Step 1:
For a perfect corset fitting, lace corset at the back with the
LOOP at the waist. Gradually and slowly pull loops so
corset begins to fit around the body.
Tighten loops and form a secure bow. Corsets can be tightened again 10-15 minutes (this allows your body to adjust to the corset shape and the corset material to become more flexible with body temperature) insuring a tighter fit. All corsets will reduce your body waist by 4". Please measure your normal waist e.g 28" subtract 4" = 24". This is your ideal corset size.
