Corset hack: cut the tops off of your boots and attach the hook/eye fastenings on the edges without the laces (it used to work when I was thin, young and had no shame)

Calling it a vice may not be much worse than calling it as a disease as it affects people's attitudes, it seems. Although I like to think public attitudes have changed for the better so far.
