The big squeeze - Telegraph

Article outlining the return of the corset (back) into fashion.

It's more in the "blog" style about personal experience than any real insights or analysis about what this could signal (and i notice not one of the corsetsd in the picture features the traditional busk front) but anything that draws the public's attention to "the prettiest of prisons" is good for enthusiasts, right?

Lol...this was quite funny.

I think most people have a negative view of corsets. As for having fun whilst wearing a corset..of course you can. I know people who have decided to try a corset, only to go straight in at a 5" reduction! Wah! No wonder it's gonna hurt girl! A little at a time. I think people actually believe that you can get an 18" waist in an instant, and do not realise that it takes time and will power. And corset training is perfectly safe if done properly, plus, organs will naturally move back into placeif you give up wearing them.

It's just misinformation.

But I don't reccomend dancing like a loon for hours on end in a steel boned corset, no matter how used to corsets you are...I learnt that the painful way.
:P

"And in the unlikely event that you get to the bedroom, surely you have to get the girdle off before he sees it?"

I knew plenty of male girdle fans! And i dont mean William Shatner! lol If you get a pretty lace one or a sexy waspie corset (or any sexy corset) your fellas gonna love it, youre gonna feel sexy. I want to introduce that woman to the wonderful world of sexy vintage undies!

God yeah and none of the corsets on the article look particularly tight laced! Or the kind of thing you'd be wearings as shapewear, they're more boudoir attire

Haha, I got my first girdle a while ago and it was so pretty my man insisted I wore it straight away! And he'd said he wasn't a fan before. People have this misconception about vintage undies, but it can soon be turned around!
