Corset? - Wedding Forum

After finding out that I need to buy my undies fairly soon I have thought about buying a corset. (I think they are called Vollers Corsets)

My dress already has a corset style top to it, but I want something to give extra va-va-voom to my boobs!

Has anyone found any good corsets?

Where should I look for one?

How much are they?

Will I be able to breathe?

Voller corsets are a really good make. I have worn them lots of times before.

You need to get a good make like Voller, so that the bones in it don't bend and crease. It should be shaping you - not you shaping the corset.

As for being able to breathe......well it can take a bit of getting used to. Make sure you wear it around the house a bit before the big day. You should put it on and get someone else to tye it for you. Then you should sit down for a while. I always find it feels much tighter when sitting than standing. You may find that you need to loosen it a bit.

A corset like the one in the picture looks ideal for under a wedding dress. It will give a really lovely shape, and I am sure your h2b will think it is fantastic!

I'm getting a corset for under my dress.
I had looked at several web sites and had emailed a few asking if their corsets would fit my sizing, all of them replied with a firm no, except Vollers, who said no with the sizes I had given but go to one of their stockists and try some on.
So off I went and the lady in the shop measured me and had plenty in stock that would fit, because I had been measuring myself completely the wrong way. So I'll be going back in on Tuesday to order in my very own corset.

I'd email vollers to get the name and number of your nearest stockist and go in get them to measure you up right and try some on. It does feel very restrictive on at first ( depending how tight you first lace it up mind) but you need to wear it for a while before hand so you and the corset break each other in as it where.

The one I'm getting is £120, but if treated right it'll last a lifetime.

This is it only it'll have no lace, and will be ivory satin.

Ive got a corset and yes it does wonders for my figure, smooths out all my lumpy bits

They do take a bit of getting used to, I got mine from http://www.axfords.com/ They were very helpful and if its not right you can send it back to them.
