No. Not pretty at all.

She just looks deformed.

That's so extreme and unnatural, that it's not attractive. It's freakish. Women used to have their lower ribs removed to achieve that look. A normal hourglass figure in a fitted dress is curvy and attractive enough.

It looks as if, when the corset is removed, she would just fold at the waist like a folding chair. She looks like a freak.

My wedding dress had a corset to it, which looked rather nice and made me look much thinner then I was at the time. That photo however just looks wrong.

It's nice to have a small waist but not like hers, it's really too small it doesn't look good any more.

Love corsets too because it helps give definition to the waist and helps cover up some love handles.

In general corsets are nice, but I think the woman pictured here is too extreme.

That.

Her corseting is so extreme it's probably unhealthy and gives corsets a bad name. More women should try them, if their body fat is close to ideal and the waist is still broad. Healthier than constant dieting or becoming anorexic.
