Corset Lacing

Loosen the laces in the back. Don’t allow them to come out of the grommets but loosen it dramatically. It needs to fit around you easily.

Do up the busk, zip or other non-adjustable fastening. This is fairly simple provided you have followed step one.

Start to tighten the lacing. Yes you are working with your hands behind you and this takes a bit of practice. The method of lacing you have used will affect how quickly you can do this. The "rabbit ears" at the waist is advantageous. This method creates two places to tighten and loosen your corset: the bottom and the waist.

As the corset gets snug, tie the lacing and adjust your boobs, you do not want them getting flattened unless you wish them to be flattened of course. Use your hands and lift them into place before the corset is tightened. If someone else is helping to pull the laces then raise your arms above your head before the tightening process begins, this will lift your boobs into a better position, manual adjustment may still be needed.

Tighten the corset to a comfortable feel. You can tighten your corset more after about half an hour and more still later. This is especially recommended if you have chosen to tight lace your waist to a small size. Tight lacing is a slow process and I would not recommend rushing this. During the waist training process, a discipline to do a little physical exercise is mandatory to avoid injuring your muscles.
