[@dyetoinkandothercreativeno4927]

Great idea. I love that you take so much guess work out of getting and owning a corset.

[@orchardcorset]

Thank you, you are very helpful as to the care and wearing of my corset. I hope you don't mind I am male, if you do I will refrain from comments and just watch. Thank you again

no problem with that, lots of males used to wear corsets in the past ad some males still wear corsets today. personally, i think corsets are beautiful no matter who is wearing them, so lace on!

[@HobokenHam]

Thanks. When you bring your corset to the dry cleaners would you leave the laces on or detach them?

Question ... Why do the closets get shipping rolled up tightly... If I can't storage the em in my drawer

[@orchardcorset]

Keeps them safe for travel..and they are not shoved in among other items. It is how you would travel with one as well. The hanger not only keeps the corset free from damage..but allows the fabric to air out and breathe between wearings.

what happen if you buy a second hand corset how do you clean or treat that?

[@michelegmitrowski4441]

If someone was wearing your corsets and started losing weight should they need to replace their corset and how often?

[@orchardcorset]

Hi Robin, That depends on how much weight! Once you can fully close a corset and wear comfortably, it is time to size down.

Hi i have the steelbone corset its great but somehow the corset is very wrinkled especially at the top part of the,corset and it leaves a sort of open space when im wearing it. How can i fix this and im a man by the way.😊

[@orchardcorset]

Hi there! Reach out to our sizing team, we just need your natural measurements and if you can snap photos of you in the corset (front & back) we can see what's going on. It could just be that the corset needs to be broken in to your body, but it could also mean that you are in a style that's not the right shape for your figure. www.orchardcorset.com/pages/corset-sizing

Josephine Dickens you're welcome!

I'm looking to get a corset someday. If I wash it, I'll hand wash it. That won't be like a washer.

[@orchardcorset]

Hi Aleksandra, washing a corset by hand can still contribute to rusting at the grommets. Those aren't made of stainless steel and repeatedly getting them wet could cause them to rust. Hanging your corset between wears, wearing a liner and dry cleaning it will help to keep a corset in good shape for many years!
