CORSETRY 101
Presented by Frau
Class starting at 2:10 PM EST
This class focuses on an introduction to corsetry, the anatomy of corsets, seasoning, tying (including self-tying), cinching, how to survive in a corset (doing basic tasks), safety and risks, basic techniques for turning tying into a scene, aftercare (of the human AND the corset). We will include a few reputable vendors to check out, and how to tell a quality coreset from a costume piece. This class will not dive into extreme tying or combining corsetry with rope, impact, or electric – as these are more advanced topics for seasoned corsetry wearers.
