Perhaps a personal perception thing. I find that when a larger woman wears a corset, there really isn't a major change in her shape- it's just smoother. A smaller woman, because she does have less stuff to squish, will see more dramatic response to the compression. Add to that a bumroll on a small woman and the difference becomes even more pronounced, whereas a larger woman likely won't need one at all; the corset will have pinched just enough that her hips will have popped out all by themselves.
