Are steel boned corsets terribly uncomfortable? I've always been scared that they would feel like you're being suffocated.

I'd say they're more comfy than the more decorative, plastic boned ones. :blink: In fact, I'd say they're very comfy anytime, anyday!

I agree with Envy, I find them a lot more comfortable then plastic ones - they just fit better and therfore are easier to wear. The plasit ones aren't that strong to really hold the waist in properly, in my opinion.

Yup. Just decorative.

I'm always too scared to even remotely lean over in any way when I'm in a plastic boned corset - For fear of snapping the bones!

Me too, especially one of those bought off of eBay. I wear them occasionally and always over another top. That way, if I ever have a wardrobe malfunction, I won't be too embarrassed. Also, plastic bends into weird shapes sometimes and makes it difficult to hook the corset up in front.
