We had been looking for a suitable fabric for some time, and after testing it throughly, we found, yes, this is the perfect one and we start taking orders now.

Measurements can of course be taken in centimeters as well as inch.

Enjoy!

Has anyone used a summer corset for tightlacing?

By summer corset, I guess I mean anything that is made of a relatively lightweight fabric and maybe has only a single layer.

I'm curious as to how well this type of corset holds up under the strain of daily tightlacing.

Thanks, redd

I have and it worked fine. I even washed it several times. My summercorset came from wasp creation.

Thanks Annalai -

Was it much more comfortable? Was it indeed cooler during the summer months?

Thanks for any information.

I don´t know about the summercorset from wasp creation, all I can say, the ones I make are much thinner and lighter then usual corsets and all my customers find then very pleasant in summer.

There really is a difference!

Hi,

Well I find it to be a different the fabric was more breatheable and only one layer so it did not trap heat like some other fabric does and easy to handwash. It only took a couple of hours to dry and still the corset was suitable for tightlacing.
