I forgot to add a huge point in the video: corsets are GREAT for boob support. They were a ye-olde bra of sorts; unfortunately I donât have much going for me in that department so I forgot to mention it !!

Iâve had family members tell me I should wear makeup to family gatherings so I donât look to âfrumpyâ and tired
To which I responded by not wearing makeup and being antisocial đ

When
I wear corsets almost daily, my "computer work" corset is one with a back and shoulder straps as that helps a lot more so if you want one that's less for fashion and more for posture, I'd invest in a backed corset!
you could try improving your posture by strenghtening the muscles responsible for it. That's why muscles are for, and that's why you may have bad posture ;)
@@valeriataylor8337 yes but it might be hard to correct them which is why some people use a brace for it to force it upon themselves to get use to it

@@sackme4377 true XD
You're only supposed to wear it 2hrs the first day and the do half hour more each day so that the corset forms to your body gradually, it'll make it more comfortable and prevents the corset warping
Anything you have to âwork your way up toâ is a big ânoâ from me. Discomfort is your body trying to talk to you. Same goes for shoes, tight pants, bras.
â ââ ââ ââ @@missmayflowerIâve made 2 corsets for myself and Iâve only ever worn basically custom made corsets, so id like to preface this by saying my perspective is biased. Itâs less abt âgetting used to itâ and more abt the corset morphing to the shape of your body with heat and time. Comparing that to âbreaking intoâ shoes, which can involve blisters and such, this process has only ever caused me soreness in my back due to my trash posture.
@@missmayflower by this logic, exersize is bad for you. lmfao.
Can we just appreciate her warning when she was going to talk about difficulties in childbirth? So rare someone who doesnât just assume it is an ok topic for everyone

@@advlia686 I feel you so much. Nowadays I am better at not panicking about it thanks to information (gathered in very careful way) and psychological support, but I still rather choose when I am prepared to hear about it or not. Also, fear of childbirth is a lot more common than people think so we should be as careful talking about this as we are about abuse or etc.
@@mada5326 true .. I don't want to hear about it right now and I'm more than glad she warned us .đit's nice to see ppl who have the same thoughts as you
Isn't it more difficult to comprehend how abortion till birth is ok?
I mean Biden made it legal so it has to be a good thing, right?
I am a stupid Man you know so you have to explain it to me how it's ok.
@@iAmNothingness I am talking about tokophobia which is an actual fear of childbirth and not necessarily related to abortion, even if women who have this problem tend consider abortions more if they donât get a very good psychological support. Phobias and triggers are not necessarily based in logic they are based in surviving, experiences and impressions of the world. Abortion as a legal subject has little to do with it but the reason why it is not a bad thing necessarily is very social.

You're not meant to wear them for that long, specially when they're new, but I still love that you admitted you did wrong and then went out of your way to do the proper research and fixed it, proud of the character development
Also, when wearing corsets- there is a thing called seasoning the corset- which means to only wear it a few hours a day to build up to a whole day. So you should not have pain.
And when your body is fighting the corset, like in a modern chair or in a car, there is going to be some pain. But that is more because the corset is being put in a position it is not designed for.
@@jesusgirl2016 Yes this is true! Car seats for driving are NOT comfortable with any kind of stays or corset- bucket seats are for slouching and bending in. A corset does not do that. lol
Yep, so the corset warms up and shapes to your body! :)
Thank you for sharing, I was thinking about how seasoned my corset this whole video!
thank u, i was planning on getting a corset one day , this was helpful :)
The fact that she admitted that she could have done it better and then DID. IT. BETTER is just so amazing... I almost never see someone that brave and willing to accept feedback đ„ș
Thank you for giving this another go. Corset shops can be very dumb in their advertising. I was on the corset story site and I was just. Screaming. WEAR A SHIRT OR SHIFT UNDER YOUR CORSET Agh. Itâs no wonder people hate them đ
I actually bought from them last year. (Did the 3 for 1 thing and split the cost with a couple others) I was decently pleased, granted I bought a âhistorically inspiredâ corset. Thinking back Iâm glad one of the other women I bought with at least had me to tell her to wear a dang shirt under hers and to wear it to comfort, not tight lace. We next to one another in a â1888 londonâ and âBlackbeardâs pirate shipâ themed areas of a haunted house, so we wore them 6+ hours at a time, several nights a week, acting the entire time, for almost two months. There is no way either of us would have kept that up if we hadnât worn clothing beneath them or been tight lacing.
