Tip of the Week - Ditch the Corset

May 19, 2014 0 comments
With the resurgence of this trend this Maven felt the need to address this with a tip of the week. There is a reason why corset went out of style. They are a health hazard! We all want our waists to look snatched but not at the expense of broken ribs and squeezed organs.


Something is wrong with this picture

For me personally, I like to be free! I don't like to be constricted for too long. I even get aggravated when I have to wear spanx for too long. lol! So I am definitely NOT going to be wearing a corset. Besides this look unnatural.
 
No one's waist should be this small!
However, if you do like the corset look there are alternatives to cinching up. Here are my top 3.

1. A Fashion Corset

There is nothing wrong with wearing one from time to time as a cute top. Just don't cinch it so tight that you can't breathe! If you like the one above, click the pick to purchase!

2. Shapewear

This included control top panty hose for minimal cinching to Spanx. The materials are just spandex, lycra and nylon. They don't have those pesky bones in them, there are no strings to pull it tighter and they do the job just as well without rearranging your insides. Its little work to get one but it is super easy to get off. So you  can breathe faster. lol.

Barenecessities.com has a great selection of shapewear and I have used them personally (as with all the things I recommend). For those fashionistas who like going to actual stores my favs are MaidenForm and
L'eggs Hanes Bali Playtex. These brands have their own physical locations, outlets and are sold in retail shops. They are also sold online!

3. Bustiers

Why not try a bustier instead? There are not strings to pull and its way more comfortable than a corset. Plus your insides will thank you. If you like the one above, click the pick to purchase!

Summary Tip: Ditch the corset and be free!
