Have you noticed that there can be different kind of corsets, my dear.

Some of them can be laced up on the front.

So you can put your lessons somewhere no one can ever find them... so we would never be as heretic as you. <3

Ps. Amy Lee has also this kind of corset, which is laced on the front...

[withoutexpectations]

>.> I'm sure EA would know if shes doing it wrong...she might just have one that laces in the front, or hell, might even be doing it up backwards just cause she likes it that way.

"Breathing is unimportant" Okay den :D *Buys corsets* *Holds breath* I SURV- *dies* well, we can't all be as perfect and as unbreathing as you emilie<33

[CharacterStudio]

@GoddessSadie Actually, all but one of the corsets I've owned laces up the front, not the back, and it doesn't matter where you tie them. The important part is that the corset stays up and suits your personal style. Maybe you need to spend a little more time in specialty stores looking at corsets, my dear.

I kind of want a front lacing corset...

I need a new corset since I've lost several inches off of my waist (and I'm loosing more.. I am finally dieting and it works :D hahah.) and my corset was too big even when I bought it when my waist was 5 inches larger :[

Oh well, I got ripped off on mine ($120 for a $90 corset ;-;) so I don't expect to pay so much this time... Also, this doesn't have to do with the video really, but if you want a ridiculous shape you tie it in the middle?I was unawareXD

''make sure to tie it tight.

breathing is unimportant''

xD

i like the front kind b cuz i get frustrated in tha bak

[rainbowunicorn12]

Normally, the kind that ties in the front it's a botest. Now do u y'all get it?

[jillybear326]

I love this as a fashion corset, but nothing more. Alright, I say this in the least snobbish way possible. Good, tightlacing corsets should lace in the back and pull in the middle. There are also good ones that lace in the front, but mainly the back. The front laces serve to fine tune the corset. If you notice, EA's corset in this video does not reduce much, but her other corsets that lace in the back give a crazy shape. However EA is a wayward Victorian girl, so I doubt she cares lol.

i love victorian clothes, especially how the breasts are pumped up with corsets !!!!!

[JackAttack6six6]

Now where does one go about finding a front lacing corset?

I've searched all over the interwebs and so far my quest has been unsucessful.

[MrsLazarou]

To those saying corsets should be done up at the back... silly. If you claim to be 'educating' us then you really should get your facts straight, don't you think?

Some can be done at the back, some at the front. This one, as you should be able to see by the shape of the panels, is made for being laced at the front.
