What to wear under your corset
Before we begin hooking the corset around your body, we must address an issue of protecting your body and corset from each other. The human skin produces oils that will slowly destroy the integrity of the corset's inner panels. Also, the compression and stiff form of the corset may begin to abrade, and chafe your tender skin after only a few hours of wear. It is very important to wear a light, smooth garment between your body and corset. Not only will this garment protect your body and corset from each other, but will allow the corset to glide smoothly over your frame. This allows better positioning of your body in the corset, as well as greater ease in actual lacing.Garments suitable to wear under the corset are Wasp Creations Corset Liners, bodysuits, leotards, slips, A-Line T-shirts, all-in-one girdles. The best garment would be light, smooth, and have a minimum of seams. Try to avoid wearing a garment with seams at the side, as the seams will quickly agitate your skin after only a few hours of wear. If you plan to wear your corset under your daily clothing, it would be unwise to wear an under garment that will hamper bathroom activities.
My favorite article of clothing to wear under the corset is the Corset Liner. The Corset Liner will prolong the life of your new corset and will provide more comfort while tightlacing. The Corset Liner has been tailored for your body, so it will not bulk up at the waist, or pinch your hips and will not appear outside the corset.
Below are steps to properly place the Wasp Creations Corset liner onto your body.
1. Apply lotion to your body and allow to dry.
2. If you look on the inside of the liner near the elastic, you will notice a section of red thread. This is to denote the top rear of the liner.
3. Just step into the Liner, and adjust around your body for a smooth fit. The seam should run up the center of your spine. It should fit under your breast line and over your hips.
4. Now you are ready to lace up!
