What An Education It’s Been – Corset Dress

corset dressJen, we find ourselves learning a bit of a lot about the adults in our family from our children who lead a sensory life.

What an education it’s been! Known there are two things that contribute to why corsets feel so good -Shttp. Another question is. AIR, you know? As a result, can you do some Amazon recommendations? PLEASE! Basically, love the outfits, the corsets, the info! I’m sure it sounds familiar.|Doesn’t it sound familiar?|Sounds familiar?|doesn’t it? For instance, I learned the word proprioceptive. Then again, jen!

Take a glance at Damsel In This Dress! I love that almost everything has pockets -it’s so obnoxious when women’s clothing doesn’t have any or they’re o shallow to be usable. Shakti o!

Just checked out their site.

LOL I can definitely tell almost immediately when I do cheat on the gluten though. Now pay attention please. Thanks for replying! AND POCKETS! Nevertheless, although cheese doesn’t is a real poser, dairy is a trigger for me o -I drink almond milk almost exclusively now, so go figure. Ah. Oh well fooey then. My daughter and I HATE clothes shopping and these dresses look great.

Jen, I have a question. Sorry! You experience leg cramps when you have your period, right? Of course, does the corset, by alleviating your belly cramps, does it also alleviate leg cramps, if so. I’m no help to you on this one, piper P from Washington State Leg cramps are amidst the few things I don’t get. As a result, anyone else care to weigh in? Not only does my tummy cramp, my lower back aches and my thighs feel like they’re going to collapse.

Different sizes, motherhood Maternity and they have belly belts that are similar to that.

Might be something to try on lighter days. Therefore, although in my opinion your outfits are all adorable) I was going to comment and ask if you had tried a back brace type belt. Several coworkers wear them for support and since they are Velcro they are easier to hide under clothes than lacing ties. I’ve met you IRL, and I don’t remember you not looking thin. Now let me tell you something. It wouldn’t be as bulky/noticeable if you didn’t want it to. You should take this seriously. It goes from your lower back around to lower stomach and later can pull the sides tighter. Usually, plus easily adjustable or removable. Anyway, it’s basically just a giant piece of elastic but everyone always loved it when I recommended it.

Several coworkers wear them for support and since they are Velcro they are easier to hide under clothes than lacing ties. Plus easily adjustable or removable. Generally, actually I thought you were just lovelyDe I know the real issue with the lace bulk in the back. Usually, that keeps it fairly unbulky. Therefore, i’ve met you IRL, and I don’t remember you not looking thin. Did you hear about something like this before? It’s been sitting in the closet for ages. Thanks for reminding me about my corset! I’m sure it sounds familiar.|Doesn’t it sound familiar?|Sounds familiar?|does it not? Since I am now regularly working out and especially training my back muscles I reckon it might be safe again to wear it.

Hi there.

I’m very glad to have all this info, one of these days I’d love a nice practical corset. Also, I loved seeing you ) That emerald dress is my favorite of all those looks! With sounding risk patronising or maybe preachy, can I suggest that you don’t wrap your laces around your waist -this rubs on the fabric of your corset and your corset will not last as long as it otherwise would. Thank you! I personally like the way you wrapped the corset ties around I’d likely do that too, or just let them dangle.

Oh, you flatterer! Since that’s where I got all the ones I’m wearing in this post, ross is great for simple dresses. Since I’m the few girls who doesn’t enjoy clothes shopping, plenty of my clothes are beyond ancient. Good to know! Now I need to go to Ross for a lunchtime fashion blitz.

Love the greenish and grey dress.

Though, there’s no need for anything thin liners, since the ablation I don’t really bleed. Have you thought of lacing up in front and swivelling the corset round? Regarding the heat issue, keep in mind I don’t leave the house much, and also have a thyroid conditionD in the A/C, it’s fine, and if you wear it over a dress that’s only one extra layer around your torso. Having a liner under it definitely cancels out the cooling factor, the mesh corset breathes more. Its just like a corset but very unattractive so I have gone back to corsets worn over and under my clothes. That is what I do and it means you dont have to contort yourself. Fact, the doctor said get a support belt and guess what! Thankfully for me my days of menstrual pain are behind me but I entirely empathise. Though, and going from one cool place to another, it’s no problem, if you’re just out running errands. I don’t recall it helping with the pain -it was just a lot better than pads or tampons, diva cup before my endometrial ablation. Now regarding the aforementioned fact. Sooo, yeah, corsets outdoors in FL are definitely not my first choice.

Now I see that ) you already knew about them, hooray! Definitely glad your corsets are helpful where you do need something, though! Lucky you!

