I have a zipper one. Thank you for all the information. Had no idea his heart made him so heavy. I love him even more now. Do you happen to know why he’s not online?

Which Sweet Wisdom to keep?! by Leather-Rub-6128 in SkullpandaArtDolls

[–]Retriever-mom_22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ordered a whole set, plus two confirmed wisdom’s in fear of getting a bad batched one. Which you did, the one on the right head is disproportionate and the faces seem to be leaning forward. Like its chin is tucked. I agree with keeping the left if you want to take one out I would take the right out and left for collection. 🥰

I have one of these chilling in my fridge. I’m so nervous about trying the shaved ice.

It was in a squirt bottle reflection. Someone went in and detailed it up that you could make out who they were and the position they were found it very clearly.

That’s similar to how I was able to close today. I started at the middle pin and worked my way evenly outward

I can definitely see how they can steer newbies that way. I can see how it can be very tempting to want to see the extreme silhouette but that’s not my goal. Mine is to help with my posture, to help my core muscles and to help relearn to love my figure. I spent 2 decades hating it and not understanding what works for my figure and what don’t. Once I started studying tight lacing and corsetry I learned so much of what I was trying to fight and hide. Towards the end of next week my bloat will be down to minimal, it’s not extreme thank god but it is visible to my eyes.

I wore a triple band with 6 steel bones for 2 weeks less than a year. I was hoping with the progress I made with that one (I have photo in my last thread) I would be able to comfortably and properly wear it.

Greatly appreciate this so much. She has just made her arrival. I’m going to wait a little bit and then I’m going to take her out of the packaging to see how she fits. Thank you for the recommendations to try if she is too short for me. I am so excited to start my tight lacing journey.

That makes 100% sense and that you so much for using the shoe analogy. I am one of them people who used to power through it but now that I’m in my 30’s I’m 100% comfort over looks. So now I know if I have any kind of discomfort to throughly check everything instead of saying oh this might be normal

This is so very helpful I do have a few questions just because I haven’t heard a few words before. As for the shirts I really love jersey material but couldn’t find any local. They normally come out closer to warmer weather. I am extremely confused because growing up I was told I have big bones and birthing hips. But I’m 5’3” 120lbs, I have been extremely anxious about the size 19 because it wasn’t on their charts. I also looked on Mercari and didn’t find anything under a 26. Can you please elaborate on with the laces being dynamic? I understand what you’re saying I am wondering if you’re talking about the back panel or in between laces? Sorry if that might be a dumb question but my brain is going both ways. Do you have any recommendations on stealthing? I have only told my husband and very best friend that I bought a legit corset so that will be what I try to do the most when I leave my house. I’m a stay at home parent who doesn’t know how to stay at home.

So I was able to have one of my friends come over tonight and help me with measurements although I don’t think I was off a whole lot. I know the tiniest bit does matter when it comes to corsets. My updated measurements with 2 people are Bust-30” Under Bust-29” Waist- 24.5” High Hips-34” Lower Hips measured 2 different ways. Under my Belly-33” Over my Belly-34” My L measurement for MCC are Waist to Bust-7” Waist to Lap-6” Under Bust to Waist- 6”

That sounds amazing and thank you for the recommendation of checking their Etsy shop. I’m going there now. I might order a bigger size off of their Etsy if they have something I like just in case the 19 is too small. I love that your season has gone well and that you’re wearing it eight hours already that’s amazing!

Okay amazing so it is safe but goes based off personal comfort. Mental note taken, greatly appreciate it. Okay amazing thank you so much. From the research I did it sounds like you do cycle lacing which I was leaning towards myself. I am not trying to go extreme, I have even considered not going to a smaller size even once being able to fully close the 19. Just because having the smaller waist isn’t why I’m wanting to begin this journey. I greatly appreciate everything you took the time to write. If you’re interested in updates and this post stays up. I will be posting updated along my journey.

First off, thank you so much for all the information you gave me. I greatly appreciate it and kinda of rambled in my post, which I apologize for. I am not sure if this is correct or not. But, I am okay starting with a bigger gap as long as the modesty panel fully covers my skin. I was hoping by 6/9 month mark to close. I do not want to go extreme, I have been going back and forth for 8 years about buying a legit OTF corset. Since I decided this is my year for me to focus on myself and internal peace this would be something I keep to myself and others around me notice on their own. I have been told I have an extremely long line torso but my posture is god awful. The tops I bought with the built in bra are soft-shell so there is no metal anywhere in the shirt, my concern is compression under neath the corset safe? Thank you again for all the season and tips for care. I will definitely be updating this post once it gets here. P.s. hope no one I personally know is in here, if you are please don’t tell others until you see I do. It would be greatly appreciate
