Yes, but this version of the corset doesn't have boning in the sides
and back--only down the front. On a slender figure, it's not really
a problem unless you've got bone ends digging into your waist. And I
doubt someone as slight as the client described will lace too tightly
(which can cause problems, you're right).

I've found that boning the tabs makes a huge amount of difference
in taking the pressure off the waistline and distributing it over
more surface area. I've seen really nasty blisters and abrasions
(at the RenFaire) from people wearing tight, tabless corsets. We
call it 'corset burn'. Of course, you have to make sure that you
are using really flexible boning in the tabs. Super rigid steel
bones don't bend the right way to go over hips and can be painful too.
