The sought after hourglass figure is often attained with the aid of garments such as the corset , waist cincher or waist trainer. These emphasize the natural curves of the body, but can also cause discomfort and injury. While using garments such as these, it is important to prioritize the comfort and safety of the wearer.

With its simple and elegant design, it can be worn outside your shirts, tops or dresses for a distinctive style and is easy to create!

The Reversible + 2 in 1 Crochet Waist Cincher also doubles as a crochet summer bandeau style corset top, providing an extra push around the cleavage area. The crochet fabric is reversible, with one side having a defined and bumpy look while the other side has a smoother look.

Let’s start creating this versatile crochet project!
