Wearing A Corset
Putting On/Taking Off A Corset Tips For Wearing A Corset Caring For A Corset Re-Lacing A Corset You may wish to re-lace your corset with a different color ribbon or cord. Our corsets are laced with 5 - 5 1/2 yards of ribbon for sizes 20 - 22; 6 - 6 1/2 yards of lacing is used for sizes 24 & 26; 7 - 7 1/2 yards is used for sizes 28 & 30; 9 - 12 yards is used for sizes 34 & 38. Longer lacing also makes it easier to hook the busk, particularly if you are just learning how to wear a corset. When you re-lace: 1. Start inside at the top of the corset lining and bring the lacing through the first set of grommets. 2. Make three sets of crossed Xs (if you are long waisted, make 4 sets of Xs). The middle set of grommets will be used to form the loops for pulling and tightening your corset. 3. Continue to make 3 more sets of crossed Xs (if you are long-waisted, make 2 more sets of Xs). You will end up with the lacing going over the last set of grommets and ending beneath the corset at the inside lining. 4. Tie the ends together tightly. ![]() |
