As far as I can remember, I have always loved historical clothing. I have been in love with corsets since before I started wearing them. And I have loved them even more since I discovered metal boned corsets.
I broke my junky plastic ones within days. They would fit wrong and end up bulging strangely as my body would move the corset. I didn't know any better.
I then discovered metal boning years later, having done research, but never finding anything in my budget. I found some pretty and cheap ones, gorgeous fabric and very good looking. But they would break easily, weak fabric would tear from the strain, or the boning would cut through the edges from being badly finished.
Finally, I discovered high quality off the rack corsets, mostly purchased for me by my boyfriend. He has way more patience than me when it comes to crawling the web in search of the best quality/price deal.
After a few mishaps (measure 5 times, order once) I now own 3 beautiful pieces. An overbust green and black striped brocade, very curvy and dramatic.
An underbust pink and white striped brocade, very straight and medieval in shape, but not in look.
And my latest and favorite; an underbust black leather, curvy, well seasoned and insanely comfortable, sized perfectly to not impair movement. The only downside is I love it so much I am afraid to damage it.
I have decided to wear my corset as often as I can, attempting waist training and shape modifying.
My starting waist is of 38 inches. My goal is not to get a tiny waist, just a beautiful body. I judge a waist smaller than 25 inches would be too much; but only time will tell.
