This is the progress just from the first four days of seasoning(Seasoning your corset is the process of slowly breaking in your corset. It allows the steel bones of the fabric to slowly mold to your shape and will result in a longer lasting, more comfortable corset. The seasoning process also gives your body some time to adjust to the pressure of a corset.) ? the corset isn’t even fully seasoned till the month mark. I’m just mad at myself for waiting this long to get one ?. I definitely recommend it! I got mine from alteregoclothing.com.

Don’t just buy one tho message them on Facebook with your measurements and photos (add that your currently loosing weight also) and they will recommend a style and size based off your measurements and body shape. The page on Facebook is “alter ego clothing”

Full list of steps and where to measure.

How hot are they to wear? I just can’t imagine wearing one in the summer. I can’t even imagine wearing on in the winter time in Phoenix!

Didn’t corsets go out with the Victorians? Do we really need to put ourselves through that kind of discomfort?

You wear this forever?

How did you find out about these? Do you know anyone that has permanent results? Or do you have to wear forever? Not much information on their website...

Anything that involves the Steele rods/elastic support, etc...actually decreases muscle tone. That's probably why it is able to shape you. In the 80's all Abdominal surgery were wrapped in these waist binders. Then back injuries jumped on board. Any back pain you got a back brace/support. When you took it off the poor muscle tone caused more bad then good. Oh forgot if you fractured a rib we did chest wraps, not sure how many pneumonia that caused but it was a common side effect. Like the old saying goes if you don't use it you loss it.....Ask you surgeon or PCP
