A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

    Huh, never thought of corsets in a mod context before, thats pretty cool. And yeah, a bunch of people with mods saying how the human body “should” look is pretty pathetic, even (especially?) when your going against the common “should be skinny” idea.

    I agree with #6.

    The corset isn’t laced properly and looks very cheaply made (is it even steel boned?).

    If she’s serious about tightlacing she might want to invest in a custom fitted corset designed for waist training.

    Honestly I don’t understand why people would want to constrict their breathing to the detriment of their other bodily functions (yes I know about autoerotoasphixiation, however it’s spelt :P), to squish their internal organs up into their ribcage, to risk such permenant and damaging changes . . . To each their own, but alas, I like to be able to run and breathe at the same time!

    You look gorgeous with that waist (and good luck getting to 22″!) but I can’t help thinking a longer corset/one with a bigger bust allowance would flatter you even more, or an underbust.

    #78 –
    Internal organs are quite mobile and sensible corsetry shouldn’t do them any harm (I believe they rearrange themselves similarly to how they do when an un-corsetted person bends down?). If you lace very tightly quickly, you can do yourself some damage and if the corset is tight enough to cause the wearer trouble breathing or to faint, they’ve tightened it too much.

    Unless I realise I’m doing it, I breathe primarily with the upper parts of my lungs anyway so adjusting isn’t that difficult. The restricted breathing only bothers me when I need to sneeze!

    Most of the changes a corset makes to your body are reversible though. I imagine some tightlacers might have modified their body permanently but lower ribs have a degree of flexibility which allows for a fairly tight corset to be worn without permanent changes being made. I wish my figure stayed the same when I took my corset off…
