FabSwingers.com forum: Corset...

Bedfordshire

So I took the plunge and treated myself to a beautiful corest, make that 2 as it was BOGOF! Anyhoos, tried it on just now, could not get it fitting right as the 'strings' did not pull quite right, but I kinda got the drift how it would look. Then the panic set in. I could not get the bugger off!!!!!!! Managed to undo all the front fastenings apart from the Middle one. I was almost in tears trying to get it off, having a mini panic attack which affected my breathing with in turn affected my logic which in turn almost got me to the point of getting scissors to cut the bloody thing off. I was grappling with the string at the back trying to loosen the corset but it just was not happening. Stood back and caught my breath. Counted to ten. Managed to get final fastening undone.

Ideas anyone? lol

Put longer strings in it so you have more of a chance of undoing the back x

"Do the back first or have someone on hand to help "

Would that not make it almost impossible to do up at the front? I thought you needed to loosen the back, fasten the front then pull the back together?!

Someone on hand, sadly only have my son here and don't wanna damage him any more

String is really long but you pull from the Middle so the top and bottom bits don't get pulled which was when I stopped and tried to get it off lol

I tighten the back before I put it on as I have no one to help. I haven't adjusted it since I did it

Doing the corset ( Proper one) is so much hard work when you are getting dressed alone

That's the down fall

I had to ask my the guy I was seeing to the tighten and do the knot

The lacy bit is a bra. I was covering all modesty points for that shoot.

My black one is a zip-up one, and the zip failed the very first time I put it on, due to misalignment! I re-did it and was fine, even dancing all night, but I'm not sure I would trust the bloody thing never to spontaneously open!

I've been there! I find its just practice and getting the knack of it, finding what positions you need to bend into to get the metal clasp things done up or undone. Could you have another practice run with someone around who could help you fully loosen it if you get stuck?

I fully loosen the back as far as I can before fastening the front, then lace up. Or the reverse to take it off.

With a bit of practice as well you get to know which bits of the cord to pull to make which bits of it tighten or loosen, it's difficult to visualise when you're doing it behind your own back or with a mirror though.

I have an overbust corset, and the middle hook is always the hardest to undo.

Make sure you've loosened the cords as much as you can, undo the other hooks and then breathe in. Then turn the fastening in towards you and push together, this should unhook it.

If not, lie down on the bed, breathe in and do it again. It will unhook, just takes a bit of fiddling with.

Just an aside, a correctly sized corset should not have the back panels meeting up when the laces are tightened. If it does it's too big.

Also if you can breathe easily in a corset it's not tight enough, lol

Loosen the back as much as humanly possible. It's always the middle busk that's a bugger to undo. Lean forward, and if it's an overbust pop the boobs out for more wriggle room, swear a lot, exhale and I kind of push it in before it finally loosens.

As for tightening on your own, that gets loads easier with practice. If in doubt, door knobs. Loop one bunny ear around at a time.

Always put shoes on before you put your corset on. And steel boned ones are the best. I lace mine at back to fit then just have to fasten front. Lying on bed helps align the front clips easier

Always steel boned unless you are really slim. The nylon bones just bend and dig in if you have any spare flesh. Steel bones, someone to tighten the laces (and untighten afterwards) and you can take six inches off your waist, I love them
