Well hello there,
I’ve been inspired by Malin James’ post and Kink of the Week to let you in to the secret world of Tabitha…
I’m corset mad – really.
A 1980s C&A original! |
I have a fairly androgynous shape I think – broad shoulders, rectangular body, flat bum – I’m not sure I felt masculine or feminine when I was younger. If you saw me from behind you might wonder if I was male or female. I often felt like a fraud in a skirt and pretty puffed sleeved top – really – these did NOT suit me. So when I was about fourteen I tried on my mother’s zip up corset top from C & A – suddenly I got it. I felt feminine. I felt pretty. And I also felt like Snow White when she got tied too tightly into a corset by the peddlar woman… the wicked stepmother! I LOVED that story – I think I read it a hundred times, poring over the beautiful pictures of Snow White swooning in ties, or golden combs or poisoned apples…
Anyway – back to the clothing! I inherited that very corset and here I am in it today…
Corsets are my one indulgence. I don’t go to the beauty parlour, or hairdresser, I still think of the shoes I bought three years ago as ‘my good new ones’.
I only wear steel boned now. I don’t have a custom made one like Malin’s but I hope to one day – though the bloomers were hand made especially for me by a friend of mine. There’s another kink – next time!
Here are some of my corsets
Green steel boned |
Red sweetheart neckline Buxom! |
Black underbust – this is my favourite corset of all |
Little red underbust This is a squeeze! Pass the smelling salts π |

They are sooooo pretty …. I wore a corset under my wedding dress and it was so comfy – but it got lost in a move ….boo hoo …..
Ah! Alison, you'll have to treat yourself x x
Those corsets are beautiful. These posts are making me really itch to get one myself π
You really must get one Karen – they feel glorious! Thank you x x
Ohhh man. Your favourite is my favourite too!
Thanks lovely – if I'm in a very naughty mood I'll pair it with a see through shirt and no brassiere π

I love the red longline corset, it wouldn't fit me as I am too short in the body but it looks beautiful on you

Thank you Molly – that post of yours with the overbust/ balcony is simply stunning though!
Corset magic huh? x x
They're beautiful, and I too am feeling the urge to get one. You and Malin have inspired me. It would be for the bedroom only though I think π
Oh Rebecca – I'm telling you, once you've corseted, you never go back! π thanks for the lovely comment x x
