Minimal counter pressure space suit, 10 minutes survival time

Counter pressure spacesuits allow, in theory, a wearer to not be in an air tight space suit and work in a vacuum. What is the minimum such suit that could be used in a survival situation, on a ship, Mars or moon habitat?

I'm currently considering the insanity that the minimal solution is a low pressure breathing mask (5 psi oxygen), insulating shoes and a corset. Which is absurd. But you need counter pressure for the lungs to function... the floor/hull could be +/-100 degrees vs room temperature... and you need air. Everything else is optional, really, for 10 minutes survival time.

Or, to paraphrase, all you need is a corset, mask and high heels. Tell me how I'm wrong!
