This really IS an effective way to make your waistline smaller. The idea of food right now makes me want to throw up. :lulz:
It also managed to push all of the fat from my stomach into my FUPA, so now I have a SUPA FUPA. Gross.
Oh well, I do this shit for science. In 4 months after wearing this every day I should be able to close it.
Also: Slouching in a computer chair = Don't even try it. I don't think I could get back up if I tried.
:fap: :fap:
To be honest, some part of me wishes those were still fashionable to wear as undergarments (read: not as lingere, but as liek rly rl underwear)
Then the other part of me bitchslaps the other part and reminds it being able to breathe is good.
Here it is with a shirt over it, check out my Victorian badonkadonk!:

I think it's starting to break my ribs already.
OH LAWD! It's not even laced that tight yet!
Did you make it? Or did you buy?
I bought it. I don't have the patience needed for period corsetry, and this thing is no joke. 26 spiral stays, steel busk, and 4 steel bars in the back along the ties. This thing has the power to squeeze mountains in half.
Okay, wearing my hoodie now over all my layers. I'm feeling a lot of pressure on my lower ribs. I think I may need to take it off and adjust the laces, because I don't really feel like deliberately breaking my ribs for a figure.
I understand the pain, and I appreciate the effort...
DAAAAAYYYYUUUMMM...
From where I'm sitting, it's worth the effort.
LMNO
-if I stand up, I'll knock over my co-worker's coffee cup-- in the next cubicle over.
pffft non-broken ribs are for pansies!
Where did you buy? I sorta want one too now

Probably the most affordable REAL corset you can get on the market.

It's not laced THAT tight. I'm not stupid. I have it tight enough to make a difference and be supportive, but not cut any organs in half. I have to squeeze the air out of my intestines first before I can actually start pulling in my waist.
Dammit, you need to record those farts.

If you try to fence in that, remember I've been to Singapore. I'm certain Dave and Enzo have too.
Oh I am NOT fencing in this. I can't move.
Looks good. :)
I kind of want one, but A) I am broke and B) I don't know how much it would actually do for me so it would actually be worth it.
I read somewhere that there are a lot of people in Middle Management that are into waist training. Of corset might've been something else.
I have no idea how much I pulled off of my waist, and I'm frightening to think about it. All I know is that it's a 30" corset, and I still have a gap in the back. I probably COULD close it, but I wouldn't be happy.

I just took it off. I can see this is going to be something I have to ease into gradually.
Now 'scuse me while the oxygen returns to my brain.

Yeah...

HOLY KNITTED POOMP
There's nothing holy about colostomies. And if they are indeed holy, we're gonna have an awful mess on our hands once that tube fills up.
I should just do this the period way and get my lower ribs surgically removed and eat a tapeworm.

The curtain dress! YAY!
now im wondering how small i can squeeze my waist :lol:
lets all get corsets and re-arrange our organs to have smaller waists!
True fact: wearing a corset or waist-cincher after childbirth helps you regain your figure way, way faster. It pushes all those stretched-out stomach muscles back into place and supports them there while they contract and heal. I wore one after all three pregnancies and I lost that "shapeless potato" look in record time, which is to say, about a week.
It's incredibly supportive on the back as well.
I still feel weird. I need to get some food in my belly and adjust how I want it to fit better.
my grandma did that Nigel, and got her figure back every time. If I am ever knocked up, I'll be doing the same. Till then corsets I think are going to be reserved for sexytiem and ren faires. :fap:

It completely works! Grandmas are pretty smart most of the time. They know shit.
So tomorrow I'm going to try to leave it on for a full 4 hours after work. I'm nervous about wearing it while working until I'm a bit more comfortable with moving in it in case we get slammed.
I also need to work on lacing myself into it, because without General Stuart here I'm shit out of luck otherwise. (The other roommates have already voiced their disapproval...Good god we need to get out of here ASAP.)

If it's laced right there should be two loops to grab onto. They should meet at the waist. Grab those and pull, then tighten the bottom and top with one hand as you pull the loops with the other.
You''l get good at it after some practice

I bet if I told Wyden and Kennedy's 12 about it, they would approve.
lacing oneself into a corset is hard work. Had to do it by myself the other day and it was no fun. :p
Corsets are the single most conflicted thing in reenactment.
A) They are TEH awesome and make TEH awesome curves and cleavage
B) Its a horrible thing for someone to do to themselves. Or at least, it seems horrible to me... I'm skinny and I don't like tight doublets all that much ;-)

does wearing corsets make you not hungry? cause i am wearing a wide tight belt thang today and it made me not get hungry
IIRC yeah they suppress your appetite and encourage you to eat less. Since they're, you know, squeezing your insides out.
I can't wear anything like that for an extended period of time due to my phlebitis. :( Blood clots bad.

Yes.
When I've tight-laced before if I ate too much it made me want to throw up. It's like a lap-band, only surgery not required!
Bah .. I've been doing this crap since I was knee high to an acorn. It's how I keep my lovely squirrelish figure.

I too like to pretend I'm an Ethiopian villager at very very high altitude.
Yesterday I wore the sucker for 6 hours. I'm going to put it on today as well. I already can't eat as much as I typically would without it on and I think it's starting to push my floaty ribs in more. I can now close the top of it after I've been wearing it for a while and the fabric warms up/my body adjusts, but my hips are too big for the bottom, which is fine. I can't wear it closed all day, because that would be really uncomfortable, so I leave about a 2" gap in the laces. Just enough to feel compressed, but nothing that is really putting pressure on my lungs or my ability to function normally.
Once I can get up to 8 hours of wear (6 hours was pushing it yesterday, I wasn't quite ready for it.) I'm going to try to wear it at work.

Then again, eating less is a bad idea. :x
I just wore it for a walk down to Salvation Army and back. It's a big snug today. I need to learn to try to get it the same every day.
this makes me want to buy one of those suckers. Will do when I'm not poor. MOAR SUU PICS
I'm not wearing it today. I know that I should, but I have to work tonight and I think it's starting to take a toll on my digestive system, so I need to start watching what I'm eating now.
Tapeworms, naturally.
No, just my gall bladder as predicted.
I ordered one last week and it arrived today. I haven't worn a real one since the one I made in high school. I'm on hour two and doing fine. The trick to getting it laced as tightly as possible without it being uncomfortable is taking your time. Lace it up until it's *snug*. Then take 15-30 minutes to relax into it. Walk around a bit and stretch. Let your skin and organs have a chance to reposition themselves as naturally as possible under the corset. Then lace it a little tighter. Repeat until it is as tight as you want it to be. If you do it right you won't feel faint or breathless. Also, some people aren't very good at lacing it by themselves. One of the common tips is to use a door knob. I'm sure you've heard that before. I already have exceptional posture and a decent waistline so I'm not feeling that so much. However, it's very disconcerting having my girls so close to my chin. :lulz:
Sorry for posting so late. You probably could've used the tips a little earlier. Good luck and keep updating on your progress.
