So I have spent Several Years being utterly perplexed at the idea that it's impossible to put a corset on without help from a second person.

It has literally only just occurred to me that my complete bafflement on the topic might be because my shoulders are hypermobile.

Is-- is that it? Is that why there's this bizarre incomprehensible cultural meme that the only way you can possibly put a corset on solo is with the aid of a coathanger and a doorknob? ENLIGHTEN ME, INTERNET.

Apropos of nothing much, I'm always surprised that there's no arrangement like a corset but with the front join incorporating some sort of cam arrangement like a bicycle's quick-release. Once it's laced right, you just pop in and out of it using the QR cam.
