Lacing technique: inverted "bunny ears" | Lucy's Corsetry

[@joyfulmccormick483]

Awesome video! I re-lace all the corsets to the inverted bunny ears, but was constantly fighting with one side getting longer. The trick about putting a slip knot in the middle will be a real time-saver! Thank you! And love the trick with marking the waist with the colored tape.

[@Kouin]

I'm really liking all these videos about the lacing. It's cool to think there are so many ways to do it to get cool-looking laces, especially for the more fancy corsets you'd want to show off outside your clothes.

[@ilovefluffysheep]

i love it how you show us in Fast motion you actually lacing it, instead of skipping it to when you've finished it makes things more clear! nice corset by the way! :)

[@w00dness]

I watched this months ago but finally decided to relace. I always had a weird space where my bunny ears were and now with the inverted laces it feels so much better! This is the perfect lacing technique! Thank you!!

[@caramelknowledge6906]

I just found this channel and I am SOOOOOOOO grateful for all your tips and techniques. This one is going to be a game changer.

[@AafkeArt]

This is my favorite lacing method, when I first tried this on my first corset if felt a lot better, it feels so much better than the method when you have a gap between the bunny-ears!

[@Littleboyblue93]

I've had my corset for a few months now and have seen this video over 4 times. I just now decided to change up my lacing and I can't remember why I didn't do this sooner. It's so much easier and actually makes my corset more comfortable. Thank you Lucy for the tip!

[@andreanareed2256]

I would not have a corset if you were not your awesomely informative self! Thank you so much!

[@Stormvoel8]

Thank you so much for posting this video. I have a couple of corsets that tend to gap at the waist because the grommets aren't as close together as I would have liked, and this lacing method makes all the difference. Gotta remember, though: unlike with regular bunny ears, pulling the top laces will tighten the bottom, and pulling the bottom laces will tighten the top :-)

[@emirror]

I had mine in regular bunny ears, and was disappointed with how loose it would be at the loops. I was already laced in for the day, but got out, relaced my strings this way, and got back in. This is fantastic! It's so much easier to get it tightened and tied off! Thanks so much! PS - I love your hair! I'm growing mine out to tailbone, and yours is inspiring. :)

[@BT-vh4lz]

Lucy you are a walking corset wiki. I tried your tutorial and you made it super easy to follow

[@Suz_408]

I would be so lost without this video. I have to watch it every time I re-lace. Thank you, Lucy!!

[@LucysCorsetry]

I'm so glad you find it helpful! :)

[@loftgoddess]

Thanks for the tutorial! I'm wearing mine right now :) So easy to tighten and tie myself- I'm glad I found this tutorial, it's the only lacing method I've tried and I really like it.

[@hiriv]

It's just great ! It's the best lacing technique I've tried. Thank you for sharing it.

[@HiNinqi]

Yessss! Thank you! This just changed the game for me. Ive had a size 20 (usually a 22 in off the rack corsets) corset that was made for me, and I couldn't ever close it and it always felt a little off. Now that I've replaced it, it closes more smoothly and without strain, and my corset feels soooo incredible on my back now. Triple win!

[@cryptfly]

I was grabbing this video to send to a friend but I just wanted to say.....look at this baby faced Lucy!

[@LucysCorsetry]

cryptfly hahahaha, this video is so old and I cringe every time I come across it - but I’m glad to know that it’s still useful!

[@yalarosae]

@@LucysCorsetry Yes it absolutely is! I refer back to it each time I get a new corset 🖤

[@bradleydb9]

Great tutorial. Now I have "properly" laced corsets! Thank you so much.

[@leahkitsune4648]

Just relaced my corset and I'm so excited to lace up tomorrow!!!

[@donoghuemd]

Thanks for your advice on this one. I put my first corset on with it laced the way it came and it seemed fine for me for now. I can certainly see how it would be beneficial when aiming for a greater reduction and I'll likely be giving it a try once my corset feels fully seasoned and I start increasing my reduction.

[@kimikostallard4212]

Thank you SO much for this tutorial! I cannot thank you enough! I've been wondering if there was a way to remedy that little "bulge" of extra material there at the laces, and keep the laces tight while tying off in a bow!