As a history bounder who wears corests regularly, I'm so happy you actually did this correction. Corests get such a bad rep (mainly because of misinformation spread by men), and they're really helpful for so many people when worn correctly. Thank you đ
@@Belltogo3000 I don't think that's sexist, I think they're explaining why corsets are missed represented.
I actually know someone with a rare disease (neural conversion) that has to wear a full body corset (-like brace). Also, scolioses requires people to wear corsets (okay technically braces, but still)
@@Belltogo3000 the main people who began spreading misinformation about corsets were doctors in the 19th century who were all men (who didn't actually understand how corests change the body so was misinformation, such as saying corsets broke ribs which there was never a recorded case of as well as stating corsets caused things like Tuberculosis) as well as men who ran newspapers who made panic pieces on them (just like the modern panic pieces on how bras cause breast cancer) and men who disliked that most corsets were made by female owned businesses. There were a few women who did spread misinformation about them to begin with but they were mainly women restating the things men had said previously. Thus me saying the misinformation were mainly spread by men who never wore them in this decades.
Also no most women did not tight lace. Women ran businesses, worked on farms, raised children etc. all while wearing corsets basically as support garments, just like we do now with bras. The people who did tight lace were very few (and was primarily in the late Victorian and edwardian era which spans 20 years, which is tiny considering women have been wearing corsets for around 200-300+ years depending on what you consider a corset) and they were all upper class society ladies, who did not represent the rest of the population of women.
You weren't forced to wear them, especially in later decades but it was a societal expectation just like having to wear a bra now (with the exception of women of high society, but again they don't represent all women of the time period). Some women wouldn't wear them, such as female miners, this was considered a little scandalous, but it would also be considered a little scandalous 10 or so years ago if a women when to a business meeting without a bra.
The misinformation about corsets was also furthered by films that showed scenes where a women is bracing herself against something while a maid or her friend "pulls" the corset tight. The first films who did this were again made by men (the first film to do this to my knowledge was gone with the wind which is from the 1940s and directed by a man), and has become a massive film trope now that historical costumers think is ridiculous, firstly because again very few women did tight lace, and it's was in specific eras, so if you've ever seen a regency drama with this scene it is nonsense because their corsets were not designed to bring in your waist. And secondly because if you've ever worn a corset you'd know this is a hyper uneffective way to tighten the corset, it literally does nothing, again showing the people who made these scenes have never worn a corset.
Not bitter toward men, I'm mainly highlighting the irony of a garment worn primarily by women having misinformation spread about it by men, in time periods where men had all the power. It's irony, and something that is common through history up until relatively recently. Women gain power, men get scared and attack it, look at misinformation spread about female pagans, Suffragettes etc. Doesn't represent modern men, but HISTORICALLY it was hyper common and should be noted in my opinion.
@@kotatoni7842 Nah that is kinda sexist... not many men talk about corsets and much less of those men go around spreading misinformation about them.
@@Belltogo3000 women weren't forced to tightlace. And it wasn't most women who could AFFORD to tightlace. Tightlacing was only for the rich and pampered women who could AFFORD to tightlace, and most women never tightlaced past 22-24 inches, which is a common waist measurement you can find on un-corseted women today as well.
There are videos by real historical costumers that could help you understand this concept, in the case that i don't come off as genuine to you!
Pre victorian era- corsets were called stays. And pre victorian, the hourglass was NOT the purpose - they were a support garment for the "visual aesthetic" - creating the look. Also, I know to fashion historical makers that wore stays for both pregnancies- acutal had more support and no health issues. But a much better video than the first. Thank you for the re-make.
