anyone ever try corseting???

Have not tried, just read a lot. There is a group on fb called waist training 101 I think. It is moderated or operated by Alter Ego Clothing(AEC). They sell their brand on the page & are not interested in other brands just in case you go there. But that aside, there is much to learn from it. Also some great before & after shots.

Aside from seasoning a new corset to your body, you would need to wear it 8-10 hours a day to begin training your waist. Along with doing core training exercises to build/maintain muscle(see last link).

Have no idea how hot a corset may be in the summer, but wore a shaping cami today while the temps were close to 90's & could not wait to get changed. Point is you would have to make a lot of changes to reach desired goals.

Also worth looking around this site as well. https://www.orchardcorset.com/

I may look at it all again in October or so.

From Lucy's Corsetry site...
Exercises I do (out of the corset) to increase tone and prevent atrophy I would always recommend regular exercise and toning (whether you wear corsets or not), but f you do plan to wear your corset more than half the time you’re awake (8 hours a day, 5-6 days a week or more), I would make daily core training a strict part of your regimen (unless you only wear your corset to sleep, in which case you’re not using your core to maintain upright anyway). It doesn’t have to be a lot of exercise, and it doesn’t have to be complicated. I gained considerable core strength by following Pilates instructional videos, as almost every move teaches you to keep your core tight, your ribcage in, and your muscles engaged at all times. On my lazy days, even if I don’t do cardio, I will still do some some regular core-toning exercises, including 3 sets of: 50 bicycle crunches, 30 reverse crunches or leg lifts, and 20 seconds of planking (planks also strengthen the lumbar area of your spine). If you want to really work out your oblique section, side kicks in kickboxing will definitely strengthen this area. These exercises take less than 10 minutes altogether. If you’re not wearing your corset that day, you can break up your sets throughout the day: sitting through a commercial break, or waiting for your microwave to go off. I also keep my core engaged while on the elliptical or walking.
