Aww, f*ck it. I just wanna be a vampy tramp for a day or two
ebay is good for finding discount steel boned corsets.
if you want the real victorian deal, go to fallen angel fashions by brute force leather. vollers are overpriced and have bad customer service - for the same craftmanship and designs (incidentally started by two disgruntled ex-vollers employees.) go to snobz. top of the range, fairy gothmother (the lols.) is best. unless you can somehow afford mr pearl...
if you want to order online, it's really important you go to a shop that has them in meat life to try on, because each range is different and waist measurements alone aren't enough to go by.
i bought my first one when i was 14 after saving up for a long time and my second for my prom. i keep thinking i'll sell them years after because i just don't have the excuse to wear them all the time but the fact is, if i sold them, i'd never replace them, and i would miss not having them.
they don't hurt, either, they're really comfy especially once you've broken them in and they actually really help my posture when i'm having back troubles. and of course, you get to be a vampy tramp. ;p
