One of the best things I learned in costuming grad school was about the existence of corset bodies and how they're used to make celebrities look effortless in their gowns that would clearly be a pain to wear in real life. I use mine for cosplay and it's very much upped my cosplay game in both how it looks and how it helps me exist in my costumes!

I mentioned this a few times in the video but you do not have to use this garment to make yourself smaller! It's also very useful for other reasons like providing structure to your costumes and preventing wardrobe malfunctions, please don't feel like you can only be a good cosplayer if you squish yourself into a corset.

I don't have videos for either of the costumes at the end of the video, those were made before I started uploading to YouTube but I have a couple costumes planned for Katsucon that will probably need to be built over a corset body so keep an eye out for those!
