Corset

[Anonymous No.8055396]

Hola seagulls!

I thought you could find me a solution. I'm not really fat but I have a huge belly and it looks riddiculus when I cosplay and I couldn't find a good corset for it, most of them are good for shaping your butt but I don't have much of a booty, I just want to hide my gut. do you have any magical suggestions except for exercising?

[Anonymous No.8055403]

>corsets good for shaping your butt but not your waistline
OP I'm so confused. Are you sure you're wearing it properly?

[Anonymous No.8055407]

Corsets won't make stomach bulge go away. They just take in the waist. Plus, they'll definitely be visible under clothing. If you want compression , go for Spanx. Also, diet or exercise would be good if your waist measurement is large (I think over 35" is the usual medical cutoff). This is not only for cosmetic reasons but because too much fat concentrated around the midsection is not for the organs.

boned corsets do the job but it's really hard to breathe and move in them. elastic fabric ones do pretty much nothing.

[Anonymous No.8055411]

>>8055407
I've never tried spanx (they're not available in my country) but if it really works I might try, but if it's same as the other elastic fabric fabric crap it would be huge waste.

is it impossible to make it look invisible under the clothes?

[Anonymous No.8055428]

get yourself a girdle. not a cheap one. Rago is a good brand.

>>8055411
A little pouch of fat should be easy to squish and hide but if you have a big Santa belly then that's going to be a lot harder to hide, especially if you don't want to wear a steel-boned corset. I think we'd be able to help you better if you posted a pic but you'd have to be prepared for random anons calling you a fatty.

[Anonymous No.8055627]

I think I will try this. thanks!

Sorry but it is a santa belly, I'm in for a steel boned corset but it will probably show when I wear tight costumes.

If you can't breathe in your corset then it doesn't fit you.
Stop buying ebay crap and go custom cheap ass.

Not necessarily.
Some girls have fucked up looking bodies.
There was a girl in my high school who was shaped like a match stick but had this huge round stomach.
I genuinely believed she was pregnant until I saw her trip one day and jiggled all over the place.
Also this stock image chick.

I'm looking to buy a corset to get a more accentuated silhouette. Not one for everyday use, but more for costuming which would only be worn once in a while. Is there any brands you seagulls recommend?

[Anonymous No.8055693]

>>8055662
Do a google search and see if you have a corset maker nearby, it's really the only way to get something with a decent shape that fits right.

I can breathe but it's hard to stay in it whole day plus it's uncomfortable when sitting or posing in steel boned corsets. Plus I've never went ebay because I thought they would be lame and there aren't any custom corset makers around my city, they only make gothic/emo chick corsets and they're really terrible.

>>8055651
I hope I'm not pregnants, lol. Other guys explained but it can actually happen. I don't exercise and eat lots of fat but it goes straight to my belly.

and it's fucked up. it would be OK if I was fattier all over.

>>8055792
website looks great, but like I said before I haven't seen any of those brands before and I don't want to sepnd that much money on something that would probably not fit me at all.

>>8055856
You might be the second because I'm pretty sure that I'm the laziest one. I can't eat healty, it's pretty hard when you are working at an office where everyone eats fast food pretty much everyday. I'll try to exercise but it will still take lots of time before I look reasonable in a costume and I still need that damn corset :(

anyways, thanks for help.

[Anonymous No.8056323]

OP, corsets will push the flesh around the gut up into the bust area and down around your waist and rear. Since you aren't bottom heavy, it will probably be a great solution for you.
Since it doesn't sound like you need a ton of reduction, an off the rack corset from Orchard corset should be just fine. Their higher end corsets only run about $80, and they are made well and with good quality materials. A corsetier will run you way more than that, so if you aren't rolling in the dough or planning on wearing it every day then it's kind of pointless to spend that much.
Go with a shorter underbust corset. They're much easier to move around and sit in to start with. Less pressure on the hips.

[Anonymous No.8056324]

>>8055976
Yeah, you're definitely not wearing a corset that fits. I have an underbust that reduces my waist by 4" and I've worn it under my scrubs for a full 12 hour shift, including lifting/transferring patients and doing CPR. I wouldn't do that in summer though!

Fit doesn't have to depend on the brand, it depends on your measurements, how curvy you are, how much squish you have and things like torso length etc. There's a corset measurement thing on her website, and there are some corsetieres that will do custom via long distance as long as you measure yourself properly

Golden rules of Coresets:
Do not buy from corset story/us/uk/au or ebay
Do not tie the laces around the corset
You can't waist train with an overbust
If you want a real corset at a good price, buy from orchard corsets

How?

[Anonymous No.8057019]

>>8056930
You can waist train with an overbust - it's just that they're harder to fit than underbusts because of boob and upper ribcage variability, so it is less likely an off the rack, non-custom overbust corset will be suitable for waist training.

[Anonymous No.8058383]

>>8055428

[Anonymous No.8058421]

>>8057019
You can't waist train in an overbust, anon. You have less mobility, and they compress too much of your ribcage to make them safe for prolonged wear, aka waist training. Underbusts and waspies are the way to go.

[Anonymous No.8058425]

>I've always had a small waist

This is what fatties actually believe.

[Anonymous No.8058485]

>>8058421
You can, but it has to fit well i.e. basically always gonna have to be custom made. Ribcage compression is only an issue if the fit is wrong. As for limited mobility, that depends on the corset itself. If it's not super high cut at the back and there's sensible boning, there's not much more restriction on movement than underbust + wearing a bra

[Anonymous No.8058494]

>>8058415
yes they are good

[Anonymous No.8059534]

>>8058421
Yes you can, you just have to stop being a cheap ass and get something custom fitted.
Most of Cathie Jung's corsets are overbust and she has the record for the smallest tight-laced waist on a living person.

