Your guide to buying and wearing a Corset
Buying a corset will do wonders for your sex appeal. Please
remember that you need to have a figure if you are too over
weight you wont get the same look. I am size 36, 34, 40 and I
can look good! I would start with a black satin number and once
you have your confidence start to go for other colours and
styles. Personally i have 8 corsets, and each one makes me feel
curvy and sexy.
Invest in a corset this should not be a one time, one wear
purchase, you will look to pay between $150 and $300 which
should last you a lifetime. My favourite corset retailer is
Agent Provocateur however there are many online channels to
purchase use our search function on the top right hand of this
page and type the word "corset" to get corset related search
results.
Over the years I have perfected lacing my own corsets, however
you will need some help at first but here are a few tips;
Loosen the lacing at the back of the corset to achieve an even
gap of approx 4 inches from top to bottoms.
Make sure all the hooks are undone on the front of the corset
and place the corset around your body so the lace is behind and
the fastens/hooks are at the front.
You should now have the lace hanging down either side e.g. left
behind and right behind.
Fasten the front of you corset, it should still be loose since
you have not tightened the lace from behind. Once fastened pull
the left and right lace from behind, pull it together slowly to
avoid damage to the corset boning.
Your corset should be comfortable yet supportive and you should
be able to breath in and out without feeling constricted.
After a few weeks of wearing the corset you can shorten the lace
strings since the corset would have gelled more with your body.
Please note that you should leave at least 18 inches of lace.
Caring for your corset is key, if you have purchased on a
quality retailer you should have received a box with tissue
paper. If not purchase these 2 things and wrap your corset away
after each use. You dont need to wash you corset after every
use; I wear mine at least once a week and only wash every couple
of months. You will find hanging your corset out on a washing
line to air will be enough to keep it fresh. To wash I recommend
dry cleaning or a gentle hand wash using a very mild detergent.
Do not at any times wash in a washing machine or tumble dry.
Please always read the washing instructions on your corset
before undertaking the cleaning process.
Have fun and feel sexy! Love Miss Kensington xxx
