Rigidity
by classicrockchick @ 16 Feb. 2008 - 15:26:35

I haven't had enough time today to get started, so I've done some research on the net instead.

I found a few interesting sites.

This one gives a quite detailed description, of how corsets are made, and the history and 'uses' of corsets.

This one is a UK site selling all the supplies needed to make corsets (boning, stays, and busks etc).

And another supplies site.

So having looked around and found sites that sell the metal boning, I think I might go for that instead of the bendy nylon, because it gives much more rigidity to the corset. That's how I think a corset should be.

spiral boning

The more rigid the better ;D

The one in the photo allows for some sideways movement (for more comfort), whilst giving vertical rigidity. Perfect.

I like the corsets with stronger boning:) My fully steel boned one is my favorite :yes: They seem to fit and feel much better!!

There's some pleasure to be gained I think from wearing a fully rigid corset, rather than one that just looks like a corset :yes:

Sounds sound to me! :yes:

"One can't beat vertical rigidity" is my latest philosophy! :yes:

Of course.

Although a man's one looks more like a straight jacket lol.

You could try a women's one.............

I think a straight jacket is just what I need :P

You know I could put on a womans one upside down . . that might fit :))
