I this is my 18 inch satin corset. It is from TGC. The lower part is not very tight, but the ribcage is compressed considerably. The effect is especially significant with the lower ribs. Therefore I need a longer time (1-2 days) to get used to wearing this corset and feel comfortable in it.

For an aesthetic appearance it is important that the corset produces a smooth curve between its waistline and upper edge. Therefore the upper ribs must be compressed as well.
