Do you like to shop online? Heels, dresses, tops,
anything from top to toe, you can get it online. Just a few clicks and you’ll
get your package, all in the comfort of your home. Recently, I was invited to A
Sexy Corset Party with the theme “Candy Girl” at Werner’s, Changkat. It is a
collaboration of Rarablack.com, Corset Me, and Lovely Legs.
We were given 4 coupons that can be redeemed on that
night, and another 2 where we can get discounts when doing online shopping at
Rarablack.com, and Lovely Legs. 2 for cocktails, 1 for a photoshoot session by
Studio EightyEight, and 1 for a makeover by Beverlyn Ooi. But these vouchers
can only be redeemed on that night itself tho.
Before the event starts, we were treated to some
cocktails and some snacks as well.
After a short speech by Charmaine, we were taught on
how to wear a corset, and how to maintain it by Jaycee. After that, we were
given a chance to try on the corsets and leggings, and have our photoshoot
taken right there.

Corset Me
A corset is a close-fitting piece of clothing that
has been stiffened by various means in order to shape a woman’s torso to
conform to the fashionable silhouette of the time.
How to wear a corset:
Always remember to unloosen the ties before you don
on your corset or unsnap the front studs.
If it is front big hook, then aligned the corset and
wrap around your body. The hooks are usually to be latched on from right to
left stud. Start from the second last at the bottom and work your way up then
only adjust the last hook. After that you can pull your ties at the back.
If it is the small hooks, it can be at your left
side or in the middle. Best hook up from the bottom and not hook down. Keeping
your fingers always tapered onto the edge of your corset and work your way up.
If it is zipped-up, just loosen ties and once zipped
up pull your ties at the back.
If it is just a tie-up corset then loosen the
ribbons with both the loop on either side tied in dead knot before you wiggle
top down into the corset and finish if off by pulling the ties at your back.
If your friend is tying the ties for you, ensure
that they do not tie you up too tight till you can’t breathe or that
the corset
fabric is overstretched as at a breath, you may rip the corset.
How to maintain a corset:
-
Hand wash the corset in lukewarm water
with a mild non-biological detergent.
-
Rinse thoroughly.
-
No not wring but pat dry gently with a
towel, then stretch gently to regain its original shape.
-
To dry, hang your corset horizontally
across a coat hanger or back of a chair, or lay it flat on an airer. Dry away
from direct heat otherwise your corset fabric may shrink.
-
Do not let it stay damp for too long as
that will damage the steel bones or hooks or studs.
-
If necessary, apply cool setting ironing
on the reversed side of the corset.
-
Do not risk on dry cleaning. After each
wear, allow corset to air out for a while before hanging it back to the closet.
-
Corset are best worn over another slip,
blouse, vest, top or dress to avoid having to wash it too often as that is not
recommended.
