I have narrowed down my options to one corset in particular from Corset-Story. I absolutely love it so far, but I want to make sure it is everything I need it to be before I buy it. It is 13" long. The description for the corset says that it is fine as long as I am 5'4" (I'm 5'5" so I'm in the clear), but I read somewhere on Romantasy about how the length of the corset can actually constrict your fanny if the corset is long enough, so to pay attention to the length. A huge goal of mine is to get my butt 1) bigger and 2) more lifted, so if this corset constricts any part of my buttocks I will be very paranoid while wearing it and upset. Silly, I know, but such are my priorities!

Welcome to the world of corsets! Haha! Glad to have you on board, girl!

Honestly, it's bull that they could even say that about the corset length. I'm 5'4 1/2" (apparently I shrunk some), and the corset I bought (not sure the length) is VERY tall on me. It digs into my hips and pushes my breasts up a good bit at the same time. :/ Meanwhile, my friend who is 4'11 1/2" has a LONGER torso than me, and the corset is actually a little short on her! (She's mostly torso, I'm mostly legs.)
So your best bet is to measure yourself just to be sure. Because there's no way they can assume everyone's torso is the same at certain heights. Before corsetting, my scoliosis had made my torso so short I almost couldn't even wear the corset at all (the first few wears, it came up to my nipples!).

Also, about it "constricting your fanny", yes it definitely can, but not in the way you'd think. Mine is longer in the back, so it definitely comes down to far. But it doesn't cover and shrink my butt; rather, it just digs into the top of it (this has actually REALLY hurt me at times if I sit back too fast). I've got a pretty high up butt, and it doesn't confine it to make it smaller at all, so in that aspect it's fine. But if you can, definitely try to find something that won't dig into the top of your butt too far. It's...a very unique kind of pain...I think I pinched a nerve one time...

Thanks, glad to hear from someone who's already bought from them! Makes me feel more confident about choosing from their site. :3


Congrats Abi, you'll be tightlacing in no time! Haha!
