(Like consistent indoor plumbing as much as my children don't flush Happy Meal toys or entire toilet paper rolls in the toilet!)<BR/><BR/>In those days, I don't think that comfort was an option to women. I don't understand how they worked, but where I buy mine, Anne says they shouldn't hurt. I want to get down to 20/21" just because I can-- and my posture becomes impeccable when I train!

(I also thought that Anna Held died because her organs were misaliged by her corset, but that turned out not to be the case.) Yet you're anything but repressed and Victorian. I don't know. But please, no Anna Held-style 18-inch waist!steve on the slow trainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18257811143869341854noreply@blogger.com
