Getting out of a Victorian Corset

When taking off the corset the temptation is to unclip the busks when the lacing is still tight. Some busks will come open but then the pressure and tension is transferred to the ones still closed. This can cause bending of the steel busk and damage to the pins. Ensure the lacing is free of tension before opening the front of the corset. Tell tale signs of a corset taken off too early are bent busks in the middle section of the corset.
