FAQ Part 20


Dear Cathie,

The Bahamas pictures are delightful. Loved the white corset - you look extraordinary! Shame there are not more of pictures of you in that. Regards.

Just to let you know we do appreciate your taking time to comment. We will let Sjef know you enjoy his efforts. He spends a lot of time and effort creating and maintaining the website.

Dear Cathie,

Thank you for this. I am somewhat concerned that, particularly in the photo's of the white corset, there is no sign of that smile - indeed you look rather tired and even anxious. I hope you are well, taking care of yourself, and still enjoying posing for these pictures.

The picture in the white corset was taken the day after we arrived in the Bahamas and I was a bit weary. I am well rested now. We are enjoying ourselves on Man-O-War Cay and fish offshore at every opportunity. We have been quite successful--lots of fish to eat and even a Blue Marlin the other day which we released after taking pictures.
The "bathing suit" pictures were taken when a Swedish TV Production company came here to film a documentary of me. They were fun young people--an interviewer and photographer. Needless to say they were delighted to be away from the Swedish winter for a short while. We took them on the boat, went to the beach and out to eat and drink in the evening.
Thanks for your concern.

I look forward to new galleries, 22 is wonderful too, just love the white corset with the dark dots: really emphasizes your waist. Staylace has an article on under belts, would you care to comment on your own experiance, or if you feel they may be of benefit to me as my Cs tend to cut into my waist, could shoulder straps and garters may stop this movement /compression Thanks.

Dear Cathie

I need Help. I would like to have a smaller waistline. Not a 15-but an 18-20. Could you suggest which corset to get? I am a 40c-waist-38-hips-wide back and only 5 ft tall. Please let me know where to buy a corset in my area or where I can purchase one. Desperate with large waist.

I need more details. I am much better on the phone than mail. Feel free to call me. We are away but can be reached after five or so Eastern Standard Time.

Hi Cathie,

I always enjoy looking at your galleries on your trips. In your last gallery 22, I saw your white dotted corset. It looked nice. Is it new?
It looks like it fits you perfect, more than your other corsets, just my opinion. I have written before about progressive lacing from the back from when you put the corset on until it is finally closed.
You said to write back to remind you so I have. Best regards.


Yes, it is new--made by Melanie @ Lace Embrace Atelier using fabric which I provided. I think it will be a good fit but since we are on our boat staying warm and fishing in the Bahamas I have only tried it on once or twice.

Hello Mrs. Cathy,

I am absolutely impressed of your waist that I can't even type. I really do congratulate you for it. I know it took you lots of years, discipline, will power and more. However, I would like to know what will happen if you begin waist trainig, achieve your goal and then you become pregnant. Will it be possible to go back to your original shape and size? Sincerely, Tirhana.


Dear Tirhana,
Thank you for your note. I cannot answer your question from personal experience as I did not start tight lacing untill my children were grown but I did have three normal full term pregnancies with one vaginal delivery and two C-sections. The accounts I have read of Queen Elizabeth (Cissy} of Austria indicate that she had three or four pregnancies and resumed tight lacing after each. She was quite famous so I'm sure you can find an account of her experience.
Keep in touch.
Cathie
