Corset Tips For Beginners

Are you new to corsets and don't know where to start? Here are some great corset tips for beginners. I'll keep it simple and not too long and boring, you're reading this article because you want the tips, so here they are. But first let me remind you how to measure for a steel boned corset. You'll need to grab a tape measure and measure around your waist where it dips in at the side and the big tip of the day, do NOT breathe in, that is important. Then measure around your bust with no bra on. All these measurements will need to be in inches. So, if your waist measured in at 34″, you'd need to order a 30″ steel boned corset. Now then, if it's an under bust style you're after, your bust measurement won't matter, but if you're after an over bust style corset, then you'll need to have at least a 6-7 inch difference between your natural waist measurement and bust measurement in order to be able to fill the corset.

OK, so here are the main tips a novice corset wearer should consider when buying their first steel boned corset:

- Buy an under bust corset to begin with to get used to how a steel boned corset feels on your body.

- Check the length of the corset you are buying is suitable for you, they all measure up differently and your torso length is important.

- Once your corset arrives, wear it in. Wear it fairly loosely at first around the house, for an hour or so at a time until your corset and body merge and the corset shapes to your body.

- Wear a skirt with either hold ups or stockings with your corset, it makes going to the toilet much easier!

- Practice going to the toilet when you get your corset, it can be a bit tricky at first.

- And lastly, don't cheap out when buying your corset. You basically pay for what you get. If you order one of the cheap plastic boned corsets for £15 and expect it to work magic and create an hourglass figure, then you will be sorely disappointed. If you want a good steel boned corset then be prepared to pay from £50 minimum for a corset, that is a cheap price for a good steel boned corset too.

Now for the fun bit, browsing and choosing your first ever corset. There are so many pretty ones to choose from, but take your time and find your perfect corset.
