Tight Lacing for beginners (and its benefits)
August 11, 2008
There are several reasons to buy corsets – they look and feel great, they give excellent support to the larger breasted women among us with back problems and they give that feminine shape to transgender and cross-dressing men with a minimum of fuss. Many people feel more confident, sexier, more feminine, and most often incredibly sensual when wearing a corset.
The most indicated models for beginners are the Underbust and the Waist Cincher, being more comfortable and allowing a better movement.
Fasten tightly around your waist, instantly reducing the size of your waist, midriff and tummy, they produce such dramatic results and can really transform your figure. It starts around your hip bone and reaches up and over your waist, ending at just below your bust. This means that it sucks in all of those problem areas around your middle including your muffin top (waistband overhang), love handles and back boobs!
Due to the strength of the fabric and the boning, custom made underbust corsets are also very supportive and will therefore also help with correcting your posture and lower back pain (consult your GP though!). This also makes it great for post natal and post surgery recovery but we do advise that you consult your own GP before wearing one. Try our underbust corsets today and see the amazing difference it can make to your figure!

Tight Lacing Concept
July 25, 2008
Tight lacing is the name given to the practice of using the corset for long periods of time, intending to alter the silhouette by reducing the waist. The Corset used for this is an evolution of the corsets that our great-grandparents used, which has nothing to do with what today we call a corset, available in lingerie stores and sex-shops.
The Corsets are built from resistant tissues, in several layers and reinforced in strategic areas, tied in the back, and with rigid fins, usually made of steel or aluminum.
It is a known fact since the Middle Ages that the constant pressure of the Corset on the waist and lower ribs for 16 to 24 hours daily bends gradually the floating ribs, and with time the alteration becomes definite. However, besides the fact that Tight Lacing demands discipline and willpower, it must be practiced with criterion, since the reduction of the waist is a historically proved fact, it is also incontestable that the exaggerated use or little criterion can cause several problems of health.
For effective reduction of the waist, modification of the internal organs location and accommodation of the ribs, the corset must be quite reinforced, having fins made of steel and eyelets really close to each other.
Beware of the choice of a second-hand piece: obviously the corset for Tight Lacing must be custom-made; it must not be very high in the superior part so it doesn’t become a nuisance while sitting; in the inferior part it must not be very short, because it takes the risk of causing deposit of the abdominal fat in the part free of pressure, creating an undesirable belly; one must avoid waterproof materials or materials that make the breathing of the skin difficult; finally, it must have an inferior diameter of 3,94 in to his waist when shut.
The most indicated models for continuous use are the Victorian Underbust and the Waist Cincher, being more comfortable and allowing a better movement.
You must be asking yourself about the practical effects of the Tight Lacing. There are some sites in the Internet with prognoses on reduction – of course it is necessary to be careful with those data, because when we talk about the human body, any prognosis is an exercise on fortune-telling. Only for illustrating purposes I transcribe one of those prognoses:
“A Corset can reduce the waist approximately 2 % each week, until you reach a reduction of 75 % of the original waist after about 3 months of use.”

The first goal of the Tight Lacer is to ‘close’ your corset, that is, starting from a piece with a diameter 3,94 inches thinner than her waist, she reaches the first stage when the corset manages to be completely closed. She must use it, then, during one more period until a sensation of comfort appears with the use, seeming to be loose, even tied to the utmost.
When that happens, it is time to change your corset for a smaller model. The new corset must again be 10 cm below your waist, and you can use the previous corset to sleep, saving the new piece. Repeating this process sometimes, you will find the waist of your dreams. However, it is necessary to be careful of not exaggerating, since some Tight Lacers tend to create an exaggerated waist, which not only isn’t healthy, but also turns them permanently dependent on the use of the corset.
There are people who cannot practice this training, like diabetics, people with respiratory insufficiency or back problems, etc. However, if you are healthy and have good sense to carry out a progressive and cautious training, no other method is as effective for reduction of the waist as the Tight Lacing.

Tightlacing returns in the 20th & 21st century
July 19, 2008
Corsets and Tightlacing have made a recent comeback since the 1990’s. Individuals of all ages have rediscovered the elegance and the self confidence that corsets bring, replacing old stigma’s of suppression and martyrdom. And as the wearer can use it to control, rather than being controlled, it is also becoming ironically a feminist item.
* * * * *
But what is Tightlacing?
In short, Tightlacing is the act of wearing a laced corset, 12-14 hours a day, seven days a week. Over time, the body will adapt to the shape, and become curvaceous.
True waist training requires at least 12 hours a day in a properly tailored corset made for tightlacing. Yes, it will reform your body, but like a diet it is only as permanent as long as you stick with it. These 12 hours must be when you are most active. Also, in order for your body to adapt properly to the corset’s shape, you must eat, drink, and do your daily routine while comfortably laced.
Tightlacing is not for those that are looking for a miracle cure (body wraps, electric pulse devices, unorthodox diets) for an unshapely body. Tightlacing will only work for you if you enjoy the feel of the hug of a properly tailored corset around your body. Yes it takes perseverance, but anything in life that is worthwhile is the same way.

Mme. Sher
Sher is a Brazilian corsetmaker that makes custom made corsets for tightlacing. Her contact with the haute couture starts in childhood, since her mother has always worked with it.
The research about corsets, made for her own use, began in 1998. Soon Sher realized that there was nothing like that in Brazil, and that the self-named “corsets” had nothing to do with the ones existing in other countries.
Preformed Half Cup in Dot Fabric Corset
The initially aesthetic concern evolved to the confection of higher level models that could shape the silhouette.
These corsets soon got the attention of friends that started ordering for themselves. The talking about the corsets got more and more people interested in it, and soon Sher found herself involved in a great business that quickly grew up.
The official launching of the line was in September 2004. Ever since, Sher has been taking care of a big and demanding clientele that searches for a slender silhouette without giving up comfort.
