So tight lacing has become very popular. And there are a myriad of businesses who are willing to accommodate the many young women searching for a quality corset. Or a starter corset.
I have had several corsets in my life and as my body fluctuates with age, pregnancy and stagnation (lol). I have found myself needing of or wanting options.
So on a search I went, for a low priced corset to wear just in case.
My budget in no way allowed me to purchase a custom made or quality corset so I settled for an eBay find.
On a leap of faith I purchased this corset for somewhere around $16 dollars.
Why a leap of faith?
Because it didn't show the back of the corset nor provide any details on the boning used.
I should have know.... although the corset is quite lovely to look at the lacks substance. It has small plastic 'boning' and laces in back with a cheap piece of ribbon.
Worth $15 dollars, not really, lesson learned!
Although corsets can squeeze you in, they are more fashioned to create a specific fashionable silhouette.
As there is no major structure in this one layer fashion corset this is certainly a last resort if my other corsets are unavailable.

Oh no!! That's too bad as the corset looks so beautiful! Can you make slits in the boning tape and slip in steel bones? I wish you the best on future corsetting adventures!!
