(Backpacking) How to Buy a Corset
No commentsBy Chris LeRoy
Corsets are not necessarily the easiest thing to buy. Referring to of course, a real, traditional corset and not just one of those tops with the corset name that everyone is wearing just about everywhere. A corset gives you an hourglass shape, trims your waist line and improves your posture all at the same time. Many women wear them simply for how they feel in one, knowing that everything is pulled in tight and some use it specifically for waist training. Corsets are a favorite article of clothing for brides too.
An authentic corset will hold its shape over years and be durable offering you sensuality as well as being very functional. Quality materials and reinforced stitching will ensure you that you will be wearing it for years to come.
Corsets are made and sold by waist size in increments of 2 inches, generally from size 18 to 40. An authentic corset is meant to be ordered four inches smaller than your waist measurement. You will need to take measurements around the absolute fullest part of your bust, smallest part of your waist and at the top of your hip bones. If you have measurements that are really out of the ordinary, than you can get a corset made just for you. Some corsets are also available with detachable suspenders for wearing stockings. Not all corsets will include this feature so if this is something you are interested in then make sure you are getting the proper one.
Keep in mind that corsets, like a pair of shoes, need a break in period. Do not try to pull your corset too tight at first or you can damage the eyelets. After a few wears you will be able to pull it as tight as you want. If you plan on wearing it often, you might want to think about wearing a chemise or a tube top under to protect it from constant perspiration. It is recommended to sprinkle powder on the torso and refrain from wearing lotions as they can cause staining of the fabric. Most authentic corsets will be dry clean only however, you will be able to spot clean it with a mild cloth. Never throw it in the washing machine and never attempt to use any type of detergent on it. You can end up altering the color. Be sure to care for your corset as thoughtfully as you picked it out.

What is the Correct Way for Doing up a Corset?
By Chris LeRoy
Corsets may not be as easy as just sliding into your favorite tank but the results that it does to your figure are worth the extra time you spent getting dressed. To ensure comfort, do not lace your corset up too tight the first few times. You need to allow it time to mold naturally to your body and your body needs time to get used to the idea of wearing one.
It is of course; easiest if someone can assist you in putting your corset on but this rarely an option so you handle the task by yourself. All woman are not Scarlett O’Hara from Gone With the Wind and do not have an assistant to pull the ribbons tight while they hold onto the bed post. You will want to loosen the lacing enough for you to get into it. Once you are into the corset, fasten up the front clasp, starting at the top and working downward. Now comes the tricky part. Reach around to the back and gently pull the loops and tighten the lacing, progressing toward the center from the bottom and the top. This may seem tough the first few times but you will get used to it. Don’t try to look in the mirror to do this; it will only frustrate you that everything is backwards.
There is a method called Tight lacing that someone practice for a waistline rewarding tactic. It is the act in which the wearer typically wears their corset night and day, constantly pulling the waste tighter. Once a reduction of two to four inches occurs, the wearer then graduates down to a smaller size corset. This is repeated until the wearer reaches their goal waist size. This does stir up some controversy of being unhealthy or harmful to your body but most feel if done properly it can be effective and not hurtful.
It is also important to always remember when wearing your corset for the first few times it is absolutely of the utmost importance to give your corset that break in period that it needs. This not only prevents damage to the corset but it also prevents your body from feeling discomfort.

Top Ten Types of Shoes and Footwear
By Tracey Shoes
Dress shoes tend to be identifiable by their smooth and supple leather finish, leather soles and sleek lines, while casual shoes tend to have sturdy uppers and a wider profile. Some types of dress shoe can be worn by either gender and they mostly cover the lower foot, but not the ankle.
This upper element of the shoe is often without apertures or openings, but may also be made with openings or even itself consist of a series of straps, e.g. an open toe featured in women’s shoes.
Shoes with uppers made high to cover the ankles are also made; a shoe with the upper rising above the ankle is usually considered a boot but certain styles may be referred to as high-topped shoes or high-tops. Normally, a high-topped shoe is fixed by laces or zips, although some styles have elastic to ease slipping the shoe on.
There is a large variety of shoes available for women, in addition to most of the men’s styles being more accepted as unisex. Some broad categories are:
High-heeled footwear may be shoes with heels 2 inches (5 cm) or higher. They are often seen as having more sex appeal than low heels and are as a result commonly worn by women for formal occasions or social outings.
Kitten heels are low high heels from about 1 to 2 inches high, and are set in from the back of the shoe.
Sneaker boot and sneaker pumps are shoes that look like an athletic shoe, but is equipped with a heel, making it a kind of novelty dress shoe.
Wedge Sandals are sandals but have the ankles higher as if wearing a high heels shoe, a kind of hybrid. Mules are shoes or slippers with no fitting around the heel (i.e. they are backless) also known as slip-ons. Sling backs are shoes which are fixed by a strap behind the heel, rather than over the top of the foot. Espadrilles are flat or high-heeled casual fashion sandals in a style which originally came from the Pyrenees. They usually have a cotton or canvas upper and a flexible sole of rope or rubber.
Clogs are a Platform shoe with very thick soles and heels. Moccasins originated by Native Americans, are a soft shoe without a heel and usually made of leather.
Sandals are open shoes of a sole and various straps, leaving much of the foot exposed to air. They are as a result popular for warm-weather wear, because they allow the foot be cooler than an enclosed shoe would. Slip-on shoes are dress or casual shoes without laces; often with tassels, buckles, or coin-holders (penny loafers).
Boat shoes, or “deck shoes” are similar to a loafer, but more casual. Laces are usually simple leather or cotton with no frills. Typically made of leather and featuring a soft white sole to avoid marring or scratching a boat deck. The first boat shoe was invented in 1935 by Paul Sperry.
Boots: Long shoes (covering the ankle) frequently made of leather. Some are designed to be used in times of bad weather, or simply as an alternate style of casual or dress wear. Styles include rubber boots and snow boots, as well as work boots and hiking boots.
And finally who could forget the ever faithful slipper? Worn primarily at home, they can often be seen curled up in front of the TV with a pyjama wearing person.
