Side by Side Comparison of: Camellias Corsets vs Alivila.Y Fashion Corset

While most people buy a corset for cosplay or for special occasions (i.e. weddings.) I wear corsets apart of my everyday wardobe, mostly when I am wearing dresses. So, I need a good corset! This corset has lived up to my expections. For starters, this corset does not have steel boning, but has plastic boning instead. I would recommend plastic boning in lue of steel to beginners until they have gotten use to corsets.The corset is made with satin and feels wonderful when it is on! The steel hooks did not give me any issues when I first place it on! The corset is easy to lace up!

I'm 5'0 and 179 lbs... my measurements are as follows: bust 40, waist 34, hips 42I ordered a 2x, 3x, and a 4x after reading tons of reviews and was very skeptical about ordering a corset online. Amazon recommended i order a 2x and they were spot on. When tightened correctly, it fit great. I loosened the ribbons a lot and snapped the front together BEFORE trying to tighten the ribbons. If done the other way around, you'll never get it on. My mom helped me get this on. I'd recommend you to have someone help you. My boobs are a D cup and sit nicely in this corset. Also because I'm short, it covers my tummy. The boning doesnt hurt and it helps my terrible posture. I bought it as a base for my poison ivy cosplay. There are no gaps in the back of the corset, meaning my skin isnt showing between the ribbon. I like it and can't wait to wear it to youmacon!

Size S fits perfect. I am 5"3', B cup, and 117lbs. The corsette is adjustable up to an additional 5 inches due to the laces and inset material behind the laces. When laced up I have 1 inch between the sides of the bodice. I would recommend following the size chart the co. provides, at least if you have a smaller bust. Larger busted women should go up one size. The only issue I have had is that it is hard to get all the metal button closures together.

Looks great - exactly as in the picture. There were no surprises in the appearance.I followed the sizing guide exactly, and I got the right size for me.I think the way to describe the material is that it's like an ever-so-slightly stretchy pleather. The material does have some give, but the overlay that gives it the sheen and metallic effect doesn't stretch quite as much. So it does give a little, but if you stretch it too much, or pull it really tightly, the metallic overlay will perhaps separate or get "stretch marks." So I think the key with this one is to remember that it is *decorative* and shouldn't be worn super tightly for shaping. The sturdiness is better than I expected for the price, but if I really want to nip the waist in, I should wear shapewear underneath the corset. That way, the shapewear would take most of the tension, and the corset could just be laced as tightly as it needs to be to lay properly.I did detect a very slight unpleasant scent, but nothing like some of the reviews have stated. I wore it right out of the bag, and didn't notice the scent once I had it on.

Based on others reviews I ordered a size 3x. I am 5'3 185 pounds 38dd. It fits perfectly. If I were 3 inches taller it would not hide the baby fat nearly as well. I could have gotten into a size smaller but my chest wouldn't have fit. Completely worth the money.Only negative is the thong it's a akward triangle of fabric and elastic. Completely not wearable.

I love this so much! I got a 2XL an it fits just right. I usuly wair large shirts but I did what every one said an ordered biger so glad I did!

Lovely sexy waist-trainer! I love corsets this beauty is in my daily arsenal of must wears..it keeps my tummy tucked and in-line. does not do much for any pudginess near your groin/private area but the material is smooth and it easy to put on. I would say that it gets reshaped over a few wears and it fans out based on your shape at the waist so if your wearing snug or tight clothing, the corset impression will show and it will look a bit off...but otherwise wonderful.

Love it thought for the price it was going be super cheaply made I am really impressed the way it laced is easy for self-tieing and it snugs me right in. I'm 35 in waist but train down to 33 and this fit great with no major issues

Absolutely LOVE this corset waist trainer!! I figured for the price that it would be poorly made but I was told to try a few different styles so I ordered one from eBay, a expensive one at a boutique and this one and I will say this one is my favorite of the 3 and the cheapest one! I was worried about the size as many said the sizing is way off but it was perfect for me. I am 5'8 164lbs and a E sup size. I went according to my measurements and the sizing was dead on!My favorite Amazon purchase yet!!!!!

Good lightweight corset. For $10 - it definitely seems well made. Does not bunch and is pretty sturdy. I always were a tank underneath because my skin get pretty moist and that sometimes causes breakouts. I’ve been waist training for the past month and this will make a great backup corset!

Perfect hour glass figure. true to size if you actually have you're correct measurements.

