Mid hip Underbust Corset
The Mid-hip Corset is best suited for ladies that have fuller hips and a bit of tummy. The corset has very little rise at the bottom from the center front to the hip-line. The bottom is cut just high enough for comfortable sitting. This extra coverage puts more compression over the lower abdomen and mid hips.Click here for the Mid-Hip Corset Gallery

Further Details
Are you looking for a corset to start a tight lacing program? Perhaps a corset to wear under that special evening dress or business suit? Or just maybe you want to be the center of attention and wear it over your clothing! Anyway you desire, the Mid-hip Corset will allow you to sculpt your body in comfort. If you live in a warm climate, the Mid-hip Corset is also available in a cooler, Summer Corset design.The Mid-hip Corset is an underbust model suited for modern tightlacers. This corset is designed to be virtually invisible under most modern clothing such as pants, shorts, dresses, and blouses. The Mid-hip corset is a little more restrictive over the hips than our Short Corset , but still allows you to move about easily. Even with a 4-6 inch waist reduction, this style is very comfortable to wear and never hampers walking or sitting. For those that are commited to daily waist training, this style is even comfortable to sleeping. Please see the articles page for detailed information about proper tightlacing techniques.
The compression over the abdomen is achieved through the cut of the corset panels and the stiff underbusk. The stiff underbusk is a moderately firm piece of 1" wide steel cut to the length dictated by the clients physical attributes. The underbusk prevents undue pressure over the upper abdomen. If there is too much pressure over the upper abdomen, the tightlacer may encounter heartburn, gas, constipation, and bloating. The underbusk also flattens the lower abdomen, resulting in a svelte figure that any girdle, antique or modern, cannot provide.
If you are a very petite woman or are rather thin and have slight hips, then I recommend the Short-hip Corset Style. If you are a male, I typically recommend the Short Corset for you as well. If you are a heavy set man, the Numan is an excellent choice. This may be a bit confusing, so I created a page to help you select the right style of corset for your needs.
