Size M. Good quality for the price range. But huge at the cups, my boobs don't even begin to fill these cups. I added TWO sets of stick on boobs and it still didn't help. I'm 5'6" 118 lbs and wear a 36A. The waist was fine so I may just cut out the cups and use it as an under breast corset.

I bought this for my sister- who is shaped differently (and slightly larger) than I am in certain areas. I listened to the reviews and also made sure her measurements matched up. As it is- it's a corset and I'd have rather of had it smaller than larger since you can let out the laces (showing more back) but you can't really cinch it up tighter than it allows for if you get it too large. It was just about what I figure it'd be, size wise, and the material and boning are really, REALLY nice- so we weren't afraid to really cinch it up. The laces are a bit flimsy if you're REALLY pulling hard on them. They did NOT break- and since there's a zipper up the side, I'd not suggest using it like an old fashioned corset, anyway. The only sort of 'con' we found was the cups. They weren't as round as the pic. Maybe some shaping needs to happen? The chest part feels like it has a very stiff interfacing or something- they're really tall and flat compared to the picture- my sister is more endowed than I am so it worked for her, but if you don't have much of a chest- you might get lost in the top. It's not as bad as it sounds, but you wouldn't want your bra to fit that way. Over all, I am glad I got this for her. It's a beautiful piece that can be worn over a blouse or worn with a g string for sexy evenings in with hubby.

I only leave reviews if I know it might help others. The first time I ordered I went by the sizing guidelines and ordered a 3XL. I'm 5'3, 160lbs, 38-40c, 35" waist. With the 3XL, I was able to cinch it all the way closed with more room to spare. Although technically this "fit", being that I wear corsets tight (as they are meant to be to achieve the hourglass shape), it was essentially too large. I sent it back for the 2XL instead, and this one does what I want it to do. Much of it comes down to what you are wearing it for. If it's just for boudoir or bedroom fun, the bigger size is probably what you want. If you are using it in a costume and want maximum effect, I'd go smaller. The overall quality is decent for the price, but if you have really big ta-tas, then this corset will be an issue for you, as it barely keeps me concealed. You would probably want pasties or some type of undershirt if you are larger than a 38c.

The only other thing I can say is, have someone help you put it on. It is a bit awkward at first, and you have to literally pull your girls up and the corset down to get it to sit right before zipping. The zipper tends to catch on the inner fabric flap (at least mine does), so it's easier with extra hands to hold everything taught. Then have someone cinch it down as far as you want it.

I'm 5'8 with a 40F/G chest. Per reviews I ordered a 4XL. Cups fit great and lift is amazing. It is quite comfortable to wear all day/night. My only complaint (if you could call it that) is the waist does not cinch enough with the elastic cord it is laced with. I have a much smaller waist than hips and chest. It looks great and stays in place despite this, but it would really help to be able to tighten it a bit more. I may change it out with a non elastic cord. Will order a 3XL next time, and hope the cups still fit!

Got a Large cause I heard they ran small. I am usually a medium in American sizes. Even ordering a size up, I had to widen the back almost as far as it would go, & my waist is borderline between 29/30 inches.
Having said that, I absolutely love this waist trimmer! It's my first "corset" of any kind, and I chose this one as a starter just to see if I liked it. I do! It gives a nice slim fit without cutting off my air, and I had much more mobility than I thought I was going to! It's fairly well-made for the price, and the side zipper meant I could get it on & off by myself. Only thing is I wish the shoulder straps were adjustable, because I have small shoulders & they kept slipping a bit. The cup size is also a bit big for me (I'm a C-cup, & I have a feeling that having to order the large for the waist size means they assume you have bigger boobs too?) I will probably have to add a small gather to rein in both the straps and the cups a bit, but no biggie.
As for the "corset" part, I've been keeping the ties loose for now, but will probably go tighter over time. I wore it twice for ~20min at home just to get used to the feeling, and finally went out for a night with it on last week. I had no problems and didn't feel constricted, and I had it on for 6-7 hrs (and felt sexy the whole time!)
