FAQ Part 17


Hi dear,

I just saw your website. You look Great!. I always have a wide rib cage. I have 3 kids I am 30 years old . I always like to have a small waist I was thinking to have ribs removal before. Do you think wearing a corset 24/7 can help? if yes what kind of corset I need? and where can I buy it?
Thank you.

Thanks for your note. Yes, wearing a corset 24/7 can indeed help. Rib removal is not necessary as the lower ribs are "floatiing" ie not attached in front so they will mold over time. If you tell me roughly where you live I will give you some suggestions for a corset maker. If you are going to be successful, custom made is important. It need not be frilly and fancy. Let me hear from you.

Hi Cathie,

I ran across your site while doing some web surfing, and I'm just astonished! I am nearly speechless (or would that be type-less?) at your transformation. Your waist is so impossibly tiny - it's just amazing!
You seem to have kept a 'normal' body size and figure for a number of years (I'm more than a bit envious) and I've always wanted a small waist. I have a while to go to catch up to you, my dear (I'm 42 right now) and I'm considering starting waist training to narrow my waist measurement (we shan't discuss what is is right now - much too embarrassing!). I would like to keep up with my gym workouts while beginning my corset training - do you have any helpful tips for me?
I purchased a lovely leather corset dress recently on Ebay and it's just wonderful - my husband's reaction was so wonderful - I can only imagine what it will be if I take to wearing a corset all the time as you do. I've read through the FAQ and realize that I must start slowly, but I'm hopeful that wearing a corset will not only help me to narrow my waist, but lose weight, as I will be unable to eat as much as I currently do.
You are definitely an inspiration, and I applaud you. I know others have asked similar questions, but do you have a family physician (outside of your darling hubby) who keeps up with you and gives you a check-up annually? Since I live so close to Mystic, I'm surprised I've never met you, but that's my loss - you must be absolutely fascinating to talk to. Good luck and good health to you and your hubby, and much success in all your endeavors.

Thank you for taking the time to write. Do you know who made the corset dress and do you have a picture of you in it to forward to us? I do have a regular primary care doctor and don't go wearing a corset so it doesn't elicit mny comments.
Do keep in touch and thanks again for writing.

Dear Cathie & Bob

The pictures of you in the black leather corset on your website at Nashville are awesome!! At least it looks like it is made of leather?? The combination of your beautiful shapely figure and that corset is a fantastic picture. Would you mind telling me about the corset? Like is it actually leather?
BTW, the new blue coset in the next picture is also beautiful BUT your figure make every corset look its best!!
Best regards

Thanks for your note. The corset is leather--made by Jeroen of Bizarre Design in Amsterdam. It was made using his early techniques--no front opening busk and stainless "u" hooks in the back for lacing. We converted him to eyelets subsequently. The blue corset was made by Melanie Talkington of Lace Embrace Atelier in Vancouver, BC. She had a soiree for us when we were out there--a black tie event with about two hundred guests!! We left on an Alaska cruise from Vancouver in June so spent the better part of a week out there prior to embarkation. Keep in touch.
