A well-made corset
will be sold with an insert, generally
made of the same material as the garment
itself, which will fit under the lacing,
to prevent binding of the skin as the
laces are pulled closed.
So far as choice of materials for a
corset, one will find that various types
fulfill various requirements. For
instance, a leather corset will mold
easily to the body and breathe, while a
latex or hard rubber garment will induce
perspiration, which, for some, provides
an excellent way to spur on weight loss.
However, the average person will find a
cotton or coutil garment (perhaps with an
overlay of brocade or silk to add spice
and sexiness) to be quite satisfactory.
The most ideal material, in terms of
"breathing" to minimize
perspiration, is 100% cotton, with no
other backing. One should just keep in
mind that most garments, regardless of
material, require a
"breaking-in" period of several wearings.Most
corsets come with cotton lacings. I
recommend they be replaced with the
stronger (and less bulky) nylon version.
A well-constructed
garment, notably one made for training,
will have double-stays (the sprung-metal
rods sewn into the corset vertically at
regular intervals all round). In
addition, a strong cloth
"tape," usually sewn into the
interior, should circle the corset
horizontally from the lacingstay to the
frontbusk (a busk being a much wider stay
which anchors the front hook-and-eye
closure). This feature strengthens the
corset and aids in the prevention of tearing.
Those who value posture
training while preparing for a small
waist might also consider optional
shoulder-straps. These will hold the
shoulders back and, thus, the head erect.
Of course, a matching laced
"neck-corset" achieves the same
end with more aesthetic quality.
The effect of a tightly
laced corset is enhanced by the wearing
of high-heeled shoes, even while
training. These tend to thrust the body
forward, providing a visually pleasing
balance to the your picture of loveliness.
A tiny waist is a
wonder to behold--exotic artistry of the
female form; the end-result of such
diligent training is highly satisfying.
But the pride of knowing that one is
capable of the self-discipline to
accomplish such a feat is reward unto itself!
