50s shapewear
I have a flair for the 1950s, however i have not been blessed with the hourglass shape
I have tried a corset, (namely the libby off timeless trends) however my issue is i am in a gap in the market, I'm too curvy for the slim designs and so they would do nothing for me in terms of reduction, but I'm not curvy enough for the libby which is rather unique in its proportions (+ the turn to my ilyac crest isnt sharp enough so my left hip goes numb if i try to wear it with a small gap so i have a ridiculous amount of flair at the ribs and hips)
Now I'm looking into merry widows, which ive heard were designed to "cinch" + im presuming in terms of size they are a little more flexible, ive in an ad ive seen ive heard people have gotten 2-3 inches off but wanted to ask on peoples experiences
Not to mention, how on earth are you soposed to wash them, is it a handwash/handwash machine situation, do you wear somthing underneath like with corsets or what
