Self Lacing Tips
You'll need yourself, the corset, a mirror.
Make sure the corset is open in the back. It
should be so loose that you can do up the corset
without straining or sucking in
Wrap the corset around you and do up the busk.
I start from the top and work my way down, but
clip it up anyway that works best for you
Wiggle around until the waist of your corset
is at your natural waist. I know it sounds redundant,
but if the corset waist ends up above the natural
waist the corset will get real uncomfortable,
real fast.
This is where a lot of people start wincing b/c
it puts some strain on the corset, but I think
a little strain is better than not being able
to wear your corset at all.
Grab the right puller loop in your left hand
and the left puller loop in your right hand. Pull
out to your sides, when the waist feels comfortably
snug tie the loops off in front
This is where the mirror comes in. adjust the
top half of the corset so it lines up with the
waist. Hold all of the slack with one hand. With
your other hand grab the top half of the puller
loops (yes with the corset still tied off) and
pull until all the slack is at the puller loops.
Without letting go of the slack (which should
now be at the puller loops) untie the front and
retie it so you're no longer holding the slack.
Both hands should now be free.
Repeat with bottom half of corset
Last step I promise: Untie the corset, do not
let the corset loosen up while doing this, retie
it so the corset is tied in back.
