This is the actual size of Empress Sisi's waist in the 1800's. Picture taken from a statue at the Sisi museum in Hofburg Palace (where when I go, I will touch everything that says 'do not touch'. "American no speak germano". /shot) media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/01/40/2a/d6/sisi-museum.jpgThis was how Vienna looked for most of her life. XD Now you can see how possible it is for a lady who looks like that could miscarry, and she certainly can't breathe. XD |

Did they wear corsets during the pregnancy, too?
Yeash, that makes me cringe so much. She looked like a Barbie. D:>

Not until it starts showing. Which is even more dangerous, I think.
I think it's pretty, actually. With the clothes of that time, of course. XD

Hnnng, I couldn't wear one of those if my life depended on it. < ~ >
I do love the dresses, and that's coming from a casual, guy shirts, and ratty-ol'-jean-and-sweatpants kind of girl! XD

Any time I think of Vienna and pregnancy now, all I can think of is "LOTS AND LOST OF BABIES!!" and Itak crying forever. XD
BUT YEAH I can see how this would not work out with pregnancy. :I

lol, this reminds me of when I used to wear a hard brace 24/7. It is basically a plastic corset (that unfortunately doesn't make you look thinner while you're wearing it). I apparently was losing dangerous amounts of weight, because it was so hard to eat, so my doctor told me to stop using it. Let me just say, I cannot imagine willingly wearing an actual corset; it is so not worth it. XD I just lied around most of the time, doing nothing, because it is so uncomfortable, herp derp.

But lying around doing nothing is what women are supposed to do-- /shot
Ugh, I couldn't imagine wearing a backbrace. Maybe I should have; if I stand for five minutes my lower back hurts like a mofo. XD all my doctor said was "you have a little bit of scoleosis". :I that, and anemia, and endometriosis... It wouldn't hurt to knock my ovaries around with a corset to give em a taste of their own medicine.
And anemia is the way to go if you want those extra lbs to fall right off-- I am horrible with advice. XD
I say, if it makes you feel better, do it. I think this is healthier than implants and lypo and all that. B)

No way, man, for weight loss, surgery is the best. Not even lypo or whatever; any kind of surgery will knock, like, ten pounds off in one go. After spinal, I was 90 lbs for a good while. I like to think Vienna would have approved. XD That was admittedly a bit too much, though. But even appendicitis brought me down to 95 or so. I think people are overlooking this miracle weight loss solution. :I XD
