   I agree with legz - she is as ugly as shite - and to be honest what normal person would want a waist like that - makes the hips look twice as big - in other word the battle ship is coming ! Lol

   I think Cathie Jung is gorgeous. But, I would love to be her husband. He's in sexual paradise 24/7.

   Cathie is a beautiful looking woman who has fulfilled our fantasies in respect to the corset. Thank you so much.

   Like most, I think Cathie is very striking. It's not about her looks (she's not a young woman), it's more about what she represents and to whom. A fetishist (and that's what Cathie is), will only but appreciate the effort she has gone through to create her look and the poses she strikes.
   For her and many of us, dressing for pleasure is something that only those involved will really understand.
   If you stand back and think about the imagery she has created, it's beautiful to the likes of me, but to others its hideous and so is she.
   Rememeber the saying "what is one persons meat, is another person's poison".
   There are many more about like her and me, just not so obvious to those on the outside.

   I just wonder what she looks like without the corset. I mean, what's that waist like when it's uncinched?

    To legz and Tooshiede, Cathie is 68!! I think she looks pretty good for that age. To wondering - cinched waists tend to keep their amazing shape afterwards, even if you've only been wearing a corset for a matter of weeks.

    I think Cathie is an incredible woman

    Yes, she may have a small waist but they made people stop wearing corsets like that for a reason back in..oldd times. They can do serious internal damage |:. I feel sorry for her organs. And I really think her waist would have been fine the way it was.

    "cinched waists tend to keep their amazing shape afterwards, even if you’ve only been wearing a corset for a matter of weeks."

    This is not true, the waist will return quite quickly to the usual size. When Cathie does not wear a corset her waist size returns to 21" which is her current natural waist measurement. When you consider that, her corseted waist is only really 5" smaller than her natural waist size. Though it has taken her over 20 years to get that far and her natural waist size before she started corseting was 26". So that is why she seems so out of proportion.

    I agree that she has gone too far to be aesthetically pleasing, but think there is nothing wrong with wearing corsets continuously and myself aim for a corset 6" smaller than my natural waist size (I don't want to go too far!)

    "Yes, she may have a small waist but they made people stop wearing corsets like that for a reason back in..oldd times. They can do serious internal damage |:. I feel sorry for her organs."

    People stopped wearing corsets for a couple of reasons. The first was a change in fashion which required women to have a more boyish figure with less emphasis on small waists and nice big hips, and more emphasis on being flat chested and straight up and down (think 1920s fashion). This changed the shape of the corset so the focus was on making women flat and equal sized all over.
    The second change was the war. All steel was used for war equipment of varying kinds and so corsets could no longer be produced with steel boning. This along with the change in fashion was what provoked the end of wearing corsets for most people.

    Nobody MADE anybody give up wearing corsets.

    Corsets can damage your internal organs but only if done so incorrectly. The majority of Victorian women had no problems from wearing a corset and few actually tightlaced to get a waist as small as Cathie Jung's. To the Victorians it was the proportions which mattered, not the tinyness of the waist size. Corsets from the period were available in waist sizes starting at 18" and working up to 34", much the same as today. The average corset size bought was also in the region of 24" to 28", so the majority of women did not wear corsets that were very small. Corsets were worn on average between 2 and 4" smaller than the natural waist size and some vain women, trying to make themselves seem smaller would buy a corset a size smaller so they could say they wore a smaller corset, yet would wear it quite loosely at their usual size.
    Women of the time also frowned upon the few individuals who did try to tightlace to get their waist size very small and dressmakers often had to tell their clients that they didn't need a smaller corset - they needed to be in proportion.

