To corset, or not to corset?

  • funschine, It's hard to say. You'll find a corset will alter your shape quite a lot. It'll bring your waist and tummy in, but change the position and size of other bits :) You might actually find you get quite a lot of squish (depending on where you carry weight). A curvy client of mine described herself corseted as like a tube of toothpaste - squeeze the middle in and the other bits go out :)
    If you're evenly proportioned you might be able to get an off-the-rack. But you might have problems getting one that's a good fit. I'm not sure of shops or corsetmakers in Aberdeen though.
  • Thanks everyone, after much deliberation I decided to go with strapless bra and knickers - I cannot justify the cost of a corset :( I'll just get my dress laced a bit tighter to make sure there's no slippage! :rotfl:
