gwen This would mean an 8 cm (3") reduction: mild by the standards of corsetry fans.
Yes, that sounds like a reduction that is still comfortable. I assume going back to 56 cm (22") was not so much of a 'pleasant hug'.
gwen At least with the corset, I can loosen it a bit before I dig into a large meal!
Not if you are going to wear one under a (waist) belt! 🤣
Those are pretty decent prices, although I'm sure the shipping from Australia will add a fair bit. I was a bit surprised to see how many overbust corsets they have - I'd assume that makes them more restrictive and not suitable for all types of breasts. Do you have experience with those? If so, what would you consider the advantages?
gwen I'd wear a corset for 8 to 12 hours per day, 3 to 4 days per week.
Why did you not wear it for more days per week? Was that just because you were doing things on those days that were incompatible with a corset, or (also) because your back muscles could weaken if you wear one full-time? (The corset helps holding your body up straight, so the muscles that normally do that have to work less hard.)