This corset is great for beginners. When the thought of losing weight by "training" your waist became a thing I might due, I came to the reality i was probably going to be uncomfortable for a while, and perhaps give up. For these reasons I needed a few things:A. a really cheap corset2. one that would fit well, so if i gave up, i could use it for fashionC. to be adjustable, but easy enough to put on by myself (due to having no hand maidens because i am unwilling to pay them)4. to learn how to make a list with either numbers OR letters, not bothThis corset came in very quickly. It is really pretty, i must say. I got a 3x/4x due to the reviews I've read here. I got to say, all you guys made me scared my eyeballs were gonna pop out! The corset fits great! I just bought a 2x though because i laced this one all most all the way, so if it works, i'll be sizing down hopefully soon.Now, about the coming to terms with the uncomfortable squeeze....the thing is comfy, and get this, i never have had good posture....until now!I had resigned myself into thinking that is was going to be awful, and that the first week i would just sleep in it to get used to the feel. sleeping with it would be easy, cause your already stretched out, and not trying to bend over.I started right away wearing it in the day though. its great guys. I suggest itby the way, I am 5'8 tall, without heels or shoes, and i weigh 200lbs (don't you dare tell anyone!) I carry myself well i believe, and i have big *cough*...well you know. I've got a big behind n thighs too, so i'm not sure you can go by my waist size to judge.but, I wear an 18 in jeans, and a 3x/4x fits great. I would suggest buys it and the 2x, for when you size down.don't let it scare you when it looks so small when it gets there, just loosen the laces all the way, and have someone help you.or do like i did, loosen laces all the way and tie them. then lay the corset on the bed, lay on top of it. SUCK IT IN, and latch that sucker. I did the bottom first, cause thats where the action is, so to speak (spare tire). then, latcht up from there. when you can't get up cause your like a board, just roll off the bed.You'll be so beautiful, it won't matter you have to craw to your dresser to hoist yourself up!My heart is in my throat, and its never tasted so good!just kidding, the thing is great and i really do like it. I bought two and its perfect for beginners. if its uncomfy, try sleeping in it for the first few days.

I am 5'2" and 105 lbs and the small was perfect for me. This corset is high quality and sturdy. I love how soft and comfortable it is too. It's much softer than it looks in the picture. It fits perfectly and surprisingly doesnt slide around or fall too low around my bust. This is surprising because I am a very petite woman and usually when I have a top that is strapless, it falls down a bit (itll be too big in the waist and too small or just right in the bust. even some corsets do this on me). I LOVE that the bow in the front doesnt come pre-tied, so you can tie it any way you want or even tie it around your neck to give it a halter-top effect. The buttons (more like clasps, actually) in the front are difficult to get a hang of. I had to ask my boyfriend to put them together because my hands were too weak to press them together correctly. But once they were in place, they were super sturdy and looked great too. They are also a lot easier to take off (but not so easy that they pop open). This also came with a cute black g-string, which was unexpected. It was very smooth and soft just like the corset. I gave it to my room mate bc I dislike thongs and g-strings, but she says she likes it and it fits her perfectly. I would have given this corset a 5 star rating if it weren't for ONE thing, and that is the fact that two of the clasps had holes that were too small, so they didn't close all the way. That would have usually been a deal-breaker for me, BUT they dont look bad or noticeable at all and barely take away from the structural integrity of the corset. Just to test this out, I wore the corset around the house for a while as I did some chores. Bending over, stretching, play fighting, and walking did not move it around or look gross, and not once did another clasp come undone or did one of my boobs slip. Overall this corset is wonderful, the price is really good considering the quality, and I will definitely buy another.

Love this corset! It was the perfect addition for my Halloween costume this year, I went as a Voodoo-Priestess and it gave me just enough oomph to make my costume a hit! Some things to note I ordered an XL and I'm a 29/30 inch waist in gap jeans and have 36D bra size.Which was the recomended size on the size chart. I made it work however, I def could have gone up one full size as I was not able to close the back as tightly as I had envisioned. It did however still look great from the front and held my girls in sitting up nice and perky lol.It was no biggie for me because I was still able to pull off the look I was going for but should i purchase from them again I will loose a few inches off my waist or go up a size! Ha more likely the latter of the two!!! :) Second thing to be noted it was listed as Gray however as you will see in the picture it's def a gold color with a black lace over lay (very sexy) I was aware of this beige the purchase because I had read other reviews! Third the material that gives the shape is a plastic material I believe so after three nights of partying I could see it loosing it's shape in the chest area probably due to me dancing and getting in and out the car started to cave in a bit but my girlfriend da said they couldn't tell, but for $20 I'm not really complaining just want to point it out! Will def purchase again in the future for costumes!

