I just ordered a corset, and after viewing your video on ebay corsets, I am not a little worried. I know that corsets are expensive but i dont have alot of money to spend on them. I have been researching this for weeks before I bought it. I bought it from the ebay seller: europastyle0092 . IS this a good and authentic corset and seller? Thanks

@laniecehoward Europastyle is kind of on the middle-lower quality of corsets as reflected by the price. They are definitely more sturdy than the Chinese-style "corsets" like the one showed in my ebay video, but they shouldn't be used for tightlacing as the bones and grommets and pull out of the fabric. Those corsets should just be used for fashion purposes and cinch no more than about 2 inches. I tried a leather corset by the same manufacturer and wasn't really impressed with the shape.

@bishonenrancher: Thanks for responding! Well, if you had to go with an inexpensive corset and you had to choose from ebay, what would you buy and from what seller? Thanks Also, I have a 48 inch waist and not alof of sellers are making that size unless I get it custom made.

@laniecehoward If your natural waist is 48" then I'd recommend getting about a 42" corset to start. I believe Meschantes has training corsets in standard sizes sold on Ebay, but they usually charge a little more for larger sizes so you're looking at about $180. Apart from that there's only one other place I know that sells 42" standard corsets and that's Ms Martha's Corset Shoppe outside of ebay. She never charges more for the larger sizes Her 4XL corsets have a 42" waist and they're $150.

How long have you been wearing corsets & What difference have you seen?

[bishonenrancher]

@aishwarya73 I've been wearing corsets about 2 years. I've seen an improvement in my posture as well as about 1 inch lost in my natural waist. :)

@tralalalala666 About 2 years, off and on. I tried my first corset about 10 years ago, though. :)

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WEARING CORSETS?????

@stawberryjamful At 5ft1" the longline might be a little long for you, I would get the waspie. It's a little more versatile in terms of fashion, too. :)
