    Is it a lace up or a zip?

    Did you get it from a dress shop?

    A bed is not a good sit down test as you sink in to it differently to a chair

    If you can breathe when you're standing up, you can breathe when you're sitting down, providing you hold your back straight. We all slouch slightly and that will cause outward pressure on what I assume is a corset dress. Back straight, shoulders back, you'll be fine.

    As above, sitting on a bed is very different to sitting on a chair. And with a chair, you can do a little bit of perching to increase the angle between your midriff and legs - this might give you a little breathing room.

    The alternative might be worse - when I tried on a corseted dress and sat down, I disappeared into it, like a tortoise.