Yup, they sinch in the waist a bit but weren't made for that purpose. They were made as a.. Backdrop for the over all dress.
@@mangalover0149 and bust support! Cant forget the bust support. My stays support my boobs really well. As do my corsets. Iâm never going back to bras!
@@katherinemorelle7115 Where did you get your corsets? Stuck with DDs over here, and have been wanting a corset for a while, but the quality ones are so expensive! (So are quality bras, but it's still cheaper than the corsets for now...)
@@katherinemorelle7115 does for me too. Except that it's really uncomfortable on my back so I want to see if it's that specific stay pair, or stays in general. đ€
@@warriormaiden9829 my first corset I got from Orchard Corsets, but I actually make my own. Iâm guaranteed to get a great fit that way, and I really canât afford to buy custom.
That being said, if I could afford to buy custom, it would be from either RedThreaded or PriorAttire. They use antique patterns for their corsets, so youâre guaranteed a proper piece that is historically accurate - or as accurate as one can get, being manufactured today. They do both use metal eyelets in corsetry from before metal eyelets existed, but itâs also true that metal eyelets are stronger and last longer, so thereâs good reason for them using them, apart from the fact that that amount of hand sewing eyelets would increase the price considerably.
Most underrated channel is the business.
Agree!
Yesss

I don't wear corsets nor I plan to, but I follow meme mom and other costubers, so I'm happy that you gave it a fair try and also that you liked the results. And more than all, I'm happy to follow an intelligent person who acknowledges her failures, researches and tries again.
The black boots were the obvious choice. Well done! As a history-bounder who regularly wears corsets, I have to applaud you for trying them again. After a long day, mine gets uncomfortable, too, and mine are custom fitted. Now, I've procrastinated long enough. Time to get back to sewing yet another corset.

I wear an overbust corset on the reg, I was getting bad back pain because of a combination of my large *cough* assets, and doing my schooling online at my desk all day. God what a difference it has made. Even the awareness of the pressure on my back and torso improves my posture so much, let alone the support from the garment itself. Fully agree w all your observations here, great video!!!
Hi, do you have any advice for first time wearers with ummm âlarge assetsâ...?
@@sobiah11 1) a corset is like a nice pair of shoes - break it in before wearing it for a long period of time, and follow instructions given my the corset company. 2) if youâre like me, the laces will probably be tighter in the middle and bottom than the top, do not try to tightly lace your breasts, the weight distribution through the corset will support them, and donât be afraid to let out your corset a bit if you feel itâs too tight. 3) Always. Wear. An. Undergarment. Be it a cotton shirt or a vest or whatever. Do. Not. Put. Ur. Breasts. Directly. Into. A. Corset. 4) donât be afraid to âreach in and rummageâ so to speak - putting the corset on will likely squish ur breasts downwards towards your waist, and you will be much more comfortable during the day if you adjust them manually. Bonus: if I sit down on a sofa/couch, i can often rest my chin on my little boob shelf
@@lolaopal8884 woah, this is really good advice, I didnât expect this much detail but wow Iâm so grateful for it. Since we are under lockdown, I am a little nervous about doing this on my own so Iâm trying to find information on the corsets before getting them. The main reason I want to start wearing them is because I tend to get back aches and in the past, slimming pants and things have helped...but Iâve always wanted to try corsets too. I would ask if I could get your email to ask about anything else but you donât have to give it if you donât want to...
@@sobiah11 afraid I canât give you my email but thereâs a company called Orchard Corsets - I personally recommend their corsets, their v affordable in terms of quality corsets, and they have a huge section of their website about the proper wearing of the corsets. Also there is a CZcams channel called Lucyâs Corsetry who does corset reviews and has a video re: wearing corsets because of back strain caused by breasts
@@lolaopal8884 thatâs fine, and Iâll look up on those recommendations, Iâm just glad you were able to be so helpful so thank you so so much đ
I've never worn a corset but I've wanted one for a while and seeing how great they are for your posture makes me want one even more because i have horrific posture while doing school work and it really needs to be fixed
Corsets be like; snatched hunny
It shows that youâre a very brave and intelligent person to realize your mistake, apologize, and correct them. Very admirable â€ïž I wish more CZcamsrs, even just people in general, would do the same.
