Well hello there,
I've been inspired by
Malin James' post and
Kink of the Week to let you in to the secret world of Tabitha...
I'm corset mad - really.
|
A 1980s C&A original! |
I have a fairly androgynous shape I think - broad shoulders, rectangular body, flat bum - I'm not sure I felt masculine or feminine when I was younger. If you saw me from behind you might wonder if I was male or female. I often felt like a fraud in a skirt and pretty puffed sleeved top - really - these did NOT suit me. So when I was about fourteen I tried on my mother's zip up corset top from C & A - suddenly I got it. I felt feminine. I felt pretty. And I also felt like Snow White when she got tied too tightly into a corset by the peddlar woman... the wicked stepmother! I LOVED that story - I think I read it a hundred times, poring over the beautiful pictures of Snow White swooning in ties, or golden combs or poisoned apples...
Anyway - back to the clothing! I inherited that very corset and here I am in it today...
Corsets are my one indulgence. I don't go to the beauty parlour, or hairdresser, I still think of the shoes I bought three years ago as 'my good new ones'.
I only wear steel boned now. I don't have a custom made one like Malin's but I hope to one day - though the bloomers were hand made especially for me by a friend of mine. There's another kink - next time!
Here are some of my corsets

I love the red longline corset, it wouldn't fit me as I am too short in the body but it looks beautiful on you

Thank you Molly - that post of yours with the overbust/ balcony is simply stunning though!
DeleteCorset magic huh? x x
They're beautiful, and I too am feeling the urge to get one. You and Malin have inspired me. It would be for the bedroom only though I think ;)
ReplyDeleteOh Rebecca - I'm telling you, once you've corseted, you never go back! :D thanks for the lovely comment x x
