Guest Blogger Erin Riley aka Grl Nxt Door: Thoughts on Corseting

My Experience with Corseting


As a mother of four, I try to eat healthy, drink plenty of water, exercise and get the recommended amount of sleep each night.  As dedicated as I am to taking the time to do all those things, it seems as though I couldn’t not bring the shape back to my body that I once had.  Instead of having sexy curves, I looked like a tree trunk; straight down on both sides.  Like some teenage girl who hasn’t gone through adolescence yet.  If that wasn’t enough, my back decided that it was going to go on strike and cause undo stress and pain in my life.  I really wanted a change and believe it or not, I found it at Orchard Corset.

I know that this may sound a little strange to you.  Finding a solution at an online boutique?  How is that even possible you may ask yourself?  It is quite simple really.  I started wearing under bust corsets and my life seriously began to change and I actually started to see a difference in my body as well as getting the much needed relief that I had sought for the pain in my back. 

Once a corset has been broken in to the shape of your body, it is like a second skin.  It is not meant to be a constraint that should be uncomfortable to wear or make you feel as if you can’t take a breath or move freely.  Rather it is meant to be a support garment that keeps your spine in the ideal position as well as creating a classic silhouette figure of the female form.

I wear a corset every day.  I wear it under my scrubs at work since I am on my feet all day and it alleviates the pain that is usually associated with that.  I wear one with jeans and a tee shirt or a sweater.  I wear them under my dresses when I go out.  I will even admit that I have even slept in one because they have kept my back from hurting and from sleeping in the wrong position. 

Thanks to Orchard Corset, I finally have the figure that I want and a pain free back.  This has allowed me to be more aggressive in my workouts at the gym and it makes me feel more attractive as a woman.  If you have ever considered corseting, I would recommend it.  I love my corsets and I can’t say enough positive things about them.
