Corset

Im curious about getting a corset to wear often to improve my shape. Are corsets noticeable through clothes, like can you see it when you have just one layer of a tight shirt on? And do corset’s actually reshape your bone structure? Also, I know it cinches the wait, but does it take in the “love handles” too?? And the spandex body shapers work like corsets? Are they effective? Thanks for the help!

Answer #1

spandex body shapers arnt permanent, they only help for things like when your dressing up… and corest can re-shape you a bit but only if you wear them for years its not going to take 1 week or 1 month to see much of a difference…and it has to be really tight, so its also not helpful when your doing sport or need to breath a lot.it wont reshape your bone structure…eg…hips and all that, and if you were to use it now to make them smaller it could do a bit of damage. the only thing it helps with is the waist, by making that smaller and pushing all your internal organs way up above your belly button…so if your not into changing were they belong, best not to get one. and yes, no matter how tight they are youll see them over tight clothes…they have a lot of panels and corsetting at the back, and the string/ribon is easily seen under tight clothes…most of all…its not something you can wear in hopes of loosing weight…because it doesnt help you loose weight…all it does is push your fat in different places… so have a good think about this first

Actually, yes it does. It’s a type of binding. The fat & waste will be naturally disposed of(either shtting or pssing it out if ti’s water weight). It will make you’re waste quite small. It’s a type of biding really. People have accomplished extremely small waist wearing corsets.

Answer #4

“spanx” makes some really great body shapers. there are some really great shapers out there, but I definitely wouldn’t wear a corset. I wear body shapers, on occasion, and they are fabulous. they smooth things out where things need smoothing, take a few inches off and are really comfortable! macy’s has some really great ones and so does kohls.
