While I was M.I.A, I stumbled upon a this website: http://corsetgirl.blogspot.com/
Now, usually, I am unimpressed by corsets, since I owned a few, but I was impress by the shrinkage this girl (and I am assuming many others) had gone through.
Maybe it was the cute underbust corset or the fact that one of my cousins thought I was pregnant ( God, am I really that much of a whale?) but I started researching and reading up on it.
Crazy enough, once you start knowing what a corset is and what it looks like under and over clothes, you can pretty much spot anyone with a corset!
It's odd, but before I read up on corsets, I though this could have been Beyoncé's body!
Yes, I was quite naive!
Plus, she was not the only one lacing up the get a curvaceous body!
Check out Stay Lace's Gallery!
So, obviously after seeing hot chick after hot chick with the sexy hourglass figure, I wanted NEEDED to get my hands on a corset.
I remember purchasing a pink one at winners, so I found it and tried it on...
It looked awful... I realised after some research that plastic boning was not the way to go... It had to be steel.
To my dismay, I realised that I would have to get it fitted, but I was unable to find a corsetière in Ottawa, and well, I was unwilling to spend 250$ as well!
So, what is a girl to do? Yup! e-Bay!
I purchased a lovely corset from Corset Boulevard (This was the one) and I can say that this is a real corset! Not one of those La Senza plastic boning type!
You could tight lace it, but I do not want to tight lace, since I am trying to get used to the feeling of having a corset!
Gosh, I am on my second day, and it's quite hard! Lol, here are a few problems I am having:
- Driving and wearing a corset is something else! One cannot slouch with a corset, therefore I was sitting upright! Great for the posture!
- Sitting down - Boy, am I having some trouble! But you get the hang of it!
- Trying not to walk like Frankenstein! I truly think I am walking as normal as can be.
- Bending down to pick objects up! I am paranoid to drop anything. I feel foolish not being able to bend my back!
I am pretty sure that more (funny) occurrence will happen and I will add them as I go!
Also, I will add a before and after corset! I tend to wear it under my clothes since I purchased an underbust and I do not want to entice my poor fellow co-workers!
I am pretty sure that I will get use to it soon, but as of now, it is somewhat awkward, but I enjoy seeing a smaller than usual waist... even though I am not laced tightly.
