NAYRT but most of the impact of the Cinderella dress is visual trickery without needing (much) modification of the body underneath? It's pulling the same techniques that were used recurrently in the 19th century to get a tiny-seeming waist -- very fitted waist-portion of the bodice, banded by very wide shoulders and skirt, so that proportionately the waist looks even smaller. The corset gives additional illusion, even under minimal compression, by redistributing flesh (torsos are usually wider than they are deep, and the corset rounds them into a circle instead, so the view from the front is narrower without losing anything).

That's not to say I doubt that she felt she couldn't eat/couldn't eat much. Usual advice while wearing a corset for extended periods of time is to eat small portions and avoid certain things like carbonation. But I've found wearing Spanx or control-top tights are just as likely (or more likely, in some situations) to Do Things as a corset.

Yeeeah...when I've worn a (corset-y) bodice for renaissance festivals (and I don't go out of my way to Lace Super Tightly So I Can't Breathe) I find myself without much of an appetite for most of the day. (I snack but I don't feel the urge to have a 'meal')

Then I unlace at the end of the day and suddenly realize I'm hungry, lol.

Anon bitching about never being that skinny in a corset—I’ve never had trouble eating in one, but the one I wear most often is an 1800s-ish spoon busk corset that kind of curves out over my (substantial, I’m naturally a sort of fat apple shape) lower belly.
