Corsets

I’ve seen some old movies in the 50’s I think which my father used to watch when he’s still alive. I noticed that actresses seem to have trim figures but they also look similar with their figures because they’re all wearing corsets to trim their waistline and to look more beautiful. I’ve also seen those beautiful gowns with corsets inside and I keep thinking that it must be so fit that they look like they have waist like that of a child. Well now there are women still using it for some purposes but for me it looks a bit uncomfortable.