[@MadmanPanda]

Thank you so much! I'm trying the top grommet, and I like the way it fits. I also laced using the inverted "bunny ears" method and it fits a lot better. Once again, thanks! :)

[@jeffreegonzalez508]

Could I request a remake of this video I love this lacing tecnique and this videos quality (imagewise not content) is slightly lacking. Huge fan!!

[@nissoshukurova4613]

Hi Lucy! I was struggling with my whole corseting experience because I would have constant lower back pinching.. and I wasn't all too comfortable (so I'd loosen up the laces but for waist training I'd have to tighten them at some point!). So I took your advice and relaced it from bidirectional to inverted bunny ears. I also made the waist lower (because that's where the tape is!) And OMG OMG the pinching is gone and I feel so so comfortable now! I can breathe just fine and go for longer hours with the corset on. Thanks so so much for this extremely helpful video, Lucy!

[@LucysCorsetry]

Yay!! I'm so glad it helped and you're more comfortable now!

[@DesiDiva24]

This technique is a godsend!!! Thanks Lucy for posting this...you've been a great help!!! Cheers! xxx

[@Milkymommy09]

How is do you have your corset placed on the ground? Is it facing up or down?

[@yalarosae]

I just relaced like this, and I swear, my corset feels so different! The way it was originally made it difficult to tighten my hip area, but now, it's so easy.

[@Dontmakemebiteyou]

Oh thank you for this video Lucy! I've tried to figure out how to lace my corsets evenly to avoid the dreaded gaping at the back for ages. I would never have figured this out on my own. Do you use this type of lacing technique with all your corsets? Specifically the much shorter ones like the Baby & Leatherotics waspie?

[@donoghuemd]

Would you suggest relacing one's first corset before putting it on?

[@MadmanPanda]

Hi Lucy! Wonderful video, but I have a question. I have a corset that I purchased online, and well, maybe it's a characteristic of a cheap corset, but the waist tape doesn't seemed to be lined up with two grommets. There is one grommet, sort of lined up in the middle of the waist tape and the the grommets on either side are about an inch from the middle grommet. This makes it difficult to get the same reduction at the wait. I would think. How would you recommend lacing it? Thanks.

[@KendreaniaRene]

Thank you so much!! I couldn't figure out how to lace my corset to save my life!

[@vivdiva]

OK, encouraged by how easy you make all this look I have started trying to tighten my laces myself (I was just tossing it in my purse as I headed out. You would be surprised how helpful strangers will be with this. Moving on....). I am having the exact problem I thought I would, namely HOW do you get the modesty panel not to crunch up? Also, I cant get it tight enough! Help!

[@mitchellbuckley7989]

You are the best video, Bunny ear method is better than lacing all the way down, as with the bunny ears,when you put the corset on, you can pull on the Bunny ears , and tighten the corset yourself, without some one do it for you.

[@kennedymarie9824]

Great Technique! I love your shows!

[@LucysCorsetry]

Thank you! :)

[@pinksakurablossoms]

my corset only has 13 pairs of grommets, will this technique still work? also about how much string should i use?

[@SissyGurlKari]

I Love this technique much more, Thanks Hun!!

[@skarlettwayne8940]

I LOVE YOU LUCY!!! ♡

[@misslilevee]

question: i want to start making my own corset and i would like to know what i need and where to get it cheap?

[@athomewithkarmen]

Hi Lucy! I went to do this lacing style on the CS-411 from OC and ran into a snag. Due to the number of grommets up the back (10) I can't see to make the under-over action work well when I get to the midpoint of the corset back. You end in an "over" cross as opposed to an "under" cross at the bunny ear grommets. Is it safe for the corset to modify the crossing at this point or should I opt for another lacing method?

[@LucysCorsetry]

It's fine to modify the lacing to whatever works for you. It also doesn't harm the corset to have the knot of the laces "over" as opposed to "under". The most important part is that the pull loops (bunny ears) are sitting at the height of your natural waistline, not too high up or too low.

