Hello =)
If you have worn one since you are very young, yes, it will keep your waist small. It also causes a few problems, however, like reduced vital capacity (breathing), sometimes spinal problems, and sometimes impaired bowel functions....so, it's kinda a trade off.
Remember that women used to faint on a regular basis, during the 18th century, largely because their corsets didn't allow them to breathe properly. They did have marvelously narrow waists, though.
Namaste, and Happy New Year,

On a Ripley's Believe it or Not show, they had a girl wear one and measured her waist before and after. Her waist was smaller, but they found that her spine had actually been distorted. I think it may have been the same episode with the Chinese foot binding. It's amazing the things people did in the name of "beauty." However that's defined...

based upon how small you pick for to pass, you will possibly no longer have the skill to renounce donning the corset. during the Victorian era whilst corseting replaced into prevalent, some women necessary to positioned on nighttime corsets and others could no longer leave the corsets off with the aid of fact their spines ought to no longer do their job. Corseting is a incredibly severe style of physique substitute given which you're shifting inner organs around and you're affecting your backbone. for greater advice on corseting you in all possibility ought to poke around libraries and notice what you will hit upon on Victorian women and Victorian women's wellness.

A corset helps to shape the stomach and keeps the excess fat tucked in. I think that you need to physically exercise to reduce fat.

NO it hurts you. It can mess up you insides. I suggest that if you want a smaller waist you go on a good diet and excerise.

yeah, over time... long time. It can also cause heaps of health problems if you take it too far. By making your waist smaller, you're literally changing you bone structure - in worst case scenarios chicks have died from suffocation because their lungs have been squashed by their rib cages tightening - eww.

Yeah, but who is looking at your waist when those boobs are busting out to be free.

Sure it does. Also when worn too frequently it can move your internal organs and constrict your lung capacity.

Kind of, but its just pushes all the skin and fat on your stomach other places.
