What do you think of a corset waist? Pretty? Something else? Would you want somekind of waist? Why? Why not?

My opinion, that's too overdone to be pretty. I do like the look of a corseted waist, but not so extreme. I've got a few corsets myself, but even fully cinched, I never go beyond 5" smaller than natural (and I've got a few extra pounds; that gal pictured is very lean otherwise). I would guess she's cinched in at 8-10" smaller than natural.

I cannot imagine that to be good for your internal organs.

I love corsets, but only use them when I want an 'extreme' figure, since I'm already fairly hourglass shaped. Vintage 'wiggle' dresses are usually what I'll corset with, but it's not an everyday look and even then I'm going purely by shape and not by 'inches lost'.

What an incredibly unhealthy look. It makes me sad that we women are so pressured to disfigure ourselves.

I love the corset but not like that, I wear it when I want to cover the mid section and to accent my curves, that is way to tight. I tried waist training and quickly gave up on the idea

Don't mind but that's too much to be slim, I would love to be normal slim.
