Empress Sisi had special corsets made to accommodate how tightly she laced them, and people at the time thought it was...a choice. She was also anorexic (stopped eating completely whenever her weight approached a certain point) and exercised excessively.

Most photos of tightlacing have been photoshopped (painted over or edited) by the photographers of the time

that tight-lacing was why she didn't initially bleed out when she was assassinated.
