| These lacers demonstrate that a woman's waist can be reduced and maintained below 19", which has been questioned by some historians. One difference is that the classic victorian ribcage tended to be more funnel shaped as a result of early corseting. Yet, the late start can be overcome by consistent training as Lacie, Sylphide, Spook, Masuimi, Dita and others demonstrate. Film actresses were and still are often required to wear corsets with minimal time for training, which will put off some of them permanently as a result of improper training However, others will after this first experience engage in long term corset wear. The entertainment industry has coined the term "corset films", and clearly recognized that these always do well at the box office, such as Titanic, Moulin Rouge, Pirates of the Caribbean and many more. | |||||
