Who they were (in their words)

The LISA CORSETRY SITE promotes the concept that there is little more erotically artistic than women clad in what is popularly known as "Victorian" corsetry. It does everything it can to further the use and acceptance of these rear-laced garments. We depend upon our fellow aficionados and enthusiasts to update or correct erroneous information. (One can appreciate the magnitude of verifying such). Please feel free to contact LISA with input.

FURTHERMORE, LISA views itself as a repository for contemporary and historical information regarding corsets and corsetry. In that light, please feel free to forward any information and material that would further that concept. We feel obliged to credit the source of such contributions, unless otherwise directed.

NOTE THAT A PORTION OF WHAT IS HERE AT THIS SITE IS COPYRIGHTED. HOWEVER, SHOULD YOU LIKE TO USE ANY OF THE NON-COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL FOR YOUR SITE, WE ASK ONLY THAT YOU LINK TO LISA AS A COURTESY. IF YOU DO, LET US KNOW, AND LISA. WILL CONSIDER A MUTUAL LINK. IT IS REQUESTED THAT IMAGES BE REDUCED IN SIZE, WITH A LINK TO THE FULL-SIZED IMAGE LOCATED AT THIS SITE.

We are very saddened to hear of the passing of Thomas Lierse, the founder of the Long Island Staylace Association. Tom's website was one of the very first educational corsetry sites in the world (established 1996!); it was Staylace, along with Romantasy (which has retired and gone offline since June 2020) that provided a foundation and jumping-off point for my own corset research, especially pertaining to waist training and physical effects of corseting.
Staylace was arguably the reason why my very first YouTube video went viral 11 years ago, so I owe much of my early success to Tom's signal boost. The website platform might have been old-school but his devoted corset community was progressive and non-gatekeeping. Here is one of my favorite pages from his enormous website (there are no answers as to the fate of this website in the coming months):
