True, but if the corset isn't too long (which can be quite
uncomfortable) and if it has straps (which it really should), tying
the farthingale to the corset should distribute the weight of the
skirts up through the torso. I had the same issue with the weight of
the skirts resting on my waist and lower back until I tied the
farthingale to the corset.