I have the same style of corset as you. Something to remember when learning to wear a corset, only wear it for 1-3 hours a day until you break it in. It can take a while to mold to your shape and get even more comfy.
I've started wearing them due to rotator cuff tears. I'm 'chesty' and bras over the years have deformed the top of my shoulders where the straps dig in. My shoulders are always tense, the muscles hard as stone, and I believe it contributed to the tears due to the pain and stress caused by the bra. I was searching for 'how to put a corset on by yourself' when I came upon your channel here. Thank you for your delightful and entertaining video! You had me laughing quite often!
âItâs gonna be a bit mingingâ is the most British comment that makes me secretly proud to be British đ

Exactly, it's way better for your back than simply folding over like that. And for wearing shoes, I believe shoes can worn while sitting since it's more practical (what was shown in the video here). Who wears their shoes while standing, unless they are in a rush.
Corseted ladies would put their chemise, stockings, shoes, corset, corset cover, petticoat, pads, dress etc. In that order

Black boots were definitely the correct choice, esp as they match well with the corset and bring the outfit together.
Definitely the black boots!
Youâve actually tempted me to try out a corset... probably wonât actually end up doing it, but it actually looked really good, and plus the posture element would be great!
I just did, and highly recommend! Just make sure you do _lots_ of research to find a corset that's right for you and your body measurements, such as waspie vs regular length vs longline, underbust vs overbust, materials, so on and so forth. But it's so worth it and for me it's actually super comfy even for long periods!
I really appreciate it when people who are influencers acknowledge their mistakes rather than brushing it off and getting mad. Thank you for doing this.
Wasn't expecting to hear the SimplyNailogical theme song in the middle there!
THANK YOU! I was in the comments just looking for someone who noticed đ
Love that you are willing and able to admit a âmistakeâ and try something again!
"I wore a corset and I'll never do it again"
*does it again*
this is the kind of inconsistency we're here for
Iâm really glad you tried again and made a lot of changes! A couple of little things from an avid corset wearer: the trouble you were having with lacing is normal for first timers. Try keeping a lacing video up while youâre lacing and/or try practising lacing the corset when it isnât on you so you get an idea of how to move your hands while you can use your eyes to help. Also, please, work your way up to ten hours in a corset. The recommended starting point is two hours. TWO. Your muscles need time to adjust and so do your organs, but you also need time to adjust. Things like bending at the hip and not the wait isnât how most people move, so it takes practise. Also, if you are planning on becoming a more regular corset wearer, there are exercises you can do that will really help. Bernadette Banner has a video of herself trying out a vintage workout that was designed to be done in a corset, as well as regular stretching, and breathing exercises that work on lung strength and capacity to counteract any difficulties the corset may cause (Iâm an asthmatic with lasting lung damage from a series of pretty serious lung infections, so I find these SUPER helpful and an absolute must for long term corset wear). One other thing is adjusting your lacing after about an hour. I lace my corset fairly tightly (I typically wear over but corsets for the boob support), and I find that no mater how hard I try to lace my corset carefully and comfortably, I am WAY more comfortable if I re-lace it after a bit. You body kind of settles into the corset and then if you adjust the lacing it makes the fit even better. Just try to resist the urge to make it much tighter! This is a trick tight-lacers will sometimes use to get the extra bit tighter, but part of the adjustment lacing process for non-tight-lacing should involve adjusting the corset tighter or looser, based on how it felt.
