Sooo...as my screen name implies, I work in the museum business. I often do period interpretation in the fall/winter. I am wondering if having a sleeve will prohibit me wearing a corset under my dresses. I dont know any sleeved history interpreters to ask.

Do any of you have trouble wearing corsets? I wear mine ad tight as what I can stand for the evening so that the clothing falls properly.

Anyone?

Eventually it should not be a problem. Check with Dr. for dates.

I can't quite speak from direct experience, but binders and compression garments are standard fare after the reconstruction (tummy tucks, lower body lifts, etc.) that many of us go through to get rid of the excess skin after all the weight is off, so it seems like a reasonable bet. It sure seems like I'm wearing a corset much of the time!

I wouldnt think it should be an issue once you are fully healed from surgery...there is still life after wls

I own and wear several corsets for sexy time with the boyfriend

Just wait until your internal stitches are healed and you will be good to go

Thank you all for the replies. Glad to know I wont have to give them up!

Thank you for asking this question, Museum-Mama! I wear corsets too, as part of my renaissance festival hobby/obsession. I plan to attend at least a couple during August and September, and I lace 'em quite snugly. You got me the answer to a question I hadn't even thought to ask yet--wow, you're good!
