That's why i don't use that torture machine called corset (don't tell anyone )

sshh, I won't tell a soul *grins* and I really liked your Fairy Tale conversation, it was great

(sigh) Madame la dauphine tried to give up the corset a few years ago, before she filled out, however it caused a great uproar and even became an international incident as her mother the Empress got involved, scolding her via personal letters and using her ambassador to influence the princesse to begin wearing the thing again. Of course, I should note, this is the "grand corps", which we court ladies must wear with our habits de cour ... "everyday" corsets (which men, at least at court, also wear) are actually less restrictive than this stiff thing which keeps one perfectly upright. The essential thing is to work with one's maid to get a proper, tight yet comfortable lacing, and remember that a gentlewoman is never, never, but never in a hurry. Never.

Here is talking Stormy my friend or Stormy the fashion designer?
