Aug 21, 2017 | A Waist Trainers Diary, Corset Training | 2 Comments

Video 10: How To Alter A Corset Training Corset

Jul 10, 2017 | A Waist Trainers Diary, Corset Training, How To Make a Corset | 0 Comments

A later than expected corset alteration video. I had some issues with the corset, I’ll go into them in the video but I discovered the waist tape wasn’t symmetrical etc.

That aside I show you everything from chalk line to new binding covered edge. So if you want to alter a corset training corset you have that’s too high at the top or too low at the bottom, I have the solution! 🙂

Video 9: Final Corset Seasoning Session Corset 1

Jun 16, 2017 | A Waist Trainers Diary | 0 Comments

Today I’ve been wearing my corset out again, for 5 hours! Discussing wardrobe; leggings and high waisted jeans, my final thoughts on this corset and how I plan to alter the torso length next week (yes that will be videoed!)

Video 8: Venturing Outside In My Training Corset

Jun 16, 2017 | A Waist Trainers Diary | 0 Comments

Ventured out in my corset for the first time today, I was stealthing in several jumpers but still it was my first outing! Also tested wearing my corset over a body compression garment for less corset liner type wrinkling.
Plus I measured the top edge of the corset to find the loop side is 2/8 inch longer, won’t effect the corset training but does explain the slight leaning to the left at the front.

Video 7: No Corset Liner, The Effects

Jun 15, 2017 | A Waist Trainers Diary | 0 Comments

Today Nuka is doing her best to be adorably pesky, sorry for the many cute interruptions. I’m trying out corset training without the corset liner and discovering that; no corset liner = bone channel and eyelet marks on my skin, fun. Plus low-rise jeans are still not working for me and my corseted waist measurement is 28 1/2 inches today. PS if I look red (besides under the corset) that’s because I’m actually a little allergic to dogs ? I know, it’s a cruel world.

Video 6: My Corset Liner & Skin Condition

Jun 12, 2017 | A Waist Trainers Diary | 0 Comments

In this video I try a belt n high waist jeans and yes my corset gets stuck in my belt, oh well we’ll throw that one out of the corset wardrobe! I show you how my corset liner looks after taking the corset off, and how my skin looks after taking the liner off.

Video 5: Corset Stealthing, Torso Length & A Corset Seasoning Record Sheet

Jun 11, 2017 | A Waist Trainers Diary | 0 Comments

I’m corset stealthing today and attempting high-rise jeans (unsuccessfully). I’m also sharing my corset seasoning record sheet, which you can save and use yourself, and critiquing why torso length is almost as important as waist size.

Video 4: A Spot of Bother From My Waist Trainer

Jun 10, 2017 | A Waist Trainers Diary | 0 Comments

This morning I took my corset off in a huff because I felt restricted and was having one of those mornings. I tried again latter in the day and all went well. The corset is starting to look more like it fits my shape, I’m not sure if that’s because it’s molding to my shape or because I’m becoming familiar with it and learning how to wear it correctly.

Video 3: My Corset Training Wardrobe Is Evolving

Me & Nuka go a bit rock chic today & I find a clothing staple for my corset training wardrobe!
