Initially, corsetry has some strict rules. These Corsets were also made based on these strict rules. The corset expert still follows these rules, and they are passing on for ages.
But over time, many of the corset wearers broke a few of the rules to launch into a new kind of experience. Over time, it was also found that there is no harm in breaking some of the rules if they are not doing any harm to you.
Check out some of the rules and how there are exceptions to them.
The Size of Corsets:
The right size of the corset is quite important for any customer to buy the right corset. Often buying the wrong corset can lead to unsatisfied results.
-
Rule:
The rule says that corsets should be made in strict sizes such as 20”, and others. They should not be like dresses that are easily available in different sizes such as Medium, US size 6, etc. Experts say that these common sizes are not standardized, and they may not allow the corset to fit your body properly.
-
Exception:
The exception is that many of the corset makers today break this rule of size in number. They make corsets with the sizes of Small, Medium, and Large. They have specific sizes under each category so that the customers can find their size easily. These brands also offer the option of customizing as per the customer’s exact size so that the corset fits them exactly.
The Number of Layers:
A lot of people consider the number of layers in the corset to be an important point. While on the other hand, other people have others thinking about it.
-
Rule:
Most corset makers say that corsets with multiple are great as they help in easy Waist Training and are durable.
-
Exception:
There are many corset wearers who prefer to wear corsets of a single layer as per the exception. If the fabric is of high quality and the knitting is done correctly, even the single layer corsets can be very strong. The single-layer corsets are more breathable, making it more comfortable for you to wear them.
Waist Tapes:
Waist tapes on corsets often offer a sense of assurance to many of the corset buyers. If you are buying a cheap corset, having this tape can give you a sigh of relief.
-
Rule:
Experts mention that a waist tape is very important in a corset as it protects the corset from stretching. Many experts also mention that if you wish to train your waist, wearing a corset without the tape will not work much.
-
Exception:
Some of the corset buyers and customers have mentioned that their corsets have got stretched even in the presence of the waist tape. Hence, the waist tape is not more an assurance. It is also important to check whether the quality of the corset fabric is good or not.
Zippers:
You will find different corsets today, such as with metal busk or even with zippers. Often customers buy the corsets based on their preferences.
-
Rule:
Earlier it was believed that corsets with an opening at the front or side could not offer proper results. Hence, many of the corset makers, even today, make corsets in the traditional way.
-
Exception:
Many corset buyers and experts have noticed that the opening does not matter for your waist training. The zipper is a great way to wear the corset comfortably. After this, you can do tightlacing at the back so that the corset can train your waist properly.
Bones:
Bones are the most important element of any corset that you are wearing. It is the bones that support your shape and helps your waist in training.
-
Rule:
After the whalebones were gone, steel bones took their place in corsets. Apart from this, there are also many other options, such as plastic bones. Many experts mention that lightweight bones cannot help in waist training. Hence, it would help if you always went for steel bones.
-
Exception:
Many of the buyers have mentioned that they have found great results with synthetic whalebones too. Though it is a great idea to use steel bones in the corset, that does not mean that plastic or other lightweight bones do not work well.
Let’s Sum Up
Hence, there are many such rules of corsetry that have been broken over time. The best thing is that these experts have shown some other alternatives that can be used in place of the strict corset rules. Of course, the rules are the best for results if you are following them strictly. But if you are getting too much uncomfortable with any of the rules, you have exceptions to offer you an alternative thing. You should research a bit and should get the right thing for you.
