Dear Constant Reader,
It’s Friday again! Here’s your tip!
A properly fitting corset will have a gap of a couple of inches in the back.
If you can lace your corset completely closed, it’s too big for you. If the lacing reveals most of your back, the corset is too small for you.
A good rule of thumb is that the gap should be about 10% of the corset size. For example, if you wear a 28, a gap of 2 to 3 inches is just fine.
For more about corsets, you can take Getting Tight: A Guide to Corsetry, my on-line workshop on Thursday, June 18. Learn all about buying, making, wearing, and removing corsets, plus an illustrated history of the garment (aka corset porn).
