>>10910731>waist training or somethingI would just recommend weight loss. Wearing a corset to give the appearance of a waist can look really bad on plus sized apple figures. Worst case scenario they have the wrong overbust shape and end up looking like an ice cream cone. If they have a correct/normal shaped overbust corset or an underbust corset, that volume is still displaced from the waist to somewhere else. It can make the top half look like it's under high pressure, make shoulders look wider and make the bust sit unnaturally high.
People who are less fat and aren't apple shaped have far less tissue displacement to deal with so it doesn't look as weird on them to just accentuate the waist. They don't have to create a waist out of nothing, they're just accentuating what's already there.
Having said all of that; most lolita pieces aren't even designed with corsetry and exaggerated proportions in mind. Most lolita pieces are designed for, and look their best with, healthy medium sized bodies with normal proportions and the shape that regular modern underwear gives. Most corsetry gives the body an unnatural shape so it cannot be "stealthed" under clothes designed with regular modern underwear in mind, and most lolita clothes will not hang/fit right over it.
For all the exceptions I believe there was a thread about corsetry and j-fashion on cgl. Maybe it's still there.
