SHAPERXWomen's Waist Training Corsets Underbust Heavy Duty 26 Steel Boned Hourglass Silhouette Body Shaper

Ok ladies, here is the skinny on sizing yourself for a corset. A corset is made to (when laced) take up to 2-4" off of your natural waist size. Think "Gone with the wind", and Scarlet has to be at 13" to fit her dress, so it was pulled tighter. So i have a 45" waist (i know, and I digress), that doesn't mean the corset that will fit my 45" waist should be bought at a size for 45", rather buy the corset that will give me the desired waist measurement after it's tightened or as I like to say "trussed". When you are a beginner meaning first time corset wearer order the size that will give you 2-4" smaller than your natural waist size (any smaller you might get light headed and pass out.) The laces are long but as I found not long enough to give me my desired max of 4". Easily fixed by buying the longest pair of shoe strings to add the length I needed to adequately trus my corset. Remember with each wear how much you need to tighten it will change as the corset breaks in and adjusts to your body. There will come a day that you won't need the extra length of laces (so remove them, and relace).I make corsets, and have studied plenty on sizing, tightening, breaking in, and wearing. Trust me I bought the right size, if I went a size up I wouldn't get the desired look and fit I expect. This is a excellent corset, and I would recommend it highly to anyone. Every body is different, some of us need longer laces, but that In no way makes this a bad product, and the Only way to get a perfect fit is have a custom fitting by someone who knows the amount of laceing that will be needed to give you your desired effect. Hope this helps!Only thing that made it somewhat small, was the fact that I needed extra length on the laces. It was easily remedied by adding shoe laces to the bunny ear portion, added photo and re-lacing the corset. Great price point and excellent quality, for me (a seasoned corset wearer) very comfortable as well. I don't use it for waist training, only fashion; however the quality and durability of this brand fit the bill if that's what you're looking to do. Quick delivery too. I'm a full figured fluffy gal 5'4" size 20/22, purchased a 3x as I wanted the options of 2" - 4" reduction based on how I truss the garment, fully tightened I'm a solid size 18 in the waist.This waist corset has garter attachment loops, they can be hard to find so I have added photos of the loops (fingers pointing them out 4 per side since the size changes as you truss/cinch the corset).

Pros:AttractiveFits wellCorrect sizing, no confusionThe front and side panels are steel boned as statedGood stitchingGood lacing with almost no giveSturdy material with no giveCons:A bit short on my torsoIf there is any issue with the quality over time, I will edit this postFYI:I haven't had this corset long enough to season it yetThis isn't my first corsetI'm 5'9" AND 145 lbs.Tips and Observations -There seems to be a lot of confusion with some of the negative reviews concerning waist training, fit and durability. Waist training is something that is supposed to be accomplished over time. If the corset arrived frayed or damaged or this vendor shipped a size you did not order, the wrong item or product or delayed shipping your goods and did not tell you, I would understand those bad reviews. But I feel like a lot of the negative reviews are due to not following sizing instructions, not knowing how to care for your corset or just not reading the product description. Here are a few things I noticed:For sizing and fit; DO NOT GO TOO SMALL. If your natural waist is 32" but you want a 22" waist do not buy the 22" corset. It will not fit. Go with the suggested corset (28") and work your way down over time. I was going to buy a bigger size than the vendor suggested based on some of the complaints and this would have been a waste of my time (since I would have had to return my corset and order a new one in the right size).For boning (phrasing, I know) and lacing; This corset has steel boning. I don't know why people are saying it has plastic boning. That almost put me off of buying this corset. If you have any concerns, buy the corset and test it with a magnet. If there is any type of pull, it is steel. I used a refrigerator magnet and got a strong pull from my corset with side, front and back panels. Also, "ribbon" laces refers to any type of flat corset laces as opposed to round laces, not actual ribbon. Real ribbon would shred and tear in the process of waist training and is usually used for costume corsets. To avoid any confusion with this, look at the photos of the back and the lacing to get an idea of what it looks like.For comfort; Wear your corset for a few hours every day with minimum tightening for the first few days. This is a brand new corset, you have to mold it to your body. After a week or 2, you can wear it longer and begin to tighten it a little more. It should begin to contour to your figure at this point. Seasoning your corset in this way not only makes it more comfortable to wear for long hours, but also ensures its longevity.To Avoid Damage; Do not tie your corset too tight when you first get it. Tight lacing when your corset is unseasoned is not only dangerous to your health, but uncomfortable and damaging to the corset itself. You can break the corset hooks and closures.SYNOPSIS OF THIS LONG REVIEW: Go by the vendor's suggestion for sizing. If you don't like it, return it. If you are new to wearing a corset, look up tips on the internet or ask a friend that wears one before rushing in and leaving a bad review. An unnecessary bad review can keep people from trying a great corset.

Decent corset for what it's worth. Pretty happy with it got it for an event just to wear as a "fashion corset" wasn't expecting it to be as good as it is so very pleased, not an everyday corset but could be good for beginners. It's strong, can still move around good in it and looks good, holds up well and stays in place. If your looking for a corset to add to a costume or as a fashion peice it's a good buy.

I bought this product on a whim because I have always wanted to try waist training & I can’t bring myself to pay $200-$300 for a good corset. The other styles made with elastic material are trash and stretch out.I haven’t had the chance to break this one in, I have only worn it for a few hours and it is comfortable. I did size down one size based on reviews .. I should have went down 2 sized to a medium. There is not alot of room to tighten it much more .. I was hoping it would last me a while. But I could always just size down in a few months after getting into the hang of wearing one. It is a very cute accessory also. I tried it on on top of a black dress and it not only cinched my waist but it looked adorable. I would 200-% recommend this as a trainer for a beginner or someone that just wants a cute trainer to help put definition on their curves while wearing a cute dress.As I said I cannot comment on the longevity of this product since I have not had it long enough to speak on that. But from what I can tell, it seems very heavy duty & does the job. I saw people saying it doesn’t curve in as much as they would like.. and I can see that being a factor for women that are smaller, but for me it fits just right. I have a short torso so it is a perfect match for me, someone with a long torso that is looking for more full coverage may want to opt for a longer trainer, but you will pay the price.

Very pleasantly surprised and quite pleased with the quality, appearance and fit! I bought the XL. This was my first ever corset purchase and was chosen on a whim because I liked the brocade detail of the pattern which suited the outfits I plan to wear it with. Very comfortable though the front pins are a bit difficult to latch given they are flat. At $46.99 it is a very good price for someone who is interested in corsets but not willing to spend the hundreds of dollars necessary to get something bespoke.

Looks great, came with ribbon laced through. Easy to adjust, fits my size well. Quality product!

Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit diesem Korsett. Ich trages es über der Unterwäsche oder als frecher Hingucker über der Kleidung. Die Verarbeitungsqualität ist super und es ist durch die zahlreichen Metall-Stäbe stabil genug es sehr eng zu schnüren ohne das es Falten wirft oder sich aufrollt. Die Stäbe sind an den Enden solide eingefasst und haben sich trotz einjähriger Benutzung noch nicht durchgescheuert. Ihr solltet eine nummer Größer bestellen da es bei mir minimal zu kurz ist um den Unterbauch mit abzudecken, wenn es direkt unter dem Brustansatz sitzt. Wenn ich es auf der Hüfte aufliegend trage ist die Taille noch enger, aber unter den Brüsten bildet sich eine Fett-Rolle, die ich mit weiteren Shapewear Maßnahmen verstecken muss. Das einzige was nicht so schön ist sind die Schnüre, die wie Schuh - Schnürsenkel aussehen. Hierfür sollte man sich ggf. hübschere besorgen.
