As someone who is more or less symmetrical I don't really have much to add but may I just say I think it's amazing how you're coming up with interesting videos that don't involve you wearing your corsets whilst you're still healing. I hope you get well soon and have a very merry Christmas and a great new year!

Thank you Lucy. I have only just started watching your videos (and ordered my first corset!). The information and research you share is much appreciated and very interesting. Hope you continue to improve after your accident. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Linda

I'm just so happy that you're making these videos. Cheers!

This was incredibly helpful! My ribs are uneven, as one protrudes and the other is relatively normal. My goal is having them get as symmetrical as possible over time, so thank you for covering this topic and providing options! Looking forward to more videos!

I have uneven ribs, and the left side is actually shorter-waisted than the right because of it. I have to wear corsets lower because of this, but it's not a huge deal. Great, informative video!

I don't wear corsets all the time, but I do wear them to perform (burlesque) in. Trouble is, I cannot afford much-- less than 50 US dollars a corset in fact. In addition to my hips being much larger than my waist and bust (measurements of 44, 38, 52) making the corsets either too small for my hips or too large for my bust, I have scoliosis as well. Two curves, one 15 degrees and one 23 degrees, and in addition to that, my hips are curving towards the front of my body. I've seen specialists and they say "you have enough of a problem to cause you pain but not enough to do anything about it" I digress. I'm not sure what to do about the corsets. I don't want the ones I have to ruin, because even though my corsets seem like they don't cost a lot, to me with my budget the less than 50 dollars is a great expense. So I'm not sure which of the issues is the one I need to concentrate on.

You had linked this to me a couple days ago and I've found it very helpful. I took a look at Gogala's study and found it very interesting. I unfortunately already had spinal fusions so the asymmetry in my ribs will probably never be completely fixed but like you had said when the ribs are more symmetric it's easier to breathe, and while it may be strange to some, because the corset applies equal pressure it is easier for me to breath when wearing one because it opens and rounds the right side of my ribs which are drawn inward and compressed without one. Right hip also protrudes so my silhouette without a corset (if your looking for it) looks like my torso is slightly twisted because my ribs lean in the opposite direction of my hips. I had a very severe double curve and even though I had corrective surgery, my body is still quiet twisted. They could never get the entire curve to be gone, just improved enough where it wouldn't continue to twist.

Thanks for the information : )

Very good information.

Hey Lucy! How have you been recovering? I hope you enjoyed your holidays regardless :)

Loveeee videoooo❤️💚❤️💚💚

Can you please do a video on what are good first starter or best corsets to start with for beginners? I want to try the orchard cs426 but I'm not sure if thats too extreme to start with. I'm currently 34/30/36. I don't want to buy too many corsets as they are expensive. Thank you :)

Love it

Could I be tying it too tight? and I know I tend to favour my right side more, especially when I sit at my computer desk, I will lean to my right. This indentation in some of my corsets, as I've said in my email to you is not in all of my corsets, and I have various sizes. Some are just the right size but will not cinch my waist much, and I've read if you are in between sizes, it is better to go small, so I have bought some which are smaller. Another thing is, because I am new to this, I didn't know the benefits of steel boning versus the plastic boning, so I have recently purchased a couple of spiral steel boned corsets which I am waiting for, so that will be interesting to see the difference.

But if you already have the corset and your musculature is slightly asymmetric, what do you do? Especially if I'm planning on waist training. It's hardly a visible asymmetry but I can feel the boning bend a bit more on one side than the other. What should I do?

I've never worn a corset bit one side of my waist is a lot smaller than the other, so I'm researching a corset to maybe help even it out. Any tips? Is this possible?

I think my right hip is higher than my left, but I just pull my corset higher on the left side and pull it down a little on the right so it looks fine.

This is slightly unrelated, but I was wondering if all of the corsets that are in your videos (reviews,etc.) could be used for waist training? I know that off the rack corsets are not great quality, but I was hoping they might be able to produce some sort of result. Thanks!

on the Andrej Gogala scoliosis hump reduction, do you think it is a permanent one, or something that would just come right back to where it was before he started corsetting? If so, how long do you think these shape change results hold for without wearing the corset, and are there any long term damages if you used the corset for the rest of your life, like Andrej is likely expected to do?

