Corsets
Hey ladies!
I bought the Mon Cheri in mauve off another woman on this site and holy mahoney is it TIGHT! It's the smallest 2X I've ever tried to put on. So, I'm going to use that as an opportunity to motivate myself to lose a bit of weight. Realistically though, I will need some help from corsets/shapewear to get in this baby. I have a corset already, but I need help getting into it as it laces in the back. Does anybody have any advice or can recommend a good easy to put on corset? Are there some corsets that are better for wearing under clothes than other kinds of corsets? These are probably dumb questions, but I'm new to the whole thing so any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

As long as you have enough cord/string to have a bit of excess (so that you can tighten) you should be able to do it yourself. Fasten the stays in front, then gently tighten the cord toward the center. If you have enough cord, you can try looping the center loops around a doorknob, then walking away to tighten them. Don't overtighten, especially at first; wear it a bit loose to let the corset gradually accept your shape for its own. For wearing under clothes, you want something that doesn't have much design--burleque and steampunk corsets are definitely not undergarments. The other consideration is that the stays don't protrude much. There are a few corsets that have a bit of extra material to cover the stays, but most don't. I don't know why, seems like it should be standard.
