How to Curve Back Steel Corset Bones (for Lordosis/ Swayback or Prominent Bum) | Lucy's Corsetry

Blog for this: http://lucycorsetry.com/2016/01/13/cu...

If you have a corset with very rigid, straight steel bones in the back by the grommets that irritate your spine, force you to hunch over, or poke into your tailbone/ bum, this is the tutorial for you.

I show you how the spine is not designed to be stick straight, and a little bit of curve in the lumbar area can support a neutral posture.

I show how to bend stiffer bones in the back by the grommets, and discuss options for other modifications like replacing the bones for bendier steels, adding "bum gores", and commissioning a corsetiere with experience drafting for those with lordosis.

Corsetieres for clients with lordosis/ sway back:

Electra Designs (drafting for lordosis, bendy back steels)
Lovely Rats Quality Custom Clothing (drafting for lordosis, stiffer steels)

Contour Corsets (drafting for more or less posture correction, stiffer steels)

Corsetieres with flexible back steels (good for hugging lumbar curve, but modify the lacing technique to prevent bowing):
Heavenly Corsets, Xandriana, Dark Garden, Starkers Corsetry, Tighter Corsets, The Bad Button, Jupiter Moon 3

What I'm wearing: CS-426 underbust corset in tan cotton, from Orchard Corset (get 15% off with CORSETLUCY15 )
