Hello Cathie,
You have a great corset body it looks very nice. I have a few questions about corsets because my girlfriend will be a corsetwearer too. How long you can wear a corset at beginning the progress? Does it hurt? Can you do sports with a corset?
The most important issue when wearing a corset is the fit--it is imperative to have a corset custom made and do not try to have too much reduction in site. You must decrease your waist size gradually. The change in silhouette will gve the appearance of a great reduction while the actual waist size may change very little. This intial corset should not be painful. When you are totally comfortable with this first corset and can wear it closed (I wear mine 24/7--just taking it off long enough to shower) order a new corset approximately two inches smaller. Start the same procedure again. It will progress more quickly at first and then slow downafter a corset or two.
I do not work out or play sports but there should be no reason not to if you don't lace too tightly. Once you've moved to a smaller corset you can save the "old" one to wear when plaing sports. We have a small sport fishing boat and go off shore deep fishing. I have no problem working on the boat and reeling in fish, etc.
If you want any more suggestions don't hesitate to contact me by e-mail.
Good Luck
Cathie
Hi Cathie,
Just when I think I thought I have seen all the pictures of your beautiful hourglass figure, you post even better ones! I am referring to the ones headed - Cathie in Nashville Tennessee, September 2005 Gallery 17. You are a definite showstopper in those corsets and will never lose you title as the Queen of Corsets.
However I am curios about 2 items. I think I noticed both items in earlier pictures but did not pay much attention so forgive me if I should have noticed before.
1. On both corsets in the lower pictures of gallery 17, you had 6 or more garter straps? Do most of your corsets have 6 or more garter straps? Do you have any preference as to how many you might use? Or is the number something Bob likes and you do for him?
2. the gold collar/necklace again in the lower 2 pictures. In one sense, the blue[?] jewel in front makes it look like a piece of jewelry. But the width gives it the appearance of a collar. So which is it?
If a collar, is it locking? And is lock visible meaning it can only be worn on limited occasions and has to be hidden by your long hair?
Whatever you are doing to look so young, keep doing it! In one writeup, Bob referred to your girlish figure and I have to heartedly agree!
As for garters. I prefer three pairs for security of stockings and keeping them smooth and straight. I may have four pairs on some corsets but beyond that we don't find any great attaction for more.
Re the neck piece/collar: it is silver and the stone is a blue topaz.. The back does fasten with a silver lock and is hidden under my hair. There is a picture of the back (I believe in gallery 4) showing the fastening.
It was nice hearing from you again. Bob sends regards.

Cathie,
Thanks so much for sharing your corseting experience on your website. As you've heard a million, times, you're an inspiration and show what perseverance can do.
I do have a question. I'm a 60-year-old male, 6'2" and 190 lbs. Over the past two years I've corseted down from 32 inches to about 26 inches (uncorsetted). Some residual fat and a bit of skin is in the way of 24-25 inches, probably my limit.
Do you have any suggestions as to ways to get rid of stubborn fat and excess skin in that area? I wear a corset tighter at night and then loosen it up 1-2" for daytime activities.
I do put on lotion, of course. But reduction is partly loss of fat/skin and partly organ relocation. The former is my focus now.
Best wishes and continued success.
I think the fat dissipates over time. As for the "extra" skin, unless you are interested in having it removed by plastic surgery (I have not) the alternative is to try to pull it up or down while lacing. I don't know if I have been of help but I do know what you mean.
Cathie
Cathie,
Thanks for getting back on this. As for "dissipating over time", how can that process be assisted? Is it the pressure and contact from corseting over time? Is it the extra heat brought on by the corset surround? Since "spot reducing"supposedly doesn't work, there must be something extra involved. You obviously are carrying very little subcutaneous fat around your midsection.
There are a few topical products used by physique athletes that based on my limited experience MAY help. Any comments? Have you tried any?
Best wishes.
That has never been an issue for me. I think that pressure rather than heat is responsible.I am not aware of ny creams that work but from reading, etc understand that liposuction might be an option, particularly if you live in an urban area.
Cathie