10:30 "Skip ahead 20 seconds and I'll see you in a minute" that's some fishy math if you ask me
I barely passed maths GCSE ok đđ
Pirate ellbat has returned and is just as beautiful as the first time I saw her
Also like to say I guess the video correct on her Instagram story đ
Ur waist is gorgeous :0
Literally both the before and after are goals
One of the rare instances where the sequel is better than the original. Good job! We need more content creators like this, who are willing to go back, reevaluate themselves and call out their mistakes - and then make a bangin' video!
YAYYYY! as someone who loves & makes custom corsets, i was hoping you'd re-visit this!
I'd love to see your work!
Do you have an online shop, or is it exclusively in-person? And how much would an overbust one be? I'd been saving for a corset...and then I got pregnant. đ I'll be looking to get one around December. (Due in May, and then 7-ish months of nursing. I'd nurse longer, but that's about the time mine start biting, which means I'm done. đ)
Do you sell them or is it just a hobby? If you sell them do you have a shop link cause Iâve been interested in buying a corset since elementary school (Iâm about to graduate and go to college) đ
I just want to add a couple of things that either werenât clear in the video, I forgot to add or I just didnât know but u lovely lot have taught me !!
1: corsets can help with your posture, but they can also provide support for your boobs and your back. I didnât even think about the boob thing because I am personally lacking in that department đ
2: You need to be careful using a corset 100% for posture as extended use over years may cause muscle atrophy in your abdominal muscles as your body relies on the corset to keep you upright, instead of using your core. You can stop this by making sure to do ab workouts !
3: I didnât mention the history of stays, which are corset like garments that serve as very comfortable undergarments. I ran out of time as the video was already very long but there are loads of amazing videos that look at purely the history of this garment !!
4: I mentioned that the âhourglass figureâ was a key thing that made corsets appealing - but corsets donât always create this shape. I got a bit confused with modern corsets (which give this shape) and all corsets through history.
If I missed anything else please let me know in the replies and Iâll add to this !! Thank u as always for the knowledge đ
Yessss Ellbat đ„șđ„șđđđ
There were workout corsets that were similar to what you wore but they weren't popular because women preferred their existing corsets.
A new corset needs to be broken in like a new pair of shoes.
Corsets with front lacing were worn by women who did not have attendants so that they could lace themselves in. Similar to our dresses having side zips instead of back zips. Let's debate the stupidity of bras still clipping in the back 90% of the time.
@@jadevt1939 Yes! I've had only a couple of bra's that close in the front, and it's so much more comfy for me. A friend of mine said for her it wouldn't work, because her boobs are so next to each other there's no room for a clasp, but I can't be the only one with enough room for a small clasp in the middle :D
They also protected the waist from the weight of very heavy skirts- could you imagine a few kilos hanging off a tight waistband, all day? Hello bruises! Whereas a corset will evenly distribute that weight all across your entire torso.
Thatâs also why many with big boobs like corsets as well- they do the same for the weight of your boobs. So no more neck and shoulder pain, or permanent divots in your shoulders from the straps!
Honestly, Iâm never going back to bras. Theyâre so painful in comparison with corsets.
Also, whoever said satin (silk or polyester) under a corset was a good idea was... not correct. You want fibres that are breathable and will keep you cool and your core temperature steady.
So linen, cotton or bamboo. Orchard corsets sell very affordable bamboo liners. Victorian women wore cotton chemises (satin nighties are a modern thing), and earlier than that, we wore linen shifts. If all the fibres, linen is the best. Itâs the most breathable, it keeps you cool, it keeps you dry, and it even has anti bacterial properties, so it even keeps you cleaner! Itâs a super fibre, really. Such a pity we moved away from using it so much.
yaaay, I'm glad we got this redemption story! I wear a selfmade full-length corset to my exact measurements regularly and it's rather comfy. I do get tired of it after a full day too though, because sometimes it rides up and no longer sits at my waist, which is annoying. I want to make an updated version of it (want to change some of the boning positions and such) at some point, but it's holding up nicely so far ^^
Oo kind of late, but I was trying to solve this problem in my handmade corsets. I just read yesterday that too narrow hip spring or not enough lower back curve, or even not having it sit at natural waist because of altering the pattern during fitting etc. It has been a challenge for me for suređ
The fact I got an ad right when she said "interruptions" while talking about skillshare killed me
So glad she did this. I wear a corset regularly for my back pain and was pretty disappointed by the first video.
