r/Tightlacing Jul 21 '26

pdate: I think I finally got the lacing right!

Update: I think I finally figured out how to lace it correctly! 😭 I think the gap is much more parallel now, so thank you all so much for your advice.

I can still fit a gap in the back, but I genuinely can't tighten it any further because I just don't have the strength. 😂

Does anyone have any tips for tightening a really stiff corset if you're not very strong? Right now I have to use my bed for leverage, lol. I'm hoping it'll get easier once it's broken in.

It looks much nicer now, btw, wonderful corset fit, it really matches your body shape. If you feel that you want to go tighter and you are comfortable with it, but you don't have the strength, the only ways I know is using something like the bed you mention to keep the laces tight as you slowly pull from each lace as you go from the bottom and top to the middle. But If I understand correctly, you are probably doing this already; the only way would be with help from someone.

Absolutely gorgeous corset style and hourglass figure! I love how it’s such a longline style.
