I would think not. When they're in the TARDIS (at the beginning of Tomb of the Cybermen) and the Doctor is explaining about it, he says "Now, I think Victoria might find that dress a little impracticable if she's going to join us in our adventures" and Jamie helps her find something else...much shorter, it turns out. My guess is that if the dress was impracticable, a corset would be as well and she'd remove it.
