what got me into trying a corset? Actually a few years ago a friend of mine with boobs the size of watermelons showed up with a waist freakishly small. Her waist was about like the size of a thigh or less than one boob in width. She told me she had been doing hardcore corset training. I ordered it but never really got around to wearing it much until now. So we will see how it goes. My goal would be to keep my hips and breasts where they are but reduce my tummy to closer to a 24". I used to have 24" or less tummy before when my boobs and hips were much smaller ... like a 36-38. Now that they are bigger than that it would be much more of an accomplishment to get the waist back that small.
