enable you to put on the corset but it does not enable you to
tighten it up
to its "correct" snugness. And you cannot get the thing on if the
laces are
pulled up to their tight position. The split busk is actually for
taking the
damn thing off more than for getting it on correctly.
I have to disagree. I am able to put on my corset and tighten it
myself with the 2 part corset.
Loosen the laces.
Wrap the corset around you.
Hook up the front.
Keep adjusting your anatomy as you slowly pull the corset to its
correct tightness.
I suspect if you are a size 22 like I am, and are trying for an 18
inch waist, no amount of help will make the corset that tight! The
corset will shape you for the Period, which is why I was told you
needed to wear one in Period Attire.
