Corset Flossing
Today, corset flossing is a tradition that has been alive for hundreds of years and has not lost its popularity yet. For those people who are looking for waist training corsets with or without flossing, our store provides them embroidery corsets, corset detailing and corset flossing designs.
What Is Corset Flossing?
Flossing was invented by the Victorians, and its purpose was to extend the usage of corsets. Corset detailing enhanced the boning channels’ endings, while also considering the aesthetic fashion aspect. It was equally important for old fashioned vintage corset dresses to be beautiful, so corset embroidery was developed not only for corsets reinforcement but also for decorative corsets purposes. Victorians flossed their corsets, and it is a known fact that they had special machines to floss their factory made corsets. This made corset flossing designs longer lasting and unique. But nowadays, vintage corsets and victorian corsets are mostly hand embroidery flossed and flossing is incorporated in a number of techniques on old fashioned corsets.
Learning to Hand Embroidery Floss
Flossing can be done by hand, and corset detailing is a great idea for making your waist corsets truly unique. Although our steel boned corsets are designed with lovely corset decorations, so they do not need embroidery on corsets, you may decide to add flossing at some points of open bust corsets or full bust corsets. If you still do not know how to floss a corset, our Pinterest page or TikTok is the place to go. Most of the videos on decorative stitching, embroidery detailing and stylized stitching of corsets are very helpful, you will learn what you need to do in order to get the outcome that you desire.