First of all, do not order this based on your shirt size or your bra band size. Order based on your current measurements. I like this corset but I ordered the size that corresponded to my measurements and I should have ordered down a size. It fits perfectly but doesn't allow for reduction in the waist. I know this is primarily a decorative corset but I was hoping for a teensy bit of reduction as well as good support for the girls. The construction is great for the price. I ordered an XL. I wear a 34DDD bra, size M top and size 10 pants. I'm 5'6" and curvy. It fits like it was made to measure and closes completely, but I would like it a bit tighter in the bust for wearing as a strapless bra and I can't tighten it any further. So if all you want is something pretty that fits, order according to your measurement. If you want a little reduction and good support, order down a size. For proper fit, a corset should have a 2" gap in the lacing in the back once it it tightened as desired, so subtract two inches from your body measurements if you want reduction and support. This will give you plenty of room to tighten it, especially once it stretches with wear. The modesty panel in the back is approximately 4" so you'll have plenty of coverage even with the gap in lacing. I'd exchange it but it was inexpensive and I can take it apart and use it to make a pattern to sew my own with the hardware from this one. As a seamstress who is interesting in historical costuming, this will be a good experiment. I may order another one in the smaller size, too - at this price, why not? The G-string that came with the corset is laughable and was too big anyway. I threw it away.

The color of the main picture of the corset makes it look like a brown leather with gold embossed or studded skulls. The other pictures look more like the actual color/design but I was going based off the main one. While I would prefer it be more brown/gold than bronze, it is still a very nice looking corset. I'm 5'3, 126 lbs, 34C and ordered a medium. According to the size chart, I would be a medium or large, but the medium is too big. I put it on and laced it until it was completely together and it looked nice, but it definitely needed to be tighter. I reordered in a small and hopefully it will arrive faster as it took about a week to get to me (with Amazon Prime grrr). Will update the review when it arrives.Edit:I received the small MUCH faster than the medium. I got it in 2-3 days whereas the medium took a week. I'm thinking maybe it was the fault of another seller in the shipment...but then I wish they had done separate shipments. The small fits SO much better. However, there is a HUGE difference between the small and medium. The medium laced all the way and was still way too big. The small I had to unlace completely to fasten. It tightened a lot but there are several inches of space. If I tightened it super tight, it would be nice, but since it is more of a fashion corset than a functional corset, I would be a bit afraid to do that. I think the corset is amazing, perfect for costuming or even a punky outfit. It will look great for my viking costume and I would wear it out with friends as well. Great price. I would think a small would be too large still for a teeny tiny waist, not sure if they do xs. I am quite happy with my purchase, A+

This is one sexy corset. I'm 5'1 and 105 lbs. I wear 32 C boobs. This makes my boobs look close to Ds, it really gives you a lift. It does fit a bit small around the waist. I have a 24 inch waist. So size accordingly.

This is a very beautiful corset. It is favorably priced and very well made. I am not a professional seamstress, but I dabble in sewing and crafting enough to know a well made item from a cheaply made one. This is a very well made item, the seams are neat and complete. The fabric has a good weight to it, which is essential for a corset. I am not planning on wearing it to shreds, so I am sure that it will last me a long time. I bought this corset for the purpose of spicing up the intimacy in my marriage... After many years of marriage and the whirlwind of raising little kids, I find this sweet little corset to be just what I need to bring a little bit of fun back to my relationship with my husband! I usually wear size 4-6 in dresses (8 in UK dress size). With the help of other reviewers here I got a Medium and I am glad I did. It fits very nicely. I am giving it four stars because I was hoping there would be a little more cupping/shaping at the top, however, the corset pretty much makes me flat (am small chested - 34, small B). It does make the waste look small and dainty. The sides of the corset on the back come in complete contact with each other on me (so, I can't make it tighter). If it helps, I am 34 (nearly B)-27-37 in Chest-Waist-Hip ration. I found the front closures to be a bit tricky... it took some tinkering to close the front and I could only do it after I closed the very top and the very bottom, following with the middle clasps after that.

Yes, it's cheap. Doesn't really constrict much at all. I would not use this as an actual waist trainer. If you just want to look good and have something that is super easy to put on this is great. It is true to size, and if you can't or don't want to lace it as tight as it can go it has a vanity cover. For the price it's great.

