Corset style: How trend has continued to rule asoebi fashion

Check out her six tips below:

1. Your body type

"If you have a curvy physique, you won’t need to do too much to slay a corset dress."

Seeing as corset dresses put in the work in ensuring one's curves come out, people with hips and small waists will slay this style without stress.

2. Hip padding

“Packaging enhances value. If you don’t have that shape, you can opt for a perfectly padded dress."

The likes of designer CEO Luminee is known for padding dresses of her clients obsessed with the 'figure 8' look.

3. Find a good tailor

"This is the master of them all because if this is compromised, even with a good shape, you still won’t slay that look."

The dress should be perfectly sewn by a tailor who understands the complexities of corset-making.

4. The Dress must be boned properly (Structure)

"If the dress is not boned, it’s not corseted even if it has visible corset lines on the outside. The boning gives the dress a proper structure and helps in snatching the waist and reducing belle folds when the waist and stomach are snatched."

5. Snatching

"If you want to slay your corset, it has to hold you, especially on the upper part of your body (shoulder to waistline and maybe stomach in some cases). Snatching doesn’t mean restricting somebody’s airflow. It can be moderately done and it will still look good."

6. Corset is not exactly for women with big stomachs

"But they can still look good in it if they don’t mind."
