Sizing

Tight Lacing Fully Steel Boned Corsets

All Fully Steel Boned (Tight Lacing) corsets are sized by waist size. Corsets should be ordered 2-6 inches below your natural waist measurement, depending on the desired effect. A good rule of thumb would be to order a corset 4 inches smaller than your current natural waist size.

For example: A person whose natural waist size is 26 inches should order a corset of size 22 inches, and could wear the garment semi closed at the back giving a 2 inch reduction, or fully closed giving a 4 inch reduction. All corsets should be comfortable to wear.

Do not lace your corset too tightly during the first few weeks of wear – your new garment should be ‘broken in’, whereby the fabric is allowed to take the strain evenly and the corset adjusts to your body shape – and your body similarly adjusts to the compression.
