How to wear a tight lacing corset

1. Loosen the corset by undoing the centre loops and pulling the back of corset apart 6-7" but dont undo the laces at the bottom of the corset!

2. Undo the front busk and put the corset around you - just like you are putting on a belt!!

3. Fasten the front bust starting at the top and work towards, make sure loops are fastened.

4. Gently pull the centre loops to the tighten your corset .

Corsets must be worn-in gently, if you tighten them up too much too quickly it can damage the corset. When you first put your corset on pull the lacing so it fits comfortably and snug but not too tight, after a while you should feel that the material has stretched slightly/your body has got used to the fit, so you will be able to tighten some more, this could happen a few times until you have it at its tightest fit. If you follow these instructions your corset should last a long while. 

How to Lace Your Corset

Your corset only needs a single lace do not be tempted to cut into two as you think it looks too long!

1.  Feed the corset lace though the top two eyelets (holes) of the corset making sure you have equal length of lace either side.

2.  Take the right hand corset lace and lace through the second eyelet on the left and then vice versa take the left  hand side lace and feed through the second eyelet on the right.  Keep repeating one eyelet down at a time until you get to the middle of the corset (normally seven eyelet/holes down).

3.  At this point create a large loop either side of the corset by lacing out and then back into the same side one eyelet down.

4.  Continue lacing down to bottom of corset following step 2.

5.  There are two options now you can either tie the corset lace together or you can tie a knot in each end of the lace (make sure the knots are big enough so they do not slip back through the eyelet) .
