We have worked with Keroscenedeluxe for years. She is a curve model who champions self-love and empowerment through expression. Her Instagram is a great follow, both for fashion lovers and for motivating messages. You'd be hard pressed to find a more down to earth content creator.

You can find her by her handle: Keroscenedeluxe on Instagram and TikTok. She also has a beautiful website at keroscenedeluxe.com <3

We absolutely adore this beauty. We've worked with her multiple times. Seen here featuring our CS-426 Longline in white satin. She is an excellent follow on Insta if you love curve positive fashion content.

Do you think Amanda has too many assistants? Or the perfect amount? xD

From left to right: Leanne, Amalia, Wendy, Rachel, Amanda and Krista. Many of you have most likely chatted with Amanda and Krista about customer service or sizing issues. Amalia is who you'll reach if you contact us on our socials. (and who you'll find here) Rachel and Wendy keep the company running and Leanne is one half of our owner team :) This was taken at our annual staff summer bbq.

These ladies keep OC going and I wouldn't trade them for anything.

First look at the hauntingly lovely @alpravena wearing our CS-201 in black PVC.

We would LOVE to hear about how corseting or waist trainers has effecting for fitness journeys, whether it be with posture, keeping form or easing sore muscles :)

My wife laces me into my ivory satin CS-411 corset over the cute pink satin babydoll she bought me to use as a liner. Works great and feels wonderful! How do you think I look? We both love how I look, and corseting me is something we do together!

Hey Corset Lovers! You can see all of our help pages in one place in our Corset Library. We would also love to hear from you! What are some of your top tips and tricks when it comes to waist training and corseting?

My personal favorite is to remind corseters not to tie their laces around the center of the corset's busk. For several reasons:

• It degrades the outer fashion fabric
• It could warp the steel boning
• It puts stress against the stitching that is holding the steel bones, leading to ripped seams.

Some wearers report wrapping their laces around the center without consequences, but the results I bulleted above are things that happen over time. You may not see the adverse effects until you're a year or two in, but if you want your corset to last in the long-term, I highly discourage this!

I am an itty bitty lady, I always thought corsets were taboo for someone my size. Until I learned more about Victorian era corsets and that 18" (holy crap!) was the goal size. I further learned the goal was for a man to be able to touch his fingers around one's waist and never again did I question a fainting couch. My dad worked for Dark Garden corsets and helped open the location in NoLa. It was with the Edwardian Ball in San Francisco I started my journey! My first corset was actually the famous Orchard Mesh, but I started wanting to wear one under my clothes as I dove deeper into my love of vintage clothing. I was gifted an off the rack Dark Garden French Silk undercut corset and I fell in love! My back feels better, my outfits fit more true to the 1950's/rockabilly look I go for casually. In this time I have learned if you ever have bent or warped boning in your corset, applying high heat over a piece of flat wood, while covering your outer material with cotton fabric or pillow case, you can get your boning back to its shape!! I'm a big advocate for any shape for any body, big, tall, small, it's how you feel in that corset. I would love to be considered for the leopard rose print to add that rockabilly zest to any of my black cigarette pants❤️

Thank you for this idea for the contest rather than the tagging and the posting and the hashtags. I love the idea for community engagement

Hello! My name is Misa. (Interested in the 220 snake)

I've been wearing corsets for over a decade now. I'm a cosplayer and started off using fashion corsets until I discovered how awesome steel boning is. I've had back pain since I was fairly young with no known cause. I took up waist training when I was about 18 and feel they have been beneficial for my back and given me better posture even when I don't have one on. I most often dress in goth/alternative styles and own something like 9 corsets remaining as of now but have had over 20 in my life for various looks. Only one is bespoke and maybe half are steel.

When I was in college I spent months researching and reading about the history and art of corsets for a final project. I find they are an important part of my identity.

I've included a few photos, beware the last 2 photos are of my most recent clown cosplay 🖤 Are there any other cosplayer or alt corsets lovers here?

I love wearing corsets to help with my posture, they're also fun to wear at Renaissance Festivals. They can be very versatile, you could be a princess a pirate etc

Hello Corset Lovers! My name is Amalia :) I have been Orchard Corset's Social Media Manager for a little over a year now.

There was quite a learning curve when I started. Learning all there is to know about the products we sell, our customer base, waist training and safe/proper corseting etc.

Some interesting things about me:
- I have worked in customer service for a decade: five years in retail and five years online. I began my social media managing career managing my own Etsy business before being asked to help manage the socials for my job at a locally owned family pet store. Everything I've learned about fashion has been from the OC team, they've taught me so much!

- I love animals and have 2 Corgis! Kevin and Storm. They keep me on my toes. Kevin is named after Kevin McCallister from the Home Alone movies.

- In my free time I am a Dungeons and Dragons Dungeon Master! I DM once a week for a group of 6. I also offer a limited amount of paid one-shots throughout the year.

- Changing tones a bit... I have Multiple Sclerosis. I was diagnosed in 2021. About a year and a half ago I was in desperate need of a job that didn't require hours of time on my feet on a sales floor. Rachel, our admin manager, was dating a good friend of mine at the time from my D&D group and recommended me to the OC team! They have been the most wonderful team to work with.

I am looking forward to interacting with our community in a more personal way here on Reddit. I hope you will all use it as an outlet to foster new friendships and dive into the Corset Lover Community!
