Here is some good information on wearing and caring for your corset

Our corsets are designed and constructed to withstand the stresses associated with tight lacing. Wether or not waist training is your goal, our corsets are made to hold up to the daily wear that is part of that rigid lifestyle. with proper care your corset will last you and serve you well.

Before Wearing Your Corset: treating your corset with "scotch guard" or some other fabric protector is a wise precaution. This may allow you to brush off some small spills easily. Wearing a thin "under corset garment" between your body and your corset is also a good idea. A slip or chemise, or a bathing suit lining (purchased from a local seamstress) in a tube shape that fits under your corset will protect it from sweat and skin oils, making cleaning less necessary.

Lacing Up Your Corset: Start by loosening the back laces enough to easily wrap the corset around you. Fasten the busk in the center front first by hooking shut the waist area, then by hooking closed the remaining busks. Start pulling the lacing snug from the top first and then from the bottom, taking up the excess lace into the "lace loops" at the waist/center of the corset. Keep in mind that your corset is designed to reduce your waist and sculpt you above and below. You do not want to drastically reduce your ribs or your hips, as this will cause discomfort and can cause possible health problems.Men who wear corsets should bear in mind that it is even MORE important that they tight lace GRADUALLY. Remember womens bodys, beacause they are designed for childbearing, acclimate themselves to the movement and repositioning of organs far more readily than mens. no one should attempt to do to much in a short period of time, Take your time and tighten evenly and accuratly. The end result of lacing should be even laces all the way up and down. Not only is this more comforatable but it prolongs the life of the corset stays. After you have your corset partially tightened around your waist , stretch your arms into the air and wriggle your whole body. This settles the garment snuglyaround your waist and expidites the tightening proccess. Once you are snugly corseted, tie off the "lace loops" at the waist in a simple shoestring knot. GIVE YOUR BODY AND YOUR CORSET A LITTLE TIME TO ADJUST BEFORE TRYING TO LACE TIGHTER, CORSETING TAKES TIME AND PATIENCE.

After Wearing Your Corset: NEVER OPEN the front busks of your corset while tightly laced. Always loosen the lacing at the back of your corset before trying to open the busks at the center. Failure to loosen enough will cause undue stress and could result in a broken or bent busk. Take your time and unlace slowly. Unfasten the busk in the same manner which you fastened it, startingat the waist area and unclasping the easier top and bottom busks last. To prepare your corset for its next wearing, take a damp cloth to the lining and brush off any surface body oils or perspiration. Iar out your corset in a cool open space. never roll up your corset between wearings.

Cleaning Your Corset: Quality corsets are construnted with flxible steel boning. Dry cleaning only, is reccomended, as water may cause steel to rust. if you must wash your corset yourself, wash by hand in cold water using lingerie soap. You may use a soft toothbrush to remove stains. Towel dry the corset and allow it to hang to dry. use a plastic hanger.