Itâs admirable that she actually admitted her mistakes and directly corrected herself
Wonderful job correcting mistakes! đđ
A good corset is supportive without being restrictive. I will wear my corsets instead of a back brace when a lumbar disc goes out because itâs more supportive, more comfortable, and actually stays where I need it.
!!! I just bought this exact corset earlier this week and am eagerly awaiting it! Your video makes me feel more confident that I made the right choice, there were SO many to choose from. Thank you for making this video.
âposted seconds agoâ AHDHDKDHIDEH hello đ©âŒïž i really love how u do research before things honestly ALSO U LOOK LIKE UM WHATS HER NAME FROM THE TITANIC
This is the earliest anyone has ever been omg
@@Ellbat HAHHAA hi i love ur hair! i just cut mine đ©
She does look like Rose!!!
Canât lie I did think this video felt very familiarđ
Your memory went đ§ this is sus
I have worn corsets and stays before, and the over-bust ones are nicely supportive of large ta-tas... Before bras, corsets gave that support to the women who needed it. I find the corset/stays are MORE comfortable than bras as the hips to the support vs the shoulders (straps) on modern bras. Glad you gave it a fair try!
As theatre has taught me, "boots *then* corset
No offense, I knew you were doing something otherworldly and ridiculous again. I'm going to enjoy this
Her laugh after the ad plays is the most evil thing I've ever heardđ
Hello, by the way most people back then would put their socks and shoes on before putting a corset on because of the limit in movement.
Thank you for finally giving corsets the love and justice they truly deserve!!!! I also love advocating for them and I love how much they help my posture!! Thank you!!!! I would also like to wish everyone a magical week and good luck with 2021!!
I made myself a made-to-measure corset and still wear it. Made to measure is soooo undervalued, especially in the corset department!
how did you do it?
what's that?đ€
The skill share ad..I literally said to myself âellbat i swe-â then ope ad.
Hi! Thank you for coming back to this topic! I've been a huge fan of corsets for a long time an it's always super great to see people learning more about them.
It's only the second video of you that I watch (I haven't seen your previous corset video), and I'm glad I did ! It's really nice and positive to see someone taking in consideration other people's opinions and advices, in order to learn, and be open to try again something that had been a displeasing experience in the past ! :)
I'd love to try and wear a corset however during lockdown I have unfortunately been living so long in my pajamas I fear they've become apart of my skin :(
Lemme tell ya, since Covid and working from home has been a thing for me for the past year, I've worn nothing but pajamas and (recently) my corset. Comfy clothes are perfect when you're getting used to and seasoning a new corset!
A corset in pajamas then
Well, you need something under the corset anyway, so why not said pjs!
I'm so glad you redid this video! Corsets done properly are so damn comfortable... and nothing better than it being a cold day you get a nice warm hug under your jumper. I make my own corsets and the odd one for a friend but I learned how to draft my own patter based on my measurements. A bespoke corset is probably what you'd need if you were to wear a corset over your hips again because it won't try and pull in on bone! Awesome video :D
i made a corset this summer out of some denim and although it isn't perfect (i learned a lot as I went), I really love wearing it on days that i need better posture or just for fun. one thing i really like about it is that wearing tie skirts (as opposed to elastic waistbands) is wayyy more comfortable with a corset since it's already keeping your waist one size and so the skirt doesn't pinch
I love the cotton coutil, but want to try denim. I like over stitching with different patterns like Japanese boro, so that color is a great traditional look with that style.
OH MY GOD she was talking about skillshare and how there are no ads, no annoying interru- and then an ad came in đ€Ł Perfect timing
She put it there for the joke xD
@@tofu4784 I commented that and then AFTER the comment did I realise it was on purpose đ€Łđ€Ł oh well, im keeping it posted đ
âYou may be experiencing some deja vu, reading this titleâ
Me: oh my god sheâs a mind reader....
