Women 24 Double Steel-Boned Longline Heavy Duty Waist Training Corsets Shaper

SIZING NOTE:I ordered this big for me, if you are around -5'4-6" ish, 135-160lbs, 34ggdo NOT get 5x size, it would be too big. Use the size chart, which is accurate and I think puts you at 3x in this brand. Corsets normally have 2-6 inches of play, this one is similar with non or low stretch fabric...the adjustment is made with the lacing, and fits any cup size since it has no cups.THIS ITEM:Great quality and value for item, durable but cute mesh, strong laces and sturdy steel boning. Free from defects, looks exactly like item in pic and fits according to their size chart. Flattering and comfy (even tight laced if you are used to it) , looks cute with vintage/period stuff or more goth/punk/edgy street clothes ( and probably other styles) and is high quality with fast shipping.Can't think of literally any complaint at all about this!3rd corset from this brand and I love all 3. Same durable high quality cute items every time so far. GREAT pricing for the durability and styling. For example, here's my experience with an alternative:I paid A LOT to get a custom corset from Dark Garden in SF for my sister's wedding. It took a long time, didn't fit right and was not very flattering, even made to measure and with the one fitting session we had time for before the event!!What I'll say in their defense: This was my only attempt to buy a custom corset from them, and what it did have was very, very high quality workmanship, fabric and materials, and was very durable and cute (on a hanger) They also have a nice staff at the cute upscale flagship store with alot of great off the rack stuff they make...but that stuff is still $$$$When I inquired about getting it altered to actually fit me afterwards, they wanted over $500 even though it had only been worn once, never fit and was literally almost $1000 😬.I hate to say it, but this item is a cuter, more versatile, breathable design THAT ACTUALLY FIT ME properly and was flattering (Who wants to wear one of these things if it doesn't even make you look better or look cute on you? Lol) than I got for the wedding and is approching a similar durability level at about 2% of the price! (If my math is right, lol)The only things this lacks vs. the $1000 corset are: many custom options for style, fabric, etc. and a cute store with a nice staff. On the other hand, you don't have to go for fitting or wait long... and its returnable. No-brainer!

its great, I think for standard lacing the sizing chart is pretty accurate, But the panel in the back is pretty generous so you could easily go up a size or two if you're a little unsure, especially if you're intending to wear it reasonably laced and not all the way tight (which you could only do really for like, a photoshoot). I got the mesh one which still seems very strong and nice and breathable. I will say I got the normal size one (as opposed to the short torso fit), and for me personally I think the fit would be a little better if it was a little longer, but I'm pretty tall, just something to consider if you know you've got an exceptionally long torso. It seems like the bigger sizes definitely get wider but not so much taller.

This corset/trainer is definitely beautiful, and very sturdy. I had no loose seams or tears and it's beautiful but it's definitely not for beginning users to corsetry. The busk is flimsy and bends easily, and the laces needed redone, and it gives a very dramatic cinch and if you have a shorter torso will be far too high in the front. The modesty panel is also quite small and takes a lot of adjustment to lay flat and stay where it needs to. Check the measurements, and take your own measurements before buying. If you're a softer type, you will have a lot of overhang in the back as it's quite low, and a liner or sheath will be necessary.That being said, it was comfortable for long term wear and I comfortably wore it for 10+ hours for my shift at work and had no complaints outside of some slight prodding against my chest but which I was able to fix by loosening the laces and shifting the corset down an inch or two.

I ordered this according to the size chart and when it arrived it ended up being loose enough for me to tighten all the way, which is the only reason I went for four stars instead of five. This corset is made of quality materials. The mesh is strong and sturdy, the bones are solid and well placed to keep things nice and snug and secure. The steel is flexible enough that you can still bend over and tie your shoe or crouch to pick something up off the floor. The waist tape is well placed and the whole thing feels like it will serve you well for years. It's very comfortable and durable, and I'd deem it a good choice for waist training. I've had issues in the past with corsets digging into my hips because they hadn't accounted for the flare. This doesn't have that issue. The base curves nicely over hips and back so there's no poking. This has the side benefit that the bottom edge in front also dips lower, which provides a bit more tummy control if that's a thing you're after. All in all, a very worthwhile purchase. I just want one in my size :-)Edited because of excellent customer service. When I reached out to the company to ask about an exchange instead of going through the Amazon return system, they offered a full refund without waiting for me to return the item so that I'll be able to get the new one more quickly.

Well made, fast shuipping. Highly recommended!