[@athomewithkarmen]

Wow! That was once fast response! I can't thank you enough for your wisdom. Glad to hear you are in the mend (just watched your most recent video.) I'm excited for your channel's new year plans. And, as a note, I like your videos because they are more lengthy AND more indepth. You are amazing!

[@LucysCorsetry]

K Anderson Thank you! :)

[@LigeiaNoire]

+K Anderson ran into the same problem when I got to the loop grommet my cross was over and not under

[@cherylchihana2821]

This was so helpful. Thank you so much.

[@cnith2]

How do you get extra long string? My corset came with two strings not one huge one... :S

[@billysmith5409]

When using this technique do you start from the top or bottom of the corset?

[@LucysCorsetry]

Always the top. That way you will tie off the ends of the laces at the bottom of the corset (by your hips).

[@billysmith5409]

I thought so and that makes sense. I’m a pro at the standard method of lacing a corset but I’ve only tried inverted bunny ears once

[@IRockWithPandahs]

the bunny ears are so cute! Can you tell me where you got them? >w

[@joanhanans6366]

Thank you it works great !!!

[@gabriellez613]

Is it possible to do this with 8 grommets on each side? For some reason I'm really confused

[@LucysCorsetry]

Yes, it's possible to do this with any length corset and pretty much any number of grommets. The most important thing to remember is that the bunny ears need to be at the waistline of the corset. Beyond that, it doesn't matter.

[@1recordernut]

Wow! Watching this, I realized the RTW corsets I have were incorrectly laced!The bunny ears were ABOVE the waist tape! I used this to relace both corsets, and am looking forward to trying them out, now that everything is corrected.

[@LucysCorsetry]

So glad it helped! :)

[@PurpleSteff127]

How long are the laces?

[@thexcharmer]

I thank you so much Lucy.😘

[@englishpearlify]

What length laces are required?

[@LucysCorsetry]

I typically like to use 6-7 meters. :) You can purchase lengths of lace at Timeless Trends and at Orchard Corset.

[@vivdiva]

looking for corsetrookie... thanks!

[@alejandrarosales7836]

Since it's an even amount of grommets wouldn't you start from the top and bring the laces from behind to make an X

[@LucysCorsetry]

Hi Alejandra, the number of grommets should always be even (there should always be the same number of grommets on one side compared to the other side). When it comes to lacing your corset, the pull-loops ("bunny ears") should always be at your waistline / lined up with the waist tape. Many OTR brands actually lace their corsets with the bunny ears too high, so I prefer to relace my corsets for maximum comfort and efficiency. Sometimes this will not always align properly with the number of grommets above and below the waist, so you might not always start with an X. Even if you don't start with an "X" in your laces, this does not harm the corset.

[@alejandrarosales7836]

Lucy's Corsetry I just undid the laces up to the waist tape and did the inverted pull loop method I'm about to lace myself in and see how it feels thanks for the quick response!!

[@salemgirl123]

omgosh thank you SOOO much for this.. i couldnt find one. how to. do it ^^

[@MadmanPanda]

waist* And I'm not sure if you can quite picture what I mean. I'm sorry that I can't explain it better.

[@SissyEli]

Thankx ;)

[@thexcharmer]

your super cute😉

[@ashleylauderback8579]

You can not tell when you are switching laces becuase your pants are black so to me it keeps looking like you are using same lace. Every video i have found people for some reason feel the need to speed up on the video.

[@ValkyrieVal3]

Ngl, I did this on my Gemini mostly because I wanted to try to stop the sheer amount of flesh squishing out at my waist 😂

[@juliebrady24]

Would be helpful, if at the very beginning, you point to the TOP of the corset, and point to the BOTTOM of the corset.

[@LucysCorsetry]

99.9% of corsets have the laces tied into a loop, with the knot of the two ends at the bottom of the corset. Therefore I always lace my corsets from top to bottom, so the bottom is closest to me when it's on the floor. If you look at your own corset, you should be able to see which end is the bottom.

[@juliebrady24]

@@LucysCorsetry Thank you! I like the inverted method... seems to prevent so much bowing in the middle.

[@katianovakk]

Women actually still wear corsets?
