Ladies: this is what a corset is. Those flimsy, stretchy, non shaping "waist shapers" are not corsets. They do not train your body to be a certain shape when you are not wearing them, but might help you lose an inch or two- as long as you aren't going after the hourglass shape. Corsets are thick canvas or cotton materials with both steel and plastic "boning" in them to keep their shape, and five you the shape you desire. Corseting is a serious practice with serious results over time and must be practiced safely. I get my corsets at @orchardcorset size 18" shown by christymack
