Question about corset shopping

[thrandrall]

Wondering about a few things...just ordered a few accessories, etc (including breastforms). Obviously until the forms arrive, I don't have an accurate idea about a bust measurement beyond what my chest currently measures (ordered a couple cheap sports bras elsewhere that will hopefully at least stretch enough to allow a solid estimate).

That said, when ordering a corset - most likely below the bust only (http://www.sexyshoes.com/p-2724-9203...orset-top.aspx - love this look, but bust will almost certainly be too large)...do you order a size or two below what your waist size currently is? Ie. http://www.sexyshoes.com/p-2725-9202...t-cincher.aspx ) - if my waist is about 36, would I go ahead and order a 34?

I certainly need to tone my gut anyways...way out of shape and been too busy most of this fall to get some decent work-outs in. And now I have a bit more motivation!

That is what I do and it world for me.

So start about 2 inches smaller than normal and [hopefully] work down from there. Makes sense. I'm still a little iffy on whether I'm measuring my waist at the correct spot (looked at sissyboutique measurements page) - just gotten a bit too much of a spare tire to make my waistline stand out as much as it used to :(

Sharon at Romantasy made all three of my corests, and I would never go back to an "off the rack corset" again! Give them a try, you will nt be sorry!

Thanks for the feedback. I'll probably go for something a little cheaper for starting though.

On a similar note though - thinking also about body stocking/shaping. Recommended to wear (in order) - underwear, shaper, corset, other clothing...? Or is that too much? Just curious.

Oh yea...wouldn't plan on doing this for too long at one time, but is there much risk of circulation issues if you haven't worn really tight clothing before - skin, etc?

Ok, looking for a little more advice here.

I'm looking at this item which looks very nice: http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss/Sa...hing/shapewear - my problem is trying to figure out what size I need.

My waist right now is around a 36, but my hips are only about 41. I'd like to get some tone in my butt and thighs as well (separate piece from a cincher)...like I said above, need to lose weight anyways. Would I be better holding off with something like this till I lose some more around the waist anyways or is there an alternative type of item that might do the trick better (or just custom fit)?

Honestly, your best bet is to spend a little more to get a corset you can use for a long time. Like here - http://www.absolutecorsets.com/ they are very nice also.

Here is one more link if you wish to check it out. This place is loaded with Corset information.