[Anonymous No.8059616]

>>8058415
Yes but expensive. Although suited for tight lacing they aren't really that suited for waist training - the strength fabric doubles as the lining and is a coarser twill weave which has some stretch to it, not the herringbone coutil that I've previously seen used. I took my old Laurie apart to insert ribcage gores and I can definitely see why they don't market them as for waist training as they aren't really constructed to stand up to that - it doesn't mean that the construction is poor, it's just not intended for that particular purpose. For example, the seams are just sewn and pressed open with quite a long stitch length as opposed to pressed to one side and the 'waist tape' is just satin ribbon.

I like Corset Story 'cause they're good fun fashion corsets that'll make fancy dresses sit better and/or can be worn to LARP events without worrying that you'll sweat them unwearable.
If you want to do anything more serious than dressing like a fairy princess one weekend every six months then they're certainly not for you.

If it is uncomfortable while you are sitting, then it may be too long for you. You can order custom stuff online if you need to, but if it is a torso issue it can be solved through buying otr that are cut a bit higher on the hip. Do measure the length of your torso to see if you are shorter than average there.

>>8061197
Eh, even then they arent really that good irl. Its the cheap option but also cheap enough that you can tell that someone only went for it because of the price. I dont think I have seen anyone look good in their stuff.

If you mean the waist-cincher waspie kind, no, I haven't... How tall are you, anon? I think it should be about the right length for anyone not as short as me (over 5ft) Forgive the shitty bathroom pic and wonky bows but this is shortly after I first got it and you can see the center comes up jut a bit too high (higher than where the gore of my bra would be) makes you want to yank it down, but I couldn't make it stay because ass. If there was an inch or two of extra torso on me it'd be ok.

Exactly those two inches taller than me lol Should be. The stock images are fucking terribly shopped, so hope my pics are helping you visualize. The difference between the one I posted in the last thread and this one (slightly more conical) also shows how it gets worn in over time. Either way, it's about as cheap a steelboned corset as you're going to get. It's had the hell pulled out of the cords, eyelets and hooks and stood up well. It's not a custom job but meh

[Anonymous No.8071915]

>>8071901
Ok she might just have longer legs than me but I dont have a measuring tape to hand and can only assume someone bigger than me might have a longer torso aswell. Even so, I can just about get away with it for casual wear, costumes etc. Usually have a bolero, saggy blouse or corsage covering the top anyway.

I think I'm pretty proportional, but the 12.5" centre front put me off because my Josephine is more like 11" and plenty long enough. I might try one of the shorter ones, although I'm a bit scared that it'll be too tubular.

[Anonymous No.8071952]

>>8071941
Tbh the shorter one might be a better option if most of the cinching is concentrated around your waist and pulling you floating ribs in rather than all the way up your sides. Unfortunately I'n not sure if there are many photos/reviews of this slightly obscure brand.

So, you have longer legs than me- officially jealous!

[Anonymous No.8071957]

>>8071952
Yeah. I'm tossing up whether I should actually have a go at sewing one vs. just buying another one - I have a bunch of flat steels lying around that I got given as a present, but the prospect of actually making one puts me off and the cost is about the same.

[Anonymous No.8071959]

that corset looks really good on you. you just generally look really good in this photo. so cute!

[Anonymous No.8071966]

>>8071957
Even for a talented seamstress, making a functional corset is serious business, especially if you want one you can tightlace down like that with. Also, the materials needed would have to be a bit more than steels or fabric lying around. That's why they cost so damn much. I've made attempts at bustiers myself...

These corsets are a fraction of the normal price for that kind of quality but as an anon classed as living in 'poverty' I feel you on not wanting to spend. This is the only thing in your bracket, besides novelty corsets/bustiers. Wish you the best with whatever you go for and hope we get to see what it looks like x

[Anonymous No.8071972]

[Anonymous No.8072007]

>>8071966
Yeah, I think I know what I'm getting myself in for and I actually have quite a lot of the stuff I need - the only purchase would be coutil, which someone I know locally is selling for half the usual price because she's having a craft room clearout.(hence why I'm even considering it as an option!) It would be one of those 'projects to go over 6 months or so' as this would be my third attempt at sewing one but first proper attempt with decent materials - my last go was with duck and I didn't like the stretch on it at all. I'd be looking at a short underbust in two layers of coutil with 1/4" flat steel. Hopefully if I do the boning channels right there won't be any twisty curves requiring spirals, no busk - so either front + back lacing or just lacing myself in depending on how much I hate the grommets. Thankfully I have decent two-piece grommets around as well and enough scrap fabric that I could probably manage some sort of shitty mockup, even if said mockup will stretch a lot more than the final I'll hopefully be able to identify any major fitting issues.

>>8072293
Definitely based off it! I love the shape it gives me, but because I can close it, the boning by the laces sometimes presses weirdly on my spinal muscles. I think the strength layer is twill rather than coutil, so it has stretched a bit as well. I basically want the same shape, but with coutil and flats this will be stiffer. I'm also thinking a 2" lacing gap and 2" shorter for ease of bra and trouser wearing. The Josephine has spirals so I'm not going to be able to follow the same boning pattern, what I might do is put it on and see where the bones would have to be to be straight as opposed to guesstimating. I was also considering pre curving/bending the flats because my ribcage hates pressure, but sewcurvy considers that a huge no and I think with 1/4" steels/a short cincher it shouldn't be necessary....hopefully. If I end up attempting this I'll post, but my current new years resolution is to finish up my seeing pile which includes some projects that have been languishing for over a year
