whether you choose to hang them up or
fold them neatly in your drawer today
we're going to talk about a corset
storage
hey guys it's Morgan with PDS and
relationships in education welcome to
another corset video today we are going
to talk about how to store your corsets
this will be the first in a couple of
videos that we'll be talking about
corset care but storing your corset
properly will go a long ways to maintain
its you know integrity making sure that
it stays in good shape and that lasts as
long as possible
so I prefer I'm going to open up my
closet here and show you what's inside
because I prefer to hang my corsets when
I have the space so welcome to one of my
closets thankfully my apartment has a
lot of different closets so you can see
here on this is some of my corset
collection hanging here in the closet
with some of my other sort of more
finishing clothing so this is one option
thankfully in this apartment I have a
lot of different closets and a lot of
closet space because again this is my
preferred method for storing my corsets
and it's really quite simple and easy to
do so I'm going to take this one off the
hanger so that I can show you guys so
first thing I want to show you is the
hangers that I'm using this one has sort
of a little like faux velvet covering so
I suggest using something like this
because if you're just going to use the
wire ones like those are no good for
anything I don't know why anybody has a
wire hangers and I say this as a person
who has a my boy has wire hangers like
everywhere and I keep trying to throw
them out and he freaks out because he
thinks that they're just fine
so wire hanger is just kind of suck so
you could use plastic ones I don't
really like the plastic ones because
corsets tend to be very heavy and they
can be just too heavy for plastic
hangers you could also use I'm just
looking to see if I've got any in here
and I don't you could also use wooden
hangers that have like a thick wooden
dowel at the bottom so that you know the
whole type that are made
foreleg winter coats or heavier jackets
that sort of thing because a good
quality corset is going to wait quite a
bit so when we are storing courses and
this is true whether we are talking
about you know folding them in the
drawer or hanging them on a hanger I
like to fold the corset or have them
stored with the fashion fabric so the
outside of the the corset folded inwards
so you can see this is the outside so
when I hang it I want it to hang this
way so that it's only the inside of the
corset that is exposed now I'm doing
this for a couple of reasons the first
is that it protects the fashion fabric
now this is just a cotton corset so
cotton stands up pretty good I don't
have to worry about protecting it but if
it was silver brocade or something like
that it is a bit more delicate I would
definitely want to protect that fabric
the other reason is that or one of the
other reasons is that it helps again
protect it just from stains or anything
like um you know in your closet or in
your drawer it shouldn't be exposed to
like you know a you know a soda pop you
spilled or something weird like that but
you just never know and I like you can't
wash corsets easily or if at all so I
like to make sure that they just don't
get dirty in the first place the other
reason is that it allows the inside of
the corset so the part that is going to
be the closest to my skin and I never
ever wear a corset without a liner
underneath of it should not wear corsets
directly against your skin but we'll
talk about that in the next video but um
it's going to protect or allow this to
air out and dry if it does you know get
a little sweaty or damp or anything like
that so that is my reasoning for storing
them in this way so to put it on the
hanger now I don't have any equal corset
yet there so I'm just going to like how
wiggle this a little bit to get it a
little more even because it'll hang on
the hanger a bit better there we go so
you can have this where it's open all
the way like this or where it's tighter
it really doesn't matter the idea here
is that we are
going to put it through the hangar so
let's see if my arms are long enough but
I'm just basically bringing the hangar
up like this and then I'm going to be
hanging the corset on the laces because
the leases aren't going to get damaged
by this but if I you know put the corset
like on here part of that on the hanger
like attending this kind of way um you
know it just it doesn't allow it to hang
freely and the gain this way it allows
it to air out if it needs to and it just
also won't interfere with any of the
bones and it's the easiest way to let it
hang so again I could tighten up the the
laces I just like to leave them open
like this because I need it open like
this to put it on so I hate having to
like tighten up a corset well I'm not in
it loosen up a corset before I get into
it it just is a lot of extra work I
can't be bothered to do so I just hang
mine like this and then it just goes in
the closet and ideally you want to give
it a bit of space you know on either
side now I have a lot of corsets here
I've got a lot of other stuff in the
closet so they are packed fairly tightly
so if I had just worn this corset I
wouldn't put it directly into the closet
I would hang it you saw I had it hanging
here on my st. Andrew's cross you could
hang it on there you could hang it on
the top of the closet or whatever just
so that it gives a chance to ear out
before and dry out before you pack it
away now not everybody has this kind of
closet space I understand that like I
said I know I'm really lucky with this
apartment that I have so much closet
space um in Toronto for some reason
apartments do not come with like any
closets whatsoever it is the weirdest
thing I haven't seen it in other cities
that they've lived in butter on Oh it's
closets apparently so um if you are
living in a place like that where there
just doesn't seem to be any closet space
at all then you're going to have to put
your corsets in a drawer so it's the
same basic idea so in this one
it'll be a little easier to show because
this is a has a pinstripe on one side
and just cotton twill on the other so
and again my these laces are all the way
open so it's you know quite a bit there
but you're going to have the lace is
hanging down one way or the other so
again I just like to leave it open cuz
that's how I needed to put it on so it's
just easier that way so I'm going to
fold I'm going to take the busk and I'm
going to put it fashion layer to the
inside and just kind of fold it in half
and then I'm going to kind of use the
modesty panel here to kind of tuck up
the laces now you don't have to you can
again do whatever you like with the
laces but I'm just going to sort of have
them hanging there and then I'm going to
fold that over I'm basically going to
end up folding the corset in thirds so
there is where the lacing panel is so
I'm going to fold that inwards then I'm
going to take the bus and fold that over
again and you can see and I've got a bit
of the bus poking out here which isn't a
big deal but you could alter that and
fiddle around with it so that it's all
covered but basically you have a nice
little flat corset sandwich and the nice
thing about folding them this way is
that even with extremely curvy corsets
it will fold a big nicer this way and a
bit flatter because like a proper curvy
corset is not going to sit flat ever but
this will help them sit a bit flatter so
it's now all nice and folded and I can
put it in the drawer just like this I
would want to make sure that this either
goes into a drawer on its home with only
other corsets with it or perhaps into a
lingerie drawer where it's going to be
other delicate things with it and I'm
not going to be rummaging around and
like you know knocking in and rubbing
jeans or anything heavy-duty like
heavier fabrics like that against it you
don't want to do that now the other
thing is that a lot of people will sell
corset bags so it's just like a little
satin bag usually it's satin or silk but
a nice soft material and then you can
slide the corset into the bag and put it
in the drawer now I don't have any of
these because again I prefer to hang my
corsets rather than put them in the
drawer like this I really should either
make some or pick them up but it's
basically just a bag a simple bag with a
drawstring at the top that will fit your
corset and that will also help protect
it and keep it clean so there is how you
would just stack that in your drawer
along with all your other corsets or
with your other lingerie or whatever and
it just is a simple way and it doesn't
take up a lot of space which is nice and
a simple way to store your corsets so
there are two options for you for
storing your corsets if you only wear
your corsets very occasionally you could
also put them into a plastic bag to
further protect them just make sure that
they are completely dry before you put
them away I would give them at least 24
to 48 hours hanging just - I like to
make sure that they are totally dry
before you put them in a plastic bag and
I try to avoid doing that but sometimes
I mean I have costumes and stuff in
plastic bags because they just aren't
worn very often and it's the easiest way
to keep them clean and dust and anything
else so there you go there's a couple of
options for storing your corsets and the
next course a video will be about corset
care so like basically how to look after
them and how to keep them from getting
dirty so anyways thanks very much for
