If I could leave it 10 stars, I would!
I am just getting into ren faires and stuff but have always loved cottage core styles but nothing in that style ever fits right or looks good cause I’ve got a large bust (between DD-DDD).I love this thing more than life itself. I’m a little bit chunkier than I’d like to be and it often makes me feel a bit self conscious and I have a really hard time finding clothes I feel s3xy in. This bodice makes me feel so beautiful and s3xy. My boyfriend agrees lol. I have a feeling that if I’m ever feeling self conscious I’m just gonna lace myself up and feel like a baddie and go on my merry way.Here’s all the details:I have a 42 inch bust at the last measurement and got a size 16 which was absolutely perfect! The zipper seems to work well but I kind of don’t prefer to use it (ik it’s a pain in the butt but I like the process of lacing it up (also it allows me to lace it tighter than I’d be able to if I were just relying on the strength of the zipper to squeeze me in). I haven’t seen any rips or anything and I’ve laced it pretty tight, but I haven’t used it for long so I’m not sure of long term use. I feel like this is even more comfortable than a bra in some ways (I hate underwire but like the lifting effect and have always liked “long line” bralettes). The boning is comfortable and flexible enough to conform to my body yet stiff enough to hold me in.I absolutely love this thing and have a feeling I’m going to be buying quite a few more!

Beautiful wardrobe addition
I absolutely love scarlet darkness for this!!!! If you're unsure about getting this, please give it a try. The quality is so nice and easy to zip into. I wear a large and third version was true to size. I love it so much! I think you can readjust the size with the ties in the front. But I'm unsure since I have not tried it.

SO CUTE!!
The media could not be loaded. I LOVE this corset top! Wow! It’s beautiful. I bought it to wear with a hobbit costume.It is EXACTLY as described and pictured. Fit was as expected.There’s a lace front with a beautiful soft satin ribbon. Then on the side there’s a zipper closure. The zipper is very sturdy and it blends in well, you can’t really tell that it’s there. It was easy to get on because they ship it with the front already laced. So all you have to do is loosen the front and slide in through the side, and zip yourself in. I also like how there’s freedom in the size of the corset. Scroll to the video to see what I mean. The front “flap” underneath the ribbon is a couple inches wide so you can wear it tighter or looser and it will still look perfect.It will work for varying shoulder heights because the ribbons are not just decorative, they are all functional. So you can really make this corset fit exactly how you like it too.Overall I’m so happy with the quality and price. I would buy it again.

So close to perfect
As much as I loved the fit of the bodice and the colors (I'll be wearing it to a Ren Faire this weekend, so I'm not returning it, but I also wanted to just have it as a top for a Texas summer), the straps are too loose and long for me. I have a short torso and I'm a petite person, very hourglass-shaped, 5'2 on a good day, 36C, and about 145 lbs. There is ribbon to tie through the straps to adjust them but there is still some looseness/bulging on the shoulders. I'd expect that from a $20 corset top, but not a $40 one. I originally ordered a large and exchanged it. The side zipper is a little difficult to put on by myself. However, it is comfortable, and the red floral colors are lovely.

Super cute!
I’m 5’10”, 220 lbs & got the size 16, which is my usual size. I would say it fits pretty true to size. I don’t have a big chest, so if I went up one size for it to be easier to get on, the chest area would definitely have too much gap. I re-laced the strings (perfectly adjustable) & it fits nicely — really holds you in. I’m using this mainly for a costume but it’s cute, so I’ll wear it out too! It’s cute & good quality. I’d order again!

Worth reading this review..
The media could not be loaded. It's definitely a mid quality corset but you get what you pay for so I'm happy with the quality for the price (I was able to purchase it during a sale so I didn't pay in full). The first one I received had issues with the side zipper splitting open but after a super easy, quick exchange process I received another and it fit perfectly! Lately, my weight has been fluctuating between 120lbs-126lbs but I have a bigger chest so I had to size up in order to accommodate the girls, if you know what I mean 😂. It's not like an actual real corset, if you've ever worn a real high quality one you'll know exactly what I'm talking about and understand why the price is so different. All in all this is definitely a budget friendly corset. Just be prepared for quality control issues so if you're buying one for a special event, make sure you give yourself enough time to receive the corset so you can inspect it for flaws like with the zipper splitting open etc that way you'll have enough time to exchange it in case you do come across issues. I've read other reviews with zipper issues as well. I love these budget friendly corsets so much that I immediately purchased 4 more so now I have 5 from this brand. The side zipper is useful and makes it easier to put on. All their corsets are so pretty!

Amazing!
Just like the pictures. It’s easy to work with if you know how to lace shoes. The material is sturdy, I don’t see it coming apart any time soon. The colors are spot on compared to the photos. Size is a little big when completely tight, doesn’t offer that authentic “push up” look from medieval times that you see in shows. However, might be able to chitchat with a size smaller. Overall, it’s perfect in my opinion. Great bodice and highly recommend for any renaissance event.
