I'm continuing to season my corset (I had to take a few days off because I've been on the move so much these last few days), and I've gotten down to a 2in reduction. This looks/feels like so much, I cannot imagine what the full 7in would look like.

So seasoning day 2.I think I'm gonna do the 2-2-2 method instead: 2in reduction for 2 hours for 2 weeks. Mostly becuase I don't want to have to take off and store a corset while at work. I got it down to 2 in, but it wasn't comfy, so I loosened back to 1.5in. I can see that the flaring is less already, which is a good sign.

Ok, so today I got my new corset. I'm starting out by seasoning or breaking in my corset. This has 2 purposes: allowing the corset to adjust to the shape of my body, and allowing me to get used to wearing it. So this is a 1in reduction, and I'm gonna do this for 2 hours a day for a few days then do 3 hour, eventually working to 6-8 hours a day. #WaistTraining #Corsets

Dear people who make #corsets

I'm making myself a pair of lacing strips to use when fitting in-progress corsets: the corsets themselves will usually have eyelets every 2 cm, should I also put eyelets at the same distance on the lacing strips for accuracy, or do you usually make them with less eyelets?

boosts welcome, of course
