Overview of normal corset lacing |
Lacing of a corset
In principle there are two lacing methods possible. The first one is the classical lacing, the so called trainer-lacing, the second one is the cross-lacing.
The fundamental difference is, that you canīt close the corset completely if laced with the trainer-lacing, because the ribbon runs in between the eyelet bands, so that you always have a gap of a few millimetres. In exchange you can put on and off a corset laced with the trainer-lacing by yourself.
With the cross-lacing thereīs no ribbon running in between the eyelet bands, so the corset can be closed completely. Because the ribbon crossings which are on the inside of the corset are pressed tightly to the skin, itīs nearly impossible to open or close a corset laced this way by yourself. Furthermore the pressure of the inner crossings can get uncomfortable on the skin, if the corset is worn a long time.
Weīll explain both ways of lacing here, so that you can choose the best alternative for you.
