You can use a mirror to help you .

Place both side of the corset (the back ribbon is not tied nor tightened yet) around your body. Put on the last clasp, and then the first one . the others will follow...( photos 1, 2 and 3)

You are now ready to tighten it...

Catch the bottom laces and draw them (photo 4), temporally tie them on the front of the corset (photo 5). Then tighten from top to waist and from bottom to waist (photo 6). Draw the buckles to tighten the waist (photo 7). Do it again as long as the tighten degree is not reached...

To finish : tie the buckles (photo 8) and tie the bottom laces (photo 9).

To be at ease in your corset, raise your arms, lean on sides and from the back to the front...

After all these tortures you are finally ready to be admired...
