Corseted into ...
Hi
A woman from a hiding was filming a coven. People were naked and were dancing.
She was holding a camera and thinking to herself:
But this – her fingers tightened on the camera – this is
a machine which cannot think or feel or be affected by any
drug. It can only record. It is recording now! And that was,
oddly enough, a very horrid thought when you looked at
the fat round haunches of the Postmistress, ordinarily
corseted into the decent solid roundness of a tree trunk,
or when you looked at the pendulous breasts, like empty
paper bags, of Phoebe Rigby.When you looked . . .
Does it mean that the postmistress was ordinarily wearing a corset which made her look round like a tree trunk, but now was naked?

Hi
So she ordinarily was wearing a corset which was solid and round as a tree trunk?
"solid" mean here "good looking, decent, strong"?
