A How to Guide
It is VERY IMPORTANT that you not try to lace your corset closed, or even very tightly on the first several wearings as a corset needs a "breaking in period". After a short period of wearing your corset comfortably, it molds itself to your body shape and the material will take the strain of lacing evenly. PLACING TO MUCH PRESSURE ON THE CORSET AT THE ONSET OF WEAR MAY DAMAGE THE FABRIC AND STITCHING.
Lacing Up:There are many different ways to lace up your corset. Different methods. Different number of laces. Different position. I will just mention two of each.
Any method you choose you must lace up the corset first. Lay the corset down flat, leaving a 4-6inch gap between the 2 pieces at all times.Now you are going to lace up the corset as you would a tennis shoe. Here is where the two methods differ slightly. In the first method, making sure the lace is even on both sides, you just lace up from top eyelet to the middle eyelet. Then with the second lace, from the bottom eyelet to the middle eyelet. This method causes more friction on the laces and you also need more strength to tighten. The second method you start as before but you criss cross , the first criss is over the eyelets and the second cross is under the eyelets. Continue until you are at the middle eyelets. Then start from the bottom eyelet and criss cross lacing up using the over and under method again until you reach the middle eyelets.(See example photos below). Of course in both methods if using just one lace, start either from the top or bottom and lace completly up not stopping at the middle eyelet. If your corset has a busk put it around your body and fasten. Fasten from the 2nd hook from the bottom up to the top. Then fasten the bottom hook last. Now position yourself to be laced up.
One popular position is laying on the bed face down with your arms stretched forward in front of you. This position is very comfortable. Another position is standing in a doorway reaching up over your head touching the door frame. This position is my favorite. In either case while being laced up pull your belly-button in as tight as you can towards your spine.
After getting into a comfortable position gently pull with equal amounts of pressure on first the top, then the bottom set of laces. If the corset needs tightened more pull gently on the "X's". Then repull gently on both sets of laces.
Wait 15-20minutes and retighten the laces. Make sure you don't get a tingling sensation or numbling effect in your legs. If you do you are laced to tight. LOOSEN AT ONCE.

Caring For Your Corset: The first two things that you must remember are 1) NEVER WASH YOUR CORSET IN THE WASHING MACHINE. This might twist or brake the steel boning. 2) When in doubt DRY CLEAN ONLY. Depending on the fabric of your corset, you may be able to gently spot clean with a very mild cloth. If the material can sustain spot cleaning, towel dry any dampness on the corset and lay flat to dry. NOTE: Some fabric can "water mark" so cleaning is really best left up to the professionals. Wearing a thin garment between your corset and skin will help protect your corset from body oils and perspiration. This may make the dry cleaning needs of your corset less frequent.
WHY WEAR A CORSET? by Emma Smith
Back in the Victorian Era it was considered indecent for a women not to wear a corset. But today some people think that a corset is just fetish wear or something that is worn only in the bedroom. But the corset has gone from the bedroom to the boardroom and everywhere in between. Whether wearing a Victorian style, a historical era, a front lace-up, under-bust or over-bust one, why do we wear them? I can only speak for myself, but to me a corset can make any women feel very alluring in a matter of minutes. No matter what a women’s shape or size a corset will enhance her figure to the ideal hourglass shape. Bringing out the best of her assets and minimizing her flaws. Putting on a corset will give the illusion of losing 10-15 pounds automatically. It also enhances the size of her breast making them look fuller and more voluptuous. The corset cinches the waist in giving the most slenderest person that ultimate hourglass look. Then the hips are accentuated to their fullest potential for the last alluring touch. A custom made corset containing steel spiral boning strategically placed that fit’s a woman like a glove will hold her posture in perfect alignment taking stress of her back. But the best part of wearing a corset is how it makes a woman feel. Every woman feels slightly different in a corset but I myself feel very sensual. For me it recaptures the time when woman were more gentile. When wearing a corset it feels like someone is giving me a tight hug that last the entire day and that makes me smile
Do Your Nightclothes Make You Feel Sexy? by Gregg Hall
One of the easiest things to do to keep the spark alive in a relationship is to wear sexy lingerie to bed. It is easy to fall into a rut of just wearing some frumpy flannel pajamas to bed. It makes the man feel appreciated and wanted when his woman cares enough to take the time and effort to wear something sexy and it makes a woman feel sexy when her man buys her sexy lingerie to wear because she knows he thinks she will look great in it.
It can be fun for both the man and the woman to buy lingerie on a regular basis. Sometimes you can buy alone and sometime you can shop together, you may find out some things that he likes that you didn't know before. Anything goes behind closed doors; this is your opportunity to be someone else. Take advantage of it and go wild!
The lingerie industry has come a long way now and you can actually get some of the most flimsy looking thin fabrics that still have support for women with larger bosoms.
Don't be afraid of wearing thongs and g-strings even if you wouldn't normally.
If you are concerned about a babydoll nightie being too short you can opt for a chemise instead which is a little longer and covers more.
Bras are a very private and personal item and it is difficult for a man to choose for his lady but technology has come a long way in bras as well and they now offer everything from underwire to demi-bras, to push up bras designed to enhance and exaggerate your cleavage.
Thongs have become increasingly popular and the sales back it up. Thongs have become much more comfortable to wear than their early predecessors and many women now wear them as everyday underwear now instead of only with lingerie as they did when they first came on the scene.
Other lingerie items that have experienced a big change are corsets and bustiers. In the early days of their inception their purpose was primarily functional where now they are used more to entice and seduce the man in the bedroom.
Stockings these days have become more and more sexy. What man isn't turned on by fishnet or lace stockings? Depending on the color of the lingerie you are wearing, accenting with white, black or a matching color of lace stockings can really be sexy.
