Waist training has a history that runs through Victorian parlours, fetish clubs, and every gothic subculture in between. The Dita Underbust Essential Corset doesn't pretend otherwise.This is the foundational piece for anyone serious about dark aesthetic dressing or getting into corsetry for the first time. The underbust cut means it layers over anything, a billowing poet shirt, a band tee, a sheer blouse, and the hip gusset gives you that exaggerated hourglass silhouette that reads equally at home at a deathrock show or a gothic formal.Available in a 20" waist (Size 8). Steel boned, hip gusset construction. Size up if you're new to corsetry and want a more comfortable break-in period. Corset Care Spot clean only. Never machine wash or tumble dry. Air dry flat, away from direct sunlight and heat. Store hung by the loops or laid flat, never folded, to preserve the boning. Season a new corset by wearing it loosely laced for two to three hours on the first few wears before tightening. Never over-tighten. Handled properly, a good corset lasts years.
