Thanks for doing this again, despite my better judgment and measurements I let a corset shop clerk talk m3 into a corset that was too small The back looks like the two ladies shown. I have purchased a larger corset and my modesty panel reaches. Thank You!
+Meghan M So sorry about that dear! Can you please send a photo (front & back) of you in your corset along with your complete measurements to our sizing team? We would love to help you out with that! Their email is info@orchardcorset.com Thank you!
ME TOOO i just got mine today and it was wayyyyy too small. I also used the sizing experts. My thing is they use BBW woman with flat stomachs to help do measuring videos and not someone with lust of flab or pouches. The I gave the expert 2 sizes for my natural waist and i explained one was measuring around the fat and the other pretty much between and i thought well ... logically i feel i would want the one around since its not like the corset is going between but they sad go with the smaller size.... kinda upset since we pay for returns and for shipping with signatures (they dont replace if stolen or lost) and to get it faster etc.
i am a 32 inch waist and i just ordeted a size 38-40 corset that is supposed to be for 30-31 inch. do you think that itll fit? will it be too small? im worried now.
Hi there, yes we do! A couple in fact :) Here is the review video: ruclips.net/video/gm9eiF0sLNo/видео.html And here is a short Q&A video where we talk about why you'd need to choose that style: ruclips.net/video/WNnFwa1BNmg/видео.html Thank you so much!
***** Just tried all three on! The only one I have a question about is CS-345, I have it in a size 40, and it feels so comfortable, but just on this first lacing, I am at the modesty panel with no extra inches showing like in the plus size model in the video. Should I exchange for a 38? Or is it okay?
Another GiGi I'd suggest that you send a picture of it to our sizing experts at info@orchardcorset.com. Usually on the first lacing you'd have a bit of space between the corset and the modesty panel in a 40 and I'd hate for you to spend the time and money seasoning a corset that ended up being too big.
"that would be to much, especially if you have a leaner frame", from the corset that's too small. I completely aggree with that... But why do you still recomend the same reduction even for us petite women??! I sent my measurements to you, wrote that I'm petite and not very squishy, and still got back a recomendation of size 20. I know from experience that 20 is to small for me, so I ordered 22. Still a bit too small... Can you pleeeeaaaase start recomending bigger sizes for leaner bodies? I've read several comments on Lucy's channel from women of my size having the same problem. Unfortunally I cant exchange it since I'm an international buyer (or maybe I could, but it would be way too expensive).... A size 20 on my body (27-26 1/2-35) would be waaaaay off.
+theoretically09 Hello! Would you please email our customer service team so that we can better assist you? If there is a learning opportunity here we would love to check our suggestions. Thank you and take care!
Just for reference, about how much do you weigh. I think I weigh the same and I'm not sure if I should get a 22 or 20 inch corset. I have a natural waist of about 24
+Mackenzie Joseph Weight doesn't typically have an affect on corset sizing. To be most accurate, we like to get your complete measurements (underbust, natural waist, upper hips & seated torso length) to recommend the proper fit for your figure.
I am so so so glad that you guys have videos to help us that are just starting out. Quick question, my waist is 33' (i know im huge, i have kids) under bust is 36 and hips are 42, what size should i get? I was about to order a 28, but i read i should get a 26 instead. What size should I order?
Thank you for the reply, I am more than pleased with your customer service, I JUST got an email from one of your reps Thank you for shopping Orchard Corset. I am more than happy to help you find the perfect corset for your body. Based on the measurements you gave me I would recommend a size 26 in the short or long 426, 301 or 201. She suggested the 26, based on my measurements, im torn here. I suppose I can go with that one and hope for the best. One last question, do i have to order the straps/laces (sorry im not sure what they are called) separately? Thank you once again.
nancy s Well, I'll be honest, I was on the fence about recommending a 28 or a 26 for you (as I mentioned I felt like you were borderline). Strictly based on measurements you would be a 26, but your comment about just starting out tipped the scales for me to recommend a 28. I think a deciding factor for you will be 'squishiness' ;) If you are pretty squishy, go with a 26, it might seem just a little small at first, but will likely season out just fine. If you are pretty firm and this is your first time corseting you may want to go with a 28. I'd love it if you would report back on your experience.
I went ahead and ordered the 26, Ive tried waist cinchers in the past, so I think ill be able to handle a corset, atleast I hope haha. As soon as i get it ill be sure to send a picture your way. Thanks again for everything, it was very helpful.
hmm we'd need all of your measurements before we can give you a recommendation. Please reach out to our sizing gals at info@orchardcorset.com for personalized help!
