2. Setup and Wearing Instructions
Follow these steps to properly wear and adjust your overbust corset:
- Unlace the Back: Before putting on the corset, loosen the lacing at the back significantly. This will allow for easier fitting.
- Open the Side Zipper: Locate the zipper on the side of the corset and fully open it. This is your primary entry point.
- Position the Corset: Wrap the corset around your torso, ensuring the side zipper is aligned and the lacing is at your back.
- Close the Zipper: Carefully close the side zipper. If it feels too tight, loosen the back lacing further.
- Tighten the Lacing: Starting from the top and bottom, gradually pull the lacing tighter towards the middle. Adjust evenly to achieve your desired level of waist training and comfort. Do not over-tighten, as this can cause discomfort or damage to the garment.
- Secure the Lacing: Once adjusted, tie the laces securely in a bow or knot at the back.

3. Operating and Adjustment
The corset is designed for light control and shaping. The primary method of adjustment is through the back lacing. The side zipper provides convenience for putting on and taking off the garment.
Adjusting for Comfort:

- For a more pronounced waist training effect, gradually tighten the lacing over time. Avoid sudden or extreme tightening.
