Okay, so corsets aren't as dangerous as one might have thought. But, should you be wearing one? According to Orchard Corset, there are multiple pros and cons to wearing this fashion item. One pro, the outlet said, is that it boosts confidence and helps with weight loss. As aforementioned, wearing corsets while eating encourages limited food intake because your stomach can't expand (via HourGlass Angel).

While corsets give you an hourglass figure and serve as a fashion statement, there's something weird about bringing back a 19th-century fashion statement that perpetuates old-age beauty standards (via The Cut). After all, the purpose of a corset is to give you a slimmer and flat stomach, but isn't the body positivity movement advocating to take away such a standard? "If you think about it through history, [the corset] was made to please everyone but the wearer," Amy Smilovic, a fashion designer, told the outlet.

Regardless, if you want to wear a corset, wear one! Nothing is stopping you. Just know that having a slimmer stomach doesn't mean you are more beautiful. You're perfect the way you are.
