AN EXTREME corseter, who has a minuscule 18inch waist, squeezes herself into the rib-crushing contraptions for six hours a day.
And in a bid to achieve the world’s thinest torso, the 20-year-old fetish model undergoes hours of waist training.
The blonde bombshell, needs to lose another three inches to achieve the work record of a 15in waist.
And the feisty model, who has shrunk her natural waist from 25 to 22 inches in the past eighteen months, is determined to achieve her goal.
Romanie wears a corset for up to six hours four times a week, but hopes to increase this – despite sometimes experiencing pain when the garment crushes into her ribs.
She said: “I would love to shrink my waist to a 17 maybe a 16 maybe a 15 - I don’t really know just go with it and see what happens.
“I have quite a big rib cage so it sticks out further and I can feel my ribs bending a little bit - but other than that the corsets are really comfortable.
“Back in the day everyone wore them, everyone had a womanly figure all jeans were high waisted - so the women’s waists back then were smaller.”
The size 6 model, from Essex, uses the tight corsets to create a sexy hourglass figure.
And for Romanie, corseting is all about creating a vintage pin-up look.
She said: “Women in this era don’t have that shape any more.
“I love the look of Marilyn Monroe and I often get told I look like her.
“I know Kim Kardashian is waist training now and a lot of people are copying her but I’m not really into that look.”
But she admits the curvaceous shape comes with a price – as she can often feel uncomfortable in her tight corset.
“Sometimes, if you are out and about it is kind of like getting a stomach ache," she said.
“You don’t want to be there, you want to go home, but you power on through it in a way because you made a decision to wear the corset so you go through with it - it’s what you have got to do.”
Romanie said: “Wearing a corset 24-hours a day all the time does tend to damage your ribs, it can bring them in, it can snap ribs, cause bruising and damage the bottom of your lungs.
“They are the problems that you can find if you are corseting to extremes and doing it too much - it is not advised that you do it like that."
Romanie’s friends and family are supportive of her decision to go into fetish modelling and mum, Susannah Smith, 45, often helps out with the blonde model’s hair on shoots.
Susannah, a web-designer, said: “I am very proud of her. It’s enabled her to come out of her shell and give her a lot of life experience.
“Most people on the whole are really positive about Romanie’s look and her work.
“There have been the occasional times where people have been negative, it’s been people saying ‘oh that’s not natural or she looks too thin’.
“It is mad, years ago they used to do it and it wasn’t natural then but it’s just a look and it’s a look that she carries well and one that she has to do for her career.”
She said: “I guess because you don’t see many people wearing corsets anymore so people are kind of shocked when you are wearing one.
“I have had a few people criticise me on social media sites where people can hide behind a computer.
“I have had a few people say, ‘oh that’s disgusting, it’s unnatural’.Someone even said I must be starving myself.
“They say that I look anorexic or I look weird but I am a small person I am not big so it doesn’t make any difference.
"I just am small – and I eat like a horse.
“This is my body and I don’t care what anybody else has to say.”
Why would someone do it to herself? Nothing can beat natural beauty and to be honest curve make girls look pretty. Anyways thanks for sharing it
