This looks pretty similar to the lacing on my corsets. The material is very important. If they lacing is cotton they will wear out very quickly. The picture on the Timeless Trends website looks like cotton, but you'll better be able to tell after they arrive.

By the way, I can give you some tips on solo lacing if you'd like. There are lots of examples on YouTube but most of them are just wrong or overly difficult. It's actually quite easy to lace yourself *very tightly* in a corset.

Thanks! And please do! I suspect I won't be getting any help even if I asked for it, so solo is how it's gunna have to be. Though I'm obviously going to be wearing it fairly loose for a little bit as I let the corsets wear in. Slowly tightening down over time.

BTW... Impatience is SO not a "masculine" trait! I know plenty of very patient men and plenty of very impatient women. And the opposite. It's just a personal trait to YOU. There's a chance though that PM could help. Even more though, transitioning. I'm finding that I'm getting a lot more patient than I used to be, and I doubt it's all from hormones, or even largely so. Most of my past impatience was a direct result of me just not being comfortable with myself.

EDIT: I think I'll wait 'till I get my corsets on Friday and check them out before ordering any replacement cords... even if the cords are cotton or something else not very strong they won't wear out THAT quick that waiting a few weeks would hurt much.
