I now understand where I went wrong years ago, thanks Shira ...
corest - cheap, over-bust not adapting to a barrel chest
shapewear - bought my size and did nothing, should have downsized
We live and learn.

DiDi, I bet you'll look great in that!

Here's the one I just ordered. I've been wanting one for a while, and this is inexpensive enough for me to get an idea how to proceed. It's probably just cheap Chinese made crap, or it might actually work. If it doesn't, then I'm not out a whole lot of money.

To be honest, I'd probably just do more better with a girdle of sorts.

Mine just arrived and it's waaay too small.
Oh well, it wasn't expensive.

Has or does anyone use waist trainers or corsets to help train their body over time to have a smaller waist to give more of a hour glass figure? 

If so what have you used and how did or is it working for you.

Ummm no.....but I would like to buy some corsets just to train my waist and ribcage a bit... I was in Scarborough and saw a few but didn't think to buy them at the time. Does anyone else have a corset and if so, how are they and how do you triangle your waist?

I just found out about a new type of surgery called rib remodeling. Basically instead of using liposuction and using fat transfer to make a torso more feminine looking, or instead of the older surgery technique where they remove the lower rib, this surgery does neither. They micro fracture your lower ribs and then you use a corset while they heal. And they heal in a new location due to the corset. They say it's not all that painful.  Interesting to say the least. 

Here is the link to the YouTube video that talks about it.

I've tried small corset with hooks (small), and lace up corset.  Very unimpressed with the result.  Did not use as a "trainer," but it seemed illogical to expect such a thing to "reshape" my body.  My own approach became to shed any visceral fat that I had accumulated from years of high carb, high insulin, high cortisol living.  It took about 3 years, but I can honestly report that it is possible to shrink your waist, even in your 60's, without losing any muscle mass that can be used to accentuate a feminine form.  Small waist just seems ultimately feminine to me.
