About Me

As far as I can remember, I have always been in love with old time fashion. What I first thought was a fondness for Medieval fashion turned out to be more of a love for a huge era of fashion, but mostly for the general shape the corsets give to the feminine body.

Over the years, I have bought dozens of corsets, of varying degrees of quality. From the plastic piece of junk sold in sex-shops to the $200+ metal boned beauty with reinforced boning and heavy duty waist tape. I have slowly discovered how a corset should be built, and what to look for in order to judge quality.

From the moment I heard about waist training, I wanted to try it. But fear made me find all sorts of excuses: what if I get judged at work? What would I wear with it? Will my family judge me?

For years, I hid my corsets deep in my closet and only wore them when I was certain that only close friends and complete strangers could see me.

I decided around spring 2013 that I would no longer hide, that I can love the clothing I love, that a piece of armoured underwear will not make people reject me - and if it does, they aren't people I want in my life anyway.

After reading Sarah Chrisman's Victorian Secrets, I took the decision to go ahead with my desire to waist train.

This is my journey.
