My daughter goes to many costume events and I bought this for her. She has a lovely hourglass shape and the fit was perfect. She especially liked the fact that once it has been laced in the back for a perfect fit, the corset can be taken on and off with the side zipper, so no need for tedious re-lacing. This would be a knockout for a formal event paired with a maxi skirt, or worn over a chemise for a Renaissance Fair or Pirate Festival. The Steel Blue Damask fabric is lovely and the dark boning is slimming. It will fit perfectly because you can lace it to fit each curve. My daughter's figure is 41/31/43 and she is 5'4". We bought x-large in spiral steel blue and love it!

This is a steel-boned corset, but with no steel busk in the front it will be more flexible (and comfortable) than a classic corset. As several others have stated the side zipper is a little awkward to get on & off, but worth it for the convenience of a zipper. It's flattering and effective even for those of that need a corset to actually hold things in and smooth areas out. The straps have elastic that is not shown in the pictures. While it's super uncool that they don't show an accurate picture of the back, the elastic is not deal breaker. I'm a 34 G and was a little nervous that the bust would be too small, but the elastic made it fit comfortably, with the mild support I expected.
It is leagues above a cheap costume piece and the fabric is gorgeous. Overall, this corset is exactly what I expected for the price I paid.

bought this for a last minute concert and it's literally so cute, was a little hard to zip up

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!)

Very nice, just like in the picture, I had to return it cause I ordered a M following the comments and it was too big in the breast part. My measurements are 34C 25
