Outer garments that require torturous inner garments are going to be rejected. What in the world does a corset have to do with "the girls" (hate that usage)? A corset squeezes the waist and abdomen, does it not? Hope you aren't getting married in the summer and thinking of wearing this inner rubber suit,. Yiiihhh! Wouldn't it be better for a wedding dress to make you look good, than for you to be molded and formed to make a dress look good? Hey, if duct tape does whatever it is you want it to do, if it won't hurt your skin, and if it would be comfortable, why not use it?  |
I dunno the fashion definition of girdle, but I do know I was talking about support, and many are talking about a bit of extra smoothing. I don't think anyone expects the bride not to breath, but you would be surprised at how comfortable a decent corset can be..support above, reminder to keep the back straight and some smoothing in the midsection. All worth the lacing process IMO.
Now if anyone is suggesting joining the lady with the worlds thinest waist, they should be drawn and quartered.
BTW I was laughing at the 'do the YMCA' suggestion! I wish I had tried that with a formal dress or two!