Yay!!! i am sooo proud you made this video. I remember i commented on the last one, and i am no expert and quite a beginner myself actually, but you responded to my comment. You said you had a new video in the makes, i am so happy it is finally out. Hearing your actual opinion, educated and doing it to the best of your abilities, as correctly as possible, really makes me want to invest in a corset myself. I love the humor you sprinkle in, i hope your channel, and you, continue to grow.
Glad to see you take criticism so well and correct your mistakes!! So happy to see that. I'm waiting on my corset to arrive, I'm very excited â€ïž
As a plant mom sometimes I feel like I put more effort into supporting the health of my plants than I do into my own physical and mental health
I certainly do. It helps my depression
please remember to look after yourself !! you're just as deserving of care
I was watching your previous vid for corsets like half an hour ago lol
Thanks Ellbat - admitting to mistakes is not easy - you did a great job fixing it there! I am also motivated to keep sewing my corset after hearing how it helped your posture! All the best to you!
Your other corset video has been popping up in my feed and it always made me so sad because I know how a good corset should feel and that video adds to the mis information around corsets. So watching this video has made me so happy! Thank you for doing some more research! đ
ellbat feels like the big sister i never had, and I'm so grateful for that
*laughs in scoliosis back brace*
Sameee I have to wear one for another year and a half
*nervous laughter*
This video makes me so happy! I just recently watched your other video and I'm happy to see you redo it, this one was much more informative and I honestly might start wearing a corset after watching this.
I have been on the lookout for a good supportive corset for a while to help with my posture, and I'm very happy to see that the one you wore is so affordable!
I think I'll be buying it.
LOL Yeah. There's a reason why this fashion statement has been around for so very long. It works! Even today we still make medical garments for support when we're injured, or do a lot of lifting, or have a medical condition, etc. that are, essentially corsets. For women and men alike. When done right, they're brilliant!
%100!!!
this corset outfit looks very âšbisexual pirateâš
This was very interesting to watch and I learned quite a bit considering I want to order an underbust corset for my prom outfit:) so thank you so muc!!!
I appreciate that you took a step back and reassessed your approach to corsets, most corset-wearers are very passionate about their reasons for wearing corsets, so it's nice to see someone try them out safely. Also, for any corset info check out Lucy Corsetry.
Move over Keira Knightley, Ellbat is our new pirate queen
I just got out of a long term residential mental health facility and Iâm glad I can watch you again.
Congratulations, dear!
Congrats!!!!
i came to ur channel originally from corset gate so im very excited for this and proud of how far youâve come
So glad to see you redo this â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž another thing that will help is limiting use and building. 2-3 hours to start and growing to 8+ hours over like two months makes it much easier for frequent wearing. Would love an update on the future!
I'm proud of you for learning from your previous mistakes and actually trying it again instead of just sacking it off like a lot of other people tend to do.
Also you look fly af and I'm very jealous
I just realized when other youtubers talk about the sponsorship I skip through it. BUT WHEN ELLBAT talks about it she makes it so interesting and cracks jokes I JUST LOVE HERđđ
This makes me so happy - I really try my best to make sponsorships entertaining even if it makes them a little longer. thank you so much !!
I'm glad you made this video. I remember stumbling upon your first video and being disappointed with the lack of information. I really love corseting! I've been wearing a corset for about half a year now and I see a huge difference in my figure and it helps me stand straight as well. Beginners should season the corset before wearing it for hours on hours. Also, a little tip is when you wear a corset you want to try not to bend in it because it will mess up the corset, so you should put your pants and shoes on before the corset.
This video made me so happy to see because not only did you admit that you didnât do your research to properly represent what you were talking about (which is more than I can say for a lot of youtubers) but you came back and did your research to represent it properly, correcting your mistake and I love that! Also good choice with the black boots