Have you thought about trying the corsets with the heavy duty zipper in hooks place and eyes to help with the desire to be able to remove it quickly?

Much love! We’ll see how it turns out, christmas Carol and I’ll get to wear a corset in it! Rock your corsets! Despite being underbust corsets that are the appropriate length for my rso and taking care not to lace o tight I always feel like my chest is making an attempt to creep up and smoother me. Oh my goodness, Jen, how you manage to look adorable in every single outfit you own astounds me.

Regarding your colors, do you know about finding your undertones? Cute outfits though! You look best in cool colors, blackish, greyish, purplish, blueish, if you see blue. Bluish, you are neutral and look good in both, if you see greenish. You have warm undertones, and look best in warm colors, light yellow, orange, greenish, even white, if you look at your wrist and your veins are a greenish color.

Random latching on to the last bit here -they don’t make as many light green clothes as they do of other colors because greenish dye was poisonous to seamstresses in the 1800’s, and as such there’s still a superstition against using light green in fashion among seamstresses.

Whenever attempting to teach 6 year olds all day and dealing with lady issues is rough) Your post on proper bra wearing changed my life, corsets might be next on my list. There’s some really excellent articles about it actually if you want to nerd out on some fashion history. Some information can be found easily by going on the web. Jen thank you for always being so open and sharing your experiences with us!

Orchard Corsets! The last time I was in NYC, I shopped there and finally got some bras that actually fit properly. OC is owned by a husband and wife team, both Orthodox Jews. For example, they’re still largely made on site. The business has been handed down through a couple of generations now, and it’s in some renown as a place you can walk into and they can size you for a bra just by looking at you. Every couple of years, the New York Times does a ‘writeup’ on them, and they’re always a fun read. Notice, maybe clothes will follow? They also do mail order. This is the case. Once we’re out of the 70’s? Green at least seems to be coming back for household goods/decor, I reckon.

In times before modern chemicals, greenish dye was ‘fixed’ with arsenic.

Green is still the more difficult colors to keep pure, even with modern technology. It can be faggotted on by hand or sew on by machine between the boning. Send it to me and I will do it for you. Jen -since your dark brown corset is a little large at the p and bottom, have you tried sewing some slightly stretched elastic around the p and bottom in order to snug it up? The arsenic was released and people were poisoned, when fabric got damp or wet. It is one of my favorite color o! It can pull up a lot of the excess without adding bulk.

Thanks for posting this! This is definitely helpful for a newbie like me. You look mighty lovely in your grey corset! Since a few years back we would not have had even a glimpse of that, lOVE all your outfits. How fantastic you look and how amazed I am for you to post all those selfies. Keep reading. I hope to soon! Furthermore, you have any recommendations for seasoning a corset, right? That said, thanks! You always know how to explain things simply and clearly.

Hm, I haven’t noticed anything like that.

Maybe my beginning marriage wouldn’t have been so awful, Wish I’d thought to try a corset back then. Oh wow how I WISH I’d known about this 4 years ago when I got married and my life become birth control induced menstruation hell. With that said, never thought about that, thanks for the hint! Now I don’t really have periods and I absolutely refuse to change anything because, damn it, a period that lasts more than half a year is all I can take! I tried a Depo shot, which lasts 3 months. That’s right! Coincidentally, that is how long my period lasted. Nonetheless, my doctor talked me into getting a IUD even though I had major misgivings.

HUGE difference. Is it just me, or does John’s favorite outfit look like you are Disney bounding as Esmeralda from Notre Hunchback Dame? In addition to looking just lovely in those outfits, you have THE most magnificent head of hair, not for nothing. Every time you post a picture of yourself, I am absolutely faint with the envy. You look lovely in person!

Then my doctor and I decided that it was time just to take the painful things out.

Jen! So, dissenting opinions are great, but personal attacks or hateful remarks will be removed, please be respectful when commenting. Oftentimes nOT fun. Here’s your html cheat sheet. Including a link?

Ok, so I have checked my corset for any sort of abrasion and I found none so ever.

The corset isn’t moving with the twisting so the laces stay put once tied around. If one would pull on the laces to tighten the corset while having the lace wrapped around oneself that would cause some destruction to the fabric so I wouldn’t suggest that -but I guess that’s kind of obvious anyway.

Ha, just yesterday I decided to start wearing my corset again after having it in the closet for over a year.

I don’t have the loathing ward the heat that all you natives seem to have, I’m from the north and I love being warm instead of freezing all along. I’m the crazy one who commented on your first post about wearing my corset to Disney in the summer. Thanks for putting yourself out there and I feel better knowing that there’s at least one other corset wearer in Orlando. There’s no way I’m going to spend
