I had a question today from Angela about weight loss and corset training that I thought would be a valuable one to share with you all:
Hi this is Angela, and I had a few questions about corset training. What if I wanted to corset train my body but I am over weight. Would I still end up with a smaller waist or would I need to lose the weight I want to lose before I corset train. I remember when I was younger I wore a corset everyday for 2 years. My body started shaping like an hour glass. I was thinner also. Once I took it off with in time and over the years of gaining weight my shape is still hour glass but not as it was before… How could i go back to how I was. Is this harmful to the body?
Hi Angela, no I don’t think it’s harmful, as long as it’s done gradually. Obviously if you want to get back down to the size you were at before and you have put on weight since then, you will have to lose it again. You may want to lose the weight first then corset train your waist smaller as otherwise you’ll get through corsets faster – if you’re getting thinner all over, you’ll end up with the gap at the laces closing sooner than someone with a stable weight and need to buy progressively smaller corsets at a faster rate. Which can prove very costly if you’re not making your own! But besides the cost, there is no reason you can’t combine tight lacing and weight loss, the two go hand in hand as wearing a corset restricts the amount of food you can comfortably eat and so corset training often results in weight loss anyway because of this.
I hope that helps, Scarlett
