Tibis Experience


My corset attraction comes long time ago, when I was teenager. On that time I have found a pleasant feeling the tightness of a belt and from here I have tried to enhance the feeling by putting few wide belts on me forming in this way something as a corset. A little later I had the opportunity to try an all in one girdle and I have found more pleasant feeling its tightness because my entire body . This was happened when I was 14 years old. On that time I didn't know many things about corsets, I didn't see how it looks a corset in reality. I have saw only an unclear picures from some movies and nothing more. Beeing inspired by that girdle and because I haven't the possibility to buy a real corset I have tried to make a corset being inspired by that girdle. I have found few pieces of old leather and I have cutted and sewed them manually. It was covered me from over the hips to underarms so was like an overbust corset. The closure I have made like in the girdle case with hooks and eyes.
 On that time I didn't know that a corset must be bonned so I have discovered that must be done when I have saw the leather start to make many wrinkles when I close tight the corset on me. After I done this I have discovered a new plasant sensation: the sensation of feeling my back suported by the corset. This was happened on 1990 and I was very proud by what I have done and I have stayed in it at beginning for few ours and later an entire day from morning to the sleep time.
I have decided to try to sleep in it but at begining was impossible but in short time I have realised this and I have worn it more time up to 3 days at row. Because that corset don't have any laces and the closure was done only by hooks in front was impossible to adjust the tightness and sometimes I feel it a little large on me and sometimes was a little uncomfortable because was too tight. When I have show my corset to my grandmother she like it, and she encoraged me to wear it, saying that will be very useful for me because of my trend of bending my back and slouch when I walk or sit. She said that when she was young she has worn a corset. When she saw that my corset was too tight on me sometimes she advised me that a real corset must to have laces for adjusting the tightness exactly is necessary.
Once was happened to me an interesting and thrilling situation.
Because my high school was in a different town than where I have live before I have rented a room in the town with my high school and I have travelled at home only once or two weekly.
At beginning I have worn my corset only at home in hollydays, I didn't worn in public under the clothes and I didn't brought with me in the place of my accommodation for high shool. Once in a Monday morning when I have gone from home to my accomodation place I have decided to brough with me my corset. I tried to put it in my luggage but was too long for my bag and despite my mother has tried to find another bag was immposible to find one in the short time that I had to catch the train. So she said that I can't take it with me and if I want this I must to wait until next week when I will come home again to find a bigger bag in this time. Because I was dissapointed at that time she found another solution, she adviced me to put it on me. I was very thrilled by that idea because until that time I have worn it only at home. So I put it on me and was a little too tight and I have felt a little uncomfortable with breathing because in the previous day I was without it and I have eat a lot.
 Despite of this and because my wish to bring with me was big I have decided to go corseted. I have grab my luggage and I have gone to the rail station. Walking on the street corseted was a new sensation to me but I have tried to accoustomed with it and I have arrived at the rail station without big problems. Once arrived I have remembered that I was forget something important to take with me and I decided to go back to home. The time remained until the train arriving was seems to me to be enough for normal walking but after I have arrived at home and picked the forgotten thing with me I have found the time is on the limit.
Because if I would miss that train it for sure I would miss the half of classes I have tried to run but soon I was out of breath and I must to stop to regain my breath. But the time was pressing me I have understood there wasn't time for stop and I started to walk faster despite I had the sensation that I don't have air. To unhook the corset was impossible because I was in public and I couldn't unhook it without to take my clothes off. So I have continued to walk and I was between two pressure: the time and the corset. For me was a big discomfort from breath restriction but I was thrilled by this new sensation experimented. For the entire remained way to the rail station I alternate short running followed shortly by unbearable out of breath sensation with walking to regain a little my breath. Despite I was in a hurry I have arrived late at the rail station but I have caught the train because it had also few minutes delay.
For me this was an unpleasant experience but interesting in the same time because I have discovered new aspects of wearing a corset. despite of this experience I have worn it in public under the clothes but not at school.
At the suggestion of my grandmother that a corset must to have laces for adjusting exactly the wanted tightness and because of my curiosity to explore this new world for me of corsetry I have made in 1991 an underbust corset by PVC laced in front. I have notice on that time that is more comfortable to wear and the sensation of tightening the laces is more pleasant than closing the hooks from my previous corset. I have worn this corset also in public under the clothes and because I have saw I feel different when I lace it by putting it's front to my back it was followed by making another corset in 1992 laced on both sides: front and back. This was an overbust corset made by PVC with length biger than the lenght of my first leather corset.
Because was long from the groin to the under arms on the sides and near to the throat line in front it was given to me more sensation of suport of my back. Despite lacing it in front was more simple than in the back I have found I feel better if the final lacing was in the back. So I have tighten it a little in front followed by final tightenning in the back. Because of it's lenght I can't reach the laces from the upper area of the corset so I need help to laced in the back. My grandmother laced me when I was in holliday at home and she encouraged me to wear it more time saying that is very good for posture.
After I have read in a book about electrostimulation of the muscles was come the idea to use a corset for stimulation of the back muscles. So I have attached many electrodes to the underbust corset and I have build an electronic device for generating electrical pulses for massaging the back muscle. I have done this in 1994 and I have enjoyed for sensation to stay relaxed in my corset and the muscles to be massaged by the corset.
After this because I was very busy as student I have neglected a while to continue my activity as corset maker and to make other corsets. I only have worn the corsets already made bu occasionally and I was satisfied about them.
In this time my waist size was reached 32" (80cm).
Only after 1996 when I have gained internet access and I have searched first time on the net about corsets I start to learn more things about them and I was amazed about how much information exists at that time. In this way I have learned for first time that a corset must to have a busk for a easier closing and for better support and other interesting things. I was amazed by the fact that many things experienced by me before is the same with the things of other people corset experience.
Based on the ne informations learned from the net I have build in 1999 my first overbust corset with busk. Because was impossible to find a busk in my town I have made one for my corset.
This corset I have made by fabric laced in back and with front busk closure and I was very satisfied about it, how it lookd and how I feel in it. Especially I have found very pleasant the sensation of having my back completely relaxed all the time. So I have worn this corset more and more time, and I have stayed in it for up to 2 weeks at row. I would like also to become a permanent 23 or 24/7 wearer but until now I didn't realized this due of few reasons.
This corset was followed by other corsets, most of them overbust corsets and my last two corsets made for me was overbust type, fully bonned and with 10 cm wide laced shoulder straps.
In present my wiast size was reduced to 29" (73cm) uncorseted and corseted can go down to 25" (63cm).
