sis, I have tried a corset before, but not that kind like yours, nagsuot ako during our prenup pictorial, grabe torture sa ribs sis. Sa first time na sinuot mo sya ok lang, then kapag tagal yung metals nya will curve in your body, ok pero masakit talaga, hindi pa ko mataba sis ha. Actually balak kong isuot yung corset sa kasal ko, pero after what happened, hindi ko na sya susuotin on my wedding. If moderate slimming effect lang ang habol mo, I suggest you wear a shaper nalang, kakabili ko lang kahapon sa Rustan's, you can check there. They have Spanx, Maidenform, etc.
