I finally found a cute corset that fits my plus-size body, but my boobs were spilling out faster than I can pour a drink
PLUS-SIZE women with boobs often struggle to find a corset that accommodates their curves.
But one body-positive lady has found a cute one from Shein.
There were some issues, however, with her boobs spilling out faster than she could pour a drink.
She handled the situation with aplomb and accepted such drama generally goes with the territory.
Chelly (@itschellyanne) has 124,000 followers on her TikTok.
But this post focussed on her "corset challenge."

As any larger woman with big boobs will attest, finding a corset that holds the girls securely in place is hard to come by.
“Find a cute corset that fits my Guatemalanness," she joked, referencing a film and not her ethnicity.
One of the characters in The Birdcage (1996), starring Robin Williams, wonders if their natural assets are too much for everyone else.
The character, Agador says: "My Guatemalan-ness, my natural heat. You're afraid I'm too primitive to be on the stage with your little estrogen rockettes, right?"
As far as Chelly was concerned her rockets were struggling to say contained.
“Not able to pick things up off the floor with it on," she cried.
Bending over was proving to be an occupational hazard in this number.
“They be pouring out faster than I can pour a drink," she laughed as her corset was made to work for its money.
“This is my first one. I didn’t want to spend a fortune on one until I had tried one," she explained.
Commenters had some advice for her: “Steel bones, ma’am, steel bones," urged this person.
Wrong corset, said this viewer: “If your corset can’t handle you bending over, you need a higher quality one. I recommend double steel-boned, three-layer brocade corset.”
And another suggested a closer fit: “Tie that corset tighter and they won’t budge. If you can breathe, it’s not tight enough."
