I've always been a huge fan of corsets boulevard, and to a large extent I still am. However after trying on a friends from corsets-uk linky, I have to say I have been converted. For about the same price, you have have "proper" lace, and to be frank a garment that is much better constructed. They also offer a bit more advice in terms of choosing the correct length corset for your height. Personally I'd recommend the heavy lacing corsets as they give an amazing figure without being "too much" for a corset virgin! XxX | ||||

You can buy some very nice corsets "off the peg" from some very good eBay stores. However, for the very best corsets, you should buy a custom made corset. To that end I can not recommend highly enough http://www.honeybeecorsets.com/ Yes, it *is* more expensive, but it is very much worth the extra cost. Edited 3 Oct 10, 9:26 PM by Christina1394 | ||||

Thank you for the CorsetsBoulevard recommendation!
After Miss SexyLondoners tried on a corset at LAM this weekend, I have decided we need one in our lives. She looked simply incredible in it! However, the prices were rather steep for something that is likely to be used so rarely. At the price of CB though, it's definitely worth purchasing one. Shame there is such a small range in 22inches though | ||||

I think it depends as well, on your own figure or body size. I am, heaven forbid here, a bit on the fat side!!! My first corset I bought on line from @FetishJess, and its adorable, and my second, I bought from corsets uk. As I have a rather ample bosom, that does take some, ummm.....restraint! I would buy from corsets uk again.

Arrrr, I do mine up on my own but sadly not as tight as I'd wish. This is not a bad thing for when I am driving any way. When it's on I pull the cord as much as possible and then bring it around my waist and tie it at the front. Then when at an event etc I ask a freind to tighten it up.

Just bought one from CB, will post again when it arrives with our thoughts. With Miss SexyLondoners being a fashion graduate I'm sure she'll have a thing or two to say about the quality of the craftsmanship etc hopefully it will all be good! | ||||

If you buy in the FairyGothMother (Lulu and Lush) shop in London the staff will always show you the best way to lace yourself. The staff have always been helpful everytime we've been there with advice and tips. | ||||
