To position a corset correctly, you start by wrapping it around your waist.
Positioning a corset is the first step in putting it on, setting it up correctly before you begin the tightening process. Getting the initial placement right ensures a comfortable fit and proper shape.
Steps for Positioning a Corset
Based on common practice and the provided reference, here are the key steps to initially position your corset:
- Wrap Around Waist: Start by taking the corset and wrapping it around your midsection.
- Align Laces and Busk:
- Ensure the laces are flat against your back.
- Make sure the busk (the metal closures) is facing your chest at the front.
- Fasten the Busk: Secure the corset at the front by fastening the buttons on the busk. This closes the corset loosely around you.
- Adjust Initial Placement: Adjust the corset so the smallest part rests against your natural waist. This is typically the narrowest point of your torso.
Once the corset is positioned and loosely closed via the busk, you can then proceed to tighten the laces using the pull loops (also known as bunny ear loops) to achieve the desired fit and shape. The crucial initial positioning involves getting the front and back aligned correctly and fastening the busk.
