Saw this this morning, and while the WIRED.com readers have an interesting commentary going on in the comments, I'm fairly certain that only the lovely ladies here can truly appreciate this piece of technology.
I like it!

I just want a corset that laces and tightens itself, lol.
I enjoyed the readers' comments more than the corset itself. Some of them were a riot! ;D
Was this invented by Al Gore?
If it can be made it loosen and tighten in response to a sensor then it can be made to do the same in response to a voice command... ;D

It can also be hacked. Or, you could just have a bit of fun and breathe on it. Or drop the person inside a pine forest.
I can't read the comments at work but a line in the article bugged me. "O'Friel says she chose a corset because it cinches the waist and forces wearers to breathe shallowly. " Not exactly. I can easily sing when I'm wearing a proper corset (Actually, sometimes it's even easier...). Singing requires a great deal of air. The corset should never constrict your lungs in anyway. It can constrict your diaphragm a bit but, mostly, it constricts your intestines and stomach area making you feel fuller quicker. It's great if you want to wear one for a couple of months to loose some weight...
:o
Strange. Some of the comments were hilarious though!