    As to the health side of things, if done right a corset does little if no damage at all. Your organs do move to accommodate a smaller waist but your organs move around much more when you are pregnant to make room for the expansion of the womb. So it really is not a problem.
    In the past, the corsets which did harm were the straight-front corsets of the Edwardian period. They were designed by doctors to be a healthier type of corset and if worn correctly were an improvement in some ways. However, the women who liked tightlacing and making their waists especially small realised that the cut of the new style corset could allow for greater waist reduction than with an hourglass shape. When tightened too much, these corsets put lots of pressure on the abdomen and so impacted on the lower organs. In extreme cases some women suffered from a prolapsed uterus (it distends outside of the vagina) which had to be corrected by the use of a pessary (a sort of rod inserted inside to hold everything up). This happened less frequently than is thought as most women were sensible about the amount they tightlaced.
    Today, corsets marked as being "Edwardian" style corsets are usually just longer length versions of standard corset patterns. Corsets are no longer made to a true Edwardian pattern by mainstream corset companies. Some companies do still offer an "s-shape" straight front corset, but these are only sold to be worn a maximum of 4 inches smaller than your natural waist, therefore preventing any of the nasty side effects tightlacing such a corset can cause.
    Corsets like the one Cathie is wearing above do not damage the internal organs - they haven't damaged hers! She had had x-rays taken whilst wearing a corset and other such tests to ensure that all is well and for 70 odd she is doing damn well! Her husband Bob is an orthopaedic surgeon so he'd hardly let her wear corsets if she was damaging herself!

    I say congratulations to the woman! For her age she is doing fantastically, I have a corset myself which i wera quite frequently. I certainly dont want to tightlace too over the top but i can definantly say after being pregnant with a child over 9.1pounds wearing a nice properly fitted corset is heaven. If the ppl who bag corsets actually did their research properly you will find it is only a minority of women in the past who have done irreversible damage. As someone said waay back one persons meat is another persons poison. Too me the waist looks too small but when you actually hear how tiny her waist is naturally and how small it is with a corset you will find it is like a 4 or 5 inch difference which is what they reccomend for corsets. Each to their own but refrain from comments that are a complete put down as we may not like your style and may think your an absolute cock sucking faggot that fucks his own daddy but we wouldnt print that now would we...............

    Corsets are not for the faint of heart, they are difficult to wear on a daily basis and only the ones who have a serious passion for them would turn their waists to such a small dimension. I admire her , for having gone through with her body transformation, and so what if she is not young, do you know that the young ones often have no appreciation for a good thing when they see it? I hate superficial young people with no taste for a sexy corset wearing woman!

    You people who support or admire her or ooh and aah are just freaking crazy. I understand the appeal of corset and having a tiny, tight waist and whatnot, but there is such a thing as overboard. Seriously, nothing pisses me off more than someone who clearly has psychological issues and probably body image issues and gets egged on by other psychos with the same issues. And as for her age, she looks awesome, but it's not because she has totally disfigured herself, it's because, like most people with body image issues, she's naturally attractive. Body modification irritates the hell out of me and equally irritating are people who encourage it or imply that it's ok or even natural to make yourself a freak because you need attention. She's plainly disproportionate and disgusting and gross and no one will convince me otherwise. It's not because she shocks the senses but for me it's because you get one life, one body, one chance to be you, and this is how she chooses to do it... it just boggles the mind. BUT I acknowledge that it is her choice and her right to do whatever to her body what she pleases. That is itself is the only things that is normal about this.

    mmm... if you study the female figure over the years, I think the Greeks got it best in and around 500 BCE.
    I love me an hourglass figure, but I leave the wasp waists to the insect... like say, wasps.

    Thumbs down, mainly for the sake of moderation =)

    I think this lady was abused by here husband..I saw her in an interview and it was her husbands fetish moreso than hers, she actually seemed quite unhappy and submissive. Of course i could be wrong, having a corset on like that probably hurts, and some people love pain and discomfort. I still think she does this for her man.

    Wow, there are some trolls here! Everyone's entitled to their opinion, but if you're going to be nasty about it then keep it to yourself. Personally, I'm on Team Cathie. I think she looks great (especially for her age) and I admire her dedication. Like Monk Zymurgy though, I do wonder about her marriage. To answer your query Monk, the corset wouldn't hurt. It looks to be a good quality custom job, and those are very comfortable. I know that because I make them.