I was hit by a car at 17 years old. I broke my right hip, most of my right ribs, and in turn, punctured a lung. As I healed, I saw that my hips were incredibly uneven. It doesnt bother me much, but I am saving for a custom soon. :] My whole right side of my body looks "higher" than the left. its kind of odd. lol

Hi Lucy, I already have a naturally size 21 inch waist but I have noticed that with working out I have started gaining weight and inches around my waist. It's not too bad, now 23 inches, but I would like to get back down to my 21 inch waist or smaller. I was wondering if you had and tips for me or recommendations for beginner corsets or waist cinchers that are somewhat on the inexpensive side and not too visible under everyday clothing. Because I have a slim frame, working out my waist would probably add inches rather than reduce them and I have been looking into corsets for a while now but just never made the final commitment. I am currently a 32-21(on a good day)-33, 5 foot 5 and 100 lbs. I really want to get my waist back down because even though I am very slim, my waist is a part of myself that I really admire. It gives shape to my otherwise freakishly thin body which is why I would like to keep a 21 inch or smaller waist size. Any positive advice is much appreciated.

I am a beginner to waist training and I noticed that the left side of my waist is more curvy than the right side when I don't have my corset on, but when I do have it on it is evened out. Does that mean that my body is asymmetrical? And can I use my corset to fix this?

hi Lucy. Is chiropractic med really a big help? how often do you need to see a chiropractor for your condition?

Hey - think this is actually the 1st time ever i've commented on a youtube vid! there was a "link" at the very end to a video called "Measuring corsets for asymmetry" , but the links in youtube vids never work for me, dunno if the system for doing so has changed in the past 8!! years? i also did a google search for this channel & that title, as well as just the title, with no results other than measuring body for asymmetry, rather than the corset itself - does the video still exist? could you pls provide the link if so

I got tested for scoliosis as a child and my mom thought it was just because I had previously fractured my collar bone, so I never got it checked until my sister's was found... about 10 years later 🤣

How expensive are these medical correction corsets? I have looked on Frans page and seen what could be my answer but can not find the answer to the simple question of how much. Obviously it would be a bit and I'm certainly closer to poor than rich. So Lucy if there is any other suggestions you have on fixing a severe back haunch that doesn't include paying too much money, I'm all ears.

Hi I was wondering if corsetts would be good for muffin tops? I don't really have a lot of fat but my hip bones have always stuck out and made it look like I do, even when I weighed around 100 pounds. I'm 130 now and I have a pretty short torso, so do you know any corsets that would cover it?

Hey Lucy I've messaged Fran for an asymmetrical corset but haven't herd anything back. Please help

Hi Lucy I was just wondering if my brand new corset from orchard corsets can be fixed with a sewing machine, it ripped a little from the side while I was trying to season it, it only has a week and half. Or should I contact orchard corsets?

I have scoliosis, and a short torso, guess im just not meant to have a shape.

I have asymmetrical hips and idk if its safe to wear a corset, i would really hate to stop waist training because im determined to close this corset! 😔

Hi there. I only recently have heard about 'waist training' and am in the early phases of research. I am primarily interested in waist training as a means to create a little more contour/shape to my waist line (and wouldn't mind getting the waist a bit smaller either) and help a little bit with diet and fitness by way of suppressing appetite/portion control and helping my core. However I do have moderate to severe scoliosis. NOTHING close to what Gogala suffered from but I was braced as a teen and have been teetering on the borderline of surgery to correct the spine ever since. I am trying to decipher two things- 1.) if I were to purchase an off the rack corset to start with and see how I feel about this process, could it negatively impact condition? I understand it may wear strangely or cause discomfort with my asymmetry but just until I get my feet wet and decide if I want to commit to this, I would prefer not to pay for an expensive custom corset if possible. 2.) I saw your section on how this has also been used to help asymmetry/scoliosis and I find it intriguing. But since I am primarily doing this for asthetics, does the custom corrective corsets ALSO work as a waist trainer (to create more defined and tiny curves/wasitlines) in the same way that a normal one does? Or does it ONLY function to correct asymmetry? I know you may not have all the answers on this, but if you knew where I could go to find them that would be super helpful and much appreciated. Most doctors would not take this method seriously and since I am really looking at this as aesthetic process/desire with just the added bonus if it could help a pre-existing condition, it's not something I would really seek out my doctors specific advice on (and that is if they even had any kind of real knowledge on waist training!). Many thanks in advance.

At 7:54... With your kinda more stickey outie left hip? That does not sound very medical at all.. That made my day hearing that. Sometimes you are very doctor level on terminology, other times not so much.. but always awesome. Merry Christmas.

he he i hav escoilosis and want to make a corset

Do you have an email??
