Also, a Ghanaian TV host and entrepreneur, Aba Dope, was seen at the wedding of gospel singer, Moses Bliss, rocking a classy traditional outfit made with a corset. Her tiny waist was on display as she moved freely with the beautiful attire.

Celebs who struggled in corset outfits

At the Lisabi movie premiere on Wednesday, September 27, 2024, actress Juliana Oloyede, showed difficulty in breathing properly as she rocked a corset outfit to the event.

She looked gorgeous in the outfit she combined with a ‘gele’. However, when she sat, she felt uncomfortable and it appeared the outfit was disturbing her breathtaking.

In another case, TheTalk.NG earlier reported that actress Bimbo Ademoye turned up for a movie premiere rocking a traditional outfit that was designed with a corset. Just like Juilana, Bimbo looked uncomfortable in her outfit.

How to wear corsets easily

Sharing from his expertise point of view, fashion illustrator and designer Mimi Okeren said:

1. Corset is a beautiful trend

“Corset is beautiful, trending, and every woman wants to wear it. As a lady, you need to understand the corset that works for you. If you have a big stomach, you can do a corset but one can add some designs to hide the protruding stomach. That snatch*ed effect is not for everyone especially if you have a big stomach. At this point, stay away from the corset and wear something comfortable.”

2. Comfort is important

“You can be fashionable but you have to consider comfort which is your number one priority. Corsets most times require some inches to be taken away from the waist and some ladies above two inches because they want it to be extremely tight. The more tight the corset, the more your figure will be displayed.

3. Listen to your stylist

“At the same time, if your stomach has a lot of fat, just do away with the corset or do not snatch your waist too much. However, some clients are very stubborn. As a designer, at times I give them ideas but some clients insist they want theirs which is not advisable. In the end, you see them at events struggling and feeling uncomfortable. At times, the boning of the corset would bulge out. It does not make sense.”

Speaking on his take on how ladies should wear corsets, he said:

“Ladies should learn to wear what suits their body structure and shape. Corsets may not necessarily make you comfortable but there is a way one can play around it.”

Mimi Okeren speaks about Veekee James

TheTalk.NG earlier reported that Mimi had opened up about his plans and noted he looks forward to more international clients.

The celebrity stylist stated that he has worked with other fashion designers including Veekee James and Ceo Lumine, among others.

He also expressed gratitude to actress Mercy Aigbe for supporting his brand and other designers who have been there for him.
