Huh. A flaming dress sounds more metal though

Fires accounted for 3000 deaths a year (with small population sizes too)

You should feel terrible if a liposuction would result in something less horrfying then....

Like, oh god. How do her organs work?

The organs shift mostly, they're not really anchored to anything, and while they don't break the bones if done properly they can cause them to deform.

That second picture really hurts to look at holy shit. That must be unimaginably painful.

This just makes me cringe reading it.

Jesus christ. Not only is that disgusting and unhealthy looking, but it can't be particularly pleasent-feeling.

I mean excrement sorta has to travel through the intestines. If its all bunched up like string I dont think it's going to have an easy time!

 

[Feline Darkmage]

This was more terrifying than I expected.

Thanks internet.

Whereas a properly worn corset should provide support, much like a bra, you're always going to have idiots who go overboard for fashion.

I don't know where the hell I heard it but I was under the impression that women today who are over a certain cup size and have issues with support in bras could consider a corset for better back support and shit (and that there's people who will make them to hold up to that kinda daily use). Out of curiosity, is that actually the case?

I'm guessing that's a damn sight different than this shitshow, though. Jesus, this really does hurt to look at. Why would you actually want to do this to yourself?

You know when people talk about hourglass figures, they don't mean it literally. That's something these ladies should understand cause hoh shit.

I've worn corsets for various social functions. They're not comfortable, and after a few hours I start to feel it in my sternum.
The exact sensation is something similar to the feeling of the center of my chest being pushed down by an unrelenting weight.
Also, even after the corset has been removed, my outer ribs can be sore for days afterwards.
But, I only wear it every now and then. I can't even imagine the kind of uncomfortable hell they'd have to go through for tightlacing.

The first chick isn't Spook is it?

I've been wondering what happened to her.

 

[NeverHappened]

Responsible corset wearing may comfortable with certain body types as I'm very sure bones are the main obstacle. You got to find the thing that works for you. For myself however, I know that I wouldn't want people to notice my naturally feminine hourglass body.

 

[GV 998]

Disgusting. Ok, someone needs to let these women know guys don't want a LITERAL Jessica Rabbit. We just like the big tits. We don't want these....outright CARTOON-LIKE proportions in a woman

 

[ShavedSheep]

And then there's corset piercings

And then there's corset piercings

I'm just going to veto that line of inquiry right now.

In the past couple of months, I've seen several videos of girls who undergo this kind of waist training to make themselves have skinnier waists. Some of them, like this young woman go in such wild directions with it that she's ended up with lots of scarring and her own digestive system changing in a bad way. She's from France and she was featured on the Barcroft TV YouTube channel. There are several videos on that YouTube channel about other woman who have done this that I'll include here too.

Corseting has a history dating back as far as the 16th century where the corset was meant to flatten a woman's bustline. The corsets that were made back then were made out of whalebone, horn and buckram and were rigid in their construction. It had a different purpose back then and many aristocrats would wear these to have a conical shape with their bodies, like in this painting of Queen Elizabeth the First.

Spoiler

Over the centuries, the ideal shape for women wearing these corsets changed and bodices became more in favor over the corset. There's obviously a lot more to the history but the point is that this has been around forever and there's been a resurgence in interest in wearing corsets again, even though brassieres and other attire became more popular from what I understand. Correct me if I'm wrong. For more history, check out these cool links.

Also, a Quora link explaining why people have taken such great interests in corsets again.

Cringe at the fat chick in the 3rd video. A corset will never compensate for your body size.

To be fair, much of her body size come from breast implants. She at least seems to understand that it's a ratio.

not this one lol.

She's wearing a flaring a-line skirt because the belly fat gets squeezed down below the corset like a tube of toothpaste.

I think this thread is not complete without mentioning this woman:

Spoiler: AVERT THINE EYES - THOU HAST BEEN NOTIFIED

The woman pictured above, 71-year-old Cathie Jung, does actually have a wasp-like waist of the sort that Victorian women were rumored to have achieved through dangerous surgical procedures. Indeed, since 1999 she has held the Guinness World Records title for "Smallest Waist on a Living Person," possessing a waistline measured at 15 inches (a figure that is commonly described as "about the same size as a regular jar of mayonnaise"). And she did in fact attain her tiny waistline through a form of body modification, but it did not involve rib removal or any other form or surgery.
