tightlacing, corsetry

[Just Mandy]

I looked into it and decided for me it was too much to wear every day for 16 hours. And the results
I believe go away if you do not continue to wear it after you have gotten where you want to
be. I'll just have no defined waist if that's my only choice. I do think for me lipo will help
to give me a bit of waist definition. My body fat is not where Annwyn's is, but I do
have a flat tummy but there is some fat on the sides that I think will make a difference.

tightlacing, corsetry?

Sounds too uncomfortable to me and I'm not too keen on discomfort.....isn't there other alternatives in gaining a better shape?

Yes Berliegh, there are, But they certainly wouldn't be my choice like Fat injections, Implants, Rib removal and god forbid silicone injections. So there isn't much choice than diet and exercise and or corsetry.
With the corsets you get used to it after a while. I would rather deal with the discomfort for a while than costantly have injections, getting sliced open and getting sick from silicone injections.  Nope that's not for me and I certainly wouldn't recommend it.

Karla...I would hate it...I wear tight tops and tight jeans and I wouldn't want something like that cutting into me. Besides it might show through and that would look rediculas if I was out somewhere....

I just saw a woman on Oprah who holds the Guinness World Record for the smallest waist . 15 inches. She wears the corset 23 hours per day and has been doing so for years. She says she wears it for everything, including fishing.  Interesting picture.

But I thought, as she was walking away that her body looked very deformed. I am not sure how to explain it but it looked like curve of her buttocks and hips were much lower than they should be; as if there were some other body part with which I am not familiar inserted between that tiny waist and the beginning of the hips. Not just an inch or two but more like 10 inches. Weird.

she's kinda fat.

srsly, even though it's thin up there, it's all down there.  like eeew.

It's not the greatest angle, but it looks like Cathie's corset has a stem waist to it.  Not a big stem, but it still looks like it's there. I think that partly contributes to the unusual appearance that you noticed. 
The other thing I think that makes it look unusual is the way Cathie's abdomen is accented.  Her waist is much smaller than it would be normally, even with a corset.  The bones in the pelvis don't compress, and you can't compress the abdomen too much, so Cathie has a much more exaggerated line between waist and hips.  At the abdomen, you can't compress that much, since your guts are in there.  You can squish your waist as much as you want, but you can't squish your guts.

That's extreem! wow! I don't think that looks very attractive.   She probably needs to wear it for 23 hrs to keep her standing strait, If she took it off she might kink over.
