Okay, so, I have a question or two.
First: Do corsets really help with posture?
I ask because, I've been crazy over them for years, lots of my school notes and such are doodled with corsets or laces and such, and when I did start to actually look into them and do a bit of research, I've heard conflicting stuff. I really would like to get one, but a) I'm only sixteen, seventeen in March, though I'd be buying it myself, I haven't grown in at least a year or more (I'm 6'0. If I get any taller, I swear, I will freak out) b) I'd have to get mom's permission to buy one for myself because I want to go and actually get it fitted, make sure it's proper, and I love the corsets they do at this shop. Unfortunately, the place is on the mainland, so I'd need some sort of mom-consent. And c) my posture is atrocious and it makes me look absolutely repulsive. I can't not slouch, my posture is that bad. I consciously correct my posture, then get distracted doing something else, then next thing I notice I'm slouched again. I have frequent back pain, too. Not too too often, but just mildly and often enough that it's irritating. And even now, as I type this, I slouch. I sit up straight, then if I don't focus on it for too long, I'm bent over the keyboard again.
I think that if they would help me improve my posture, it'd be a good point for the reasons why I should be able to buy myself a corset, no?
Egh, hate having to ask consent for anything. I'm worried of my mom judging me most of all. XP
Or, I could wait until I'm eighteen and done with high school. Two of the universities I'm considering going to after this have corset shops located within the cities. Then, I wouldn't have to ask. XP
But that is not ideal for me. I really, really want one, I've wanted one for years.
Hmm. Can't think of any other questions. Which is strange, because usually I come up with them as I type. XD
OH. Here we go. XP
For a first-timer, would you suggest an overbust or an underbust? Haven't decided on which one I'd like to buy; I'd love to get them both, but I'm pretty sure only one is realistic with my funds XD
This is the overbust I want
and this is the underbust
And also: have any of you gorgeous corset-wearers been met with some friction from those who are not corset-wearers? I know that when I told (err, more like they read) my friends that I wanted to get a corset, they were like, "Omglol, why? Bondage-much?" They just don't get it D:
Anyone else have these kinds of issues?
