As a special request. Fun but god, where do i start? 🤦🏻‍♀️ Next do cheaper ones but not the right colour and Agent Provocateur seem very spenny and all of my size out of stock. Anyone have any ideas?

amazon?

sofato5miles · 22/02/2022 13:08

Thank you! Now looking for a powder blue one. I had a bad experience with amazon clothing and am trying to find a recognised, decentish brand.

New world..

Bravissimo?

Is it for fun, bedroom wear or something you shall be seen in public wearing?

If the latter, I can throughly recommend https://www.vollers-corsets.com

I expected to need a custom made, instead once I learned how to lace it properly, the standard size were perfect. No bra needed and absolutely no danger of falling out or otherwise making myself a spectacle.

Enjoy.

Great tips all. Particularly like the voller rec! Never heard of them before AND they are flattering!

Could you dye a white one? - lots more options in white.

Corset-story.co.uk have fabulous things…really well made too

Are any of these useful? I've found them good although reviews are mixed, I've also found customer services helpful. Always worth looking for a discount code too.

Grrr link didn't work properly but filter down to blue and you get lots.

Have you made a decision? I'm being good and not shopping so want to live through you!Grin

sofato5miles · 23/02/2022 12:58

Not yet, almost did the 4 for 1 offer (!) At corset story but then questioned myself! I think he has more 'boudoir' in mind. I think a white one dyed blue might be my best option. I am dithering!

Hmmmm do you mean corsets or basques?

What Katy Did or Kiss Me Deadly are great for vintage style lingerie but I’m not sure about powder blue

If you decide to dye look at Rit dye who have a formulation for synthetics. They have loads of videos for dye techniques.
