About to buy a corset for the first time? Or maybe you already have a corset but aren’t quite sure if you are putting it on correctly?
Putting on a corset can be tricky business and so at Mio Destino we have created an easy to use step-by-step guide with illustrations to guide you through the process.
Enjoy wearing your corset!
Step 1
The first step before trying on a corset is to lace it up at the back. Thread the lacing through the eyelets in a criss-cross fashion from the top downwards, ensuring the length of the lacing remains the same on either side.
Step 2
Half-way down measure a length of the lacing around 4 arm lengths long on each side and continue lacing from the end of this loop down to the bottom of the corset.
Step 3
At the bottom tie a knot in the lacing on the inside of the corset. Ease any excess lacing up to the centre to the loop you created earlier.
Step 4
Before putting on the corset loosen the laces as much as possible. Wrap the corset round you with the laces at the back and the front closures undone.
Step 5
Fasten your corset from the top by starting with the top closure and work your way down until it is fully fastened.
Step 6
Ideally find someone to help lace you into the corset. Get your assistant to pull loosely on the laces so the corset is loose but still held in place.
Step 7
Reposition your breasts to optimise your cleavage either by reaching above your head or manually manipulating them yourself until they are positioned to your liking.
Step 8
Get your assistant to pull the lacing tight before tying them in a bow in the centre of the corset.
Step 9
The sides of the corset should lie together at the centre and with a 2” gap at the top and bottom.
Step 10
Now you are all set to stun everyone with that gorgeous new hourglass figure the corset has created. Enjoy!
