, making your own is so cool! Wish you the best of luck. Hope it turns out okay!

@ElMagAquaVing I'm also 13 and I am making one myself! :) They are beautiful, aren't they?

I got a corset and, though I wear it with the inside tag at the top (under my bosom), the busk has a double closure at the top; that is, two clasp closures that are closer together than the rest which are equally spaced out. Is this right? This is my first corset, but I thought the double closure went on the bottom of the corset (near my hips) and not about my bosom. <3!

sound quality is terrible on this video, way too much echo, I had a tough time understanding her when she spoke.

@Rvindel ebay. but remember, you get what you pay for 99% of the time. a good steel boned corset is usually 60$-200$
