NOOOOOO!!! tying it in the front is SO bad for the life of the corset.. its not all that hard to tie behind the back.. once you do it a few times it becomes easy. i have to wear corsets frequently for back pain relief (they are prettier than medical braces). tying it in the front not only produces corset wrecking friction, but it also causes the front of your outfit to have an odd bump in the middle where the bow is. anyway tying it in the front will reduce the life of the corset, dont do it!

@squiggyflop Thanks for your comment! If you wear a corset for everyday modern wear, you may want to do things differently. We have documentation of women tying their corsets in both the front & the back in different periods of history, & for different types of corsets.

In fact, for eras where the fronts of dresses were smooth & the knot would create a bump, corsets came with hooks on the bottom right front of the corset, so a lady could hook the tied laces under the hook & out of the way.
