Suu's day in a real corset...Or...how to re-learn how to breathe and move.

[Suu]

I just wore it for a walk down to Salvation Army and back. It's a big snug today. I need to learn to try to get it the same every day.

this makes me want to buy one of those suckers.  Will do when I'm not poor.  MOAR SUU PICS

[Suu]

I'm not wearing it today. I know that I should, but I have to work tonight and I think it's starting to take a toll on my digestive system, so I need to start watching what I'm eating now.

[LMNO]

Tapeworms, naturally.

[Suu]

No, just my gall bladder as predicted.

I ordered one last week and it arrived today.  I haven't worn a real one since the one I made in high school.  I'm on hour two and doing fine.  The trick to getting it laced as tightly as possible without it being uncomfortable is taking your time.  Lace it up until it's *snug*.  Then take 15-30 minutes to relax into it.  Walk around a bit and stretch.  Let your skin and organs have a chance to reposition themselves as naturally as possible under the corset.  Then lace it a little tighter.  Repeat until it is as tight as you want it to be.  If you do it right you won't feel faint or breathless.  Also, some people aren't very good at lacing it by themselves.  One of the common tips is to use a door knob.  I'm sure you've heard that before.  I already have exceptional posture and a decent waistline so I'm not feeling that so much.  However, it's very disconcerting having my girls so close to my chin.
Sorry for posting so late.  You probably could've used the tips a little earlier. Good luck and keep updating on your progress.

When My commission comes from selling the hrosie I'm currently riding I'm going to plunk down a decent bit of cash for one of those.

How much is the glue factory paying these days, anyway?

not sure, not working there.  However 16 year olds with daddy's money are paying me 20% commission.   

[LMNO]

What kind of horse, how old?

[Dysnomia]

11yr old Thoroughbred gelding, with tons of show miles with pony club, eventing, and dressage.  Stupid easy to ride, and cute as hell.  He's going on trial this weekend, and has been for sale for a week.

sry for threadjack suu!


tried on my corset just now, and it's broken I think.  At least too broken to survive being cinched up major tight.  You fail Frederick's of Hollywood!

Just wanted to stop in and show my support for women in corsets.
