A second wore: It is a pretty awful dress that I'm amazed she was able to move in but it seems that wearing it got Kim the reaction she wanted. 

While a third commented: I think she looks great. I think she sucks and I think that’s why people are chapping her hide about her ensemble. 

Another added: Her chest, that she’s seemingly hiding, looks reduced. Now, She’s gone off the deep end.

Someone else said: It's called a corset. I think her waist was smaller in the wet-looking dress.

This is not the first time that Kim Kardashian has caused a stir for her surreal buttocks. 

Also on the red carpet of the 2019 Met Gala, she wore a tight Thierry Mugler dress with an incredibly thin waist. The appearance of the Skims brand founder even sparked rumors that she had her ribs removed.

Two months later, Kim revealed in an interview with the Wall Street Journal that the process of putting on the tiny corset under the dress was not easy.

 

The ex-wife of Kanye West revealed that she had never felt so much pain in her life. She even had a series of dark red streaks on her back and abdomen. 

In addition, the corset was so tight that she couldn't sit down, and she had to learn how to breathe to stay awake at the party.

The potential health risks of corsetry

The Charleston Museum explains in its article about the consequences of corsetry that while it's 'not usually deadly, wearing a tightly laced corset can be quite harmful to the wearer'. 

Potential health risks include reduced lung capacity, shortness of breath, fainting, skin irritations, rib compression, weakened back and chest muscles, and even organ deformity....
