I promise you, that's a lot more uncomfortable than this.
Because in a corset I can't breathe? Are your lungs in your waist?
A big important part of putting on a corset is that you do so whilst your chest is FULLY expanded. You take a deep breath and hold it whilst tightening.
Underbust corsets have a lot more freedom than that. My underbust barely even covers any of my ribs (I have a very long torso, and most of my ribs is breasts.) My corset only covers the floating ribs basically.
Everyone is different, some people shouldn't wear corsets, but they didn't drop out of fashion because they were causing lung problems.
The other main problem found with corsets was how they moved organs and squished some when tightened too much. This is definitely a cause of their downfall, aside from style changes, they really did cause organ damage. Of course, women used to wear them everyday, so this isn't as big of a concern for casual wearers these days
Just curious.
Also, there were problems with women who trained down to tiny sizes, I think that no matter how much I wear my corset, 26 inches is just fine. Women's bodies are designed specifically to be capable of shifting organs and bones. We do that during pregnancy in the exact same way that it happens when we wear a corset.
The most famous tightlacer alive today is Cathy Jung, who's husband is a doctor.