Where should the bones hit on a corset, as you mentioned for the "too small" part? I'm worried my corset might be too small even though the modest panel is exactly is how you said it should be. I don't know why but the boning just feels odd, but it could also be because since the first time I put my corset on to season it, the busk hasn't been straight down at all and is actually a bit tilted to the side, I think because the top part lifts on one side more than the other (since it's unseasoned and doesn't fit my form yet)
+LadyConqueress Are you referring to the flat back bones on either side of the laces? For most people, they feel like they line up with your shoulder blades. It's a little tricky to describe, you don't want them to be near to your sides at all, that's very uncomfortable! If you'd like to send us photos of you in your corset (front and back) we can double check the fit of it and be sure that it's a good corset for your body. You can email us at info@orchardcorset.com
***** I have a cs 201 corset because I have a short torso (despite being tall). I think I am misusing corset terms but the front doesn't seem to line up vertically and tilts to the side a bit so I am wondering if that is also a problem. I will try to take pictures and send them if I can
I was wandering I got a corset that was 24 inches and my first one I feel like I got too big I can close it with out trying too hard I just had a baby too so should I get a size 20 ?
Definitely reach out to our team! Most people only move down 1 size at a time (a 22" would be next for you) but they often need a different cut of corset as well to better suit their new shape. Our team can determine which size & style will be best for you with your measurements. Chat with them here: www.orchardcorset.com/pages/corset-sizing
what waist trainer do you recommend with these measurements ? under bust - 41 inches Small waist - 40 inches belly button area - 42 inches hips- 45 inches torso - 15 1/2 inches ? I have a vary narrow body as I'm square but want to have that perfect hour glass figure.
Can you hop on our corset sizing page? We'd like to get your squished waist measurement and make sure that you measured your torso correctly. Thank you! www.orchardcorset.com/pages/corset-sizing
Oh dear. I think my corset may be too small. I even sent my measurements to your team to make sure it was right! The modesty panel doesn't completely cover the space in between...I thought it fit fine until I saw this.
Hi Sigourney! If you could, snap a photo of you in the corset (front and back) and send it over to our team. We can check that it's a great fit for you. We are available via live chat or through email. Thank you! info@orchardcorset.com
I just got a corset today and the bottom is to lose and I can get it to tighten up and it raises up from the bottom area in the front. What am I doing wrong?😫
I recently bought the CS-411 in a 32 and I know it’s too small. There is about a a gap 4 inches past the modesty panel. Would it be better to go up to a 34 or 36?
What is your waist size? I’m curious myself cause I want to order and their experts said I should get 32 but my natural waist is 40 but I was eying the cs-411
@@addielo823 my natural waist is a 36 And a 32 was WAY too small. Then they recommended a 36 to me but it was more because I wanted a corset as a bra alternative and not for waist training. With a 40 in waist I wouldn’t go any smaller than a 36 but thats just my opinion.
So when you refer to the gap you mean the gap between the modesty panel and the other end? Right? I ask cause I have a size 22 over bust corset and the gap between the modesty panel and the other end is 3 inches. Now I have had this corset for a year or 2 but I only wear it once a year for the renaissance fair. I gained weight so was worried it wouldn't fit but it still seems to work. However I don't want to ruin it, so just checking.
Hi Angela, if it's just for fashion and you're still comfortable in it - a gap of that size in the back isn't a deal breaker. Can you send our team a photo (front and back) in the corset? They can help you out once they can see the fit on your figure. Chat with them here: www.orchardcorset.com/pages/corset-sizing
I've watched many corsets and I'm still confused about one thing. Is there a specific name or type of corset that makes ur waist smaller but not ur ribcage or hips? The one I just bought only dips in at the waist a small bit but I would love a more hourglass figure. Since it's my first corset I wasn't going for something too expensive so I got the corsetstory UK jet black classic underbust I'm pretty sure in size 6. And everything is fine but it's just that when I tighten it , it pulls everything tighter not just my waist which doesn't really give me that much of an hourglass figure. Can anyone help pls?
Hi there! It sounds like you need a corset with a wider rib and wider hip, that corset sounds like it is made for someone with less natural curve than you have. We aren't familiar with their corset dimensions, but we'd be happy to help you find the right fit with us! Just speak with our team :) www.orchardcorset.com/pages/corset-sizing

Hi Mari, we don't suggest corseting for anyone under 18. Your body is still developing and corsets can modify your body, it's another form of body modification. There are fun plastic boned fashion corsets that can give you the aesthetic without affecting your development. We always suggest to younger people interested in corsets to spend your time researching safe corseting and even the history of corsets to become a pro before you even lace up! Lucy's Corsetry is a great place to learn :)

I got my new corset, and it feels just right but why is there a bit of a gap between me and the corset at the top part in the front sides, I see that the one that is just right has the same for you too, why does it do that?
***** It's because the corset hasn't been seasoned yet. As you wear the corset it begins to mold to your body and the gapping gradually goes away. That is also the case with the one in the video, it is right off the rack and hasn't been seasoned yet.
I'm just embarking of the world of corseting and im excited i found this. very informative.
Do you think you might do a video on if a corset is too long? It may seem obvious but it could be helpful for some.
Thanks for the suggestion, Izzygirl1925! We'll keep it in mind.
Yes, I have this problem/ question.
They have 3 lengths: waspie, standard, and longline.