I ordered this for a Halloween costume, and it was great-- for one night of tightly-laced wear. My waist is 28 or 29 inches, depending on if I've eaten yet that day, and I got the medium. It fit just fine, although I had ordered others before, so I knew what to expect.This is not a good corset for everyday, moving around, bending over, repeated use waist training wear. The plastic boning will bend out of shape, the satin will wrinkle to hell and back where the bends are, and the ribbon provided is a bitch to undo. THAT SAID, it's inexpensive, comes in many colors, and was perfect for what I wanted it for. If you're dressing up for a day or doing something fun at home for a short time, this is a great choice. If you want to walk around all day tightlaced, this is not going to hold up-- don't expect more out of the product than it's meant to give.

The clasps in the front feel really cheap and poorly made but this does have steel boning and it works really well as a corset! It is really good for the price, the only problem is the front metal clasps can sometimes pop out and you have to hook them back again. It is really hard to find a real steel boned corset for this price though so you can't beat it! I have a size 31 natural waist and I ordered the size large and it fits perfectly! There is a lot of room in the back to adjust if need be. I normally wear a medium in shirts so I would suggest only getting one size up or sticking with your real shirt size if you want it to be an actual waist cincher. I had to lace the strings almost all the way to the end so I could have gotten a medium instead so I could wear it for longer.

Construction is very nice. Definitely had to loosen it all the way so I could "button" it up though. The hooks on the front as shown in the picture are like little nobs, so if you are wearing something super tight fitting (for example I plan to wear this under a leotard for a Sailor Mars cosplay) then maybe wear a tanktop underneath or something?

Not great quality, the satin is very shiny and feels cheap, and the boning is plastic, but it worked for my purposes. I bought this for a costume and it was pretty fun to wear. I wore it over a shirt and skirt and it was pretty cute. Be careful not to pull it too tight or it can get difficult to breath. I'm not sure why they include a thong that feels like it is made from paper. I just threw the thong out. I'll be keeping this in case I want to wear it for another costume.

Arrived promptly with Amazon prime, just 2 1/2 days later. Not steel boning, not high quality (but better than most in this price range), wrinkled quite a bit and doesn't stay smooth, but you can't tell under a t-shirt, and definitely worth it for $10 dollars. I would buy again! I probably will have to once this one breaks ;). Helped my posture, gave me a more well-defined waist, and looks great over, or under, a t-shirt. A bit too hot for summer, and I would recommend wearing a thin cotton tank between the corset and your skin to keep it clean. My measurements are:Bust: 40inWaist: 35inHips: 40inWeight: 185lbsSize I bought: LargeTip for sizing: Alright ladies, keep in mind the corset measurement are NOT your current measurements. They should be 3-5 in smaller than your waist right now, depending on your squish factor. The corset should not fit you so that the two sides meet in the back. If this happens you have bought a size too big. For ex: for my 35in waist, I ordered a corset that measured 28-30in, because:1) I know how much my waist can cinch in (about 5 inches - this is NOT for everyone! My sister is 125lbs and her squish factor is only 2 inches),2) the garment size range (Large: 28-30in) is the corset when it is not being worn (i.e. not being stretched.) Take the higher number as the final garment measurement. For the Large size this was = 30in3) Minus your squish factor from your waist measurement = the final garment size you should buy. (Ex: 35in - 5in = 30in)Remember, this is for squishing and helping your posture - do not expect the comfort of yoga pants! Get someone to help you put it on if you need too (thanks mom!) or watch a Youtube video on how to put it on alone. (also, if you are interested: look up some videos on how to relace it so the ribbons ends end up in the middle of the back, not at the top = easier to put it on by yourself.)Hope that helps!

I bought this to wear for my little red riding hood costume for Halloween, to be worn one night out, and another night trick or treating,Upon receiving this corset, I was impressed by how beautiful it is! The front metal clasps where very hard to get all of them on, as they tended to pop off as you get another one undone. The lacing in the back isn't very study, so I was worried about it holding up for 2 nights. I am a 38E cup size, and I only had about 0.5 -1in of fabric between my nipple and the top of the corset, with it pulled perfectly in place. As I was going to be dancing, I ended up wearing a black strapless bra underneath that was slightly visible, or I would have had a Janet Jackson moment. The boning is some form of rigid plastic, so it is NOT going to work to give you a cinched in waist AT ALL. I did have it fairly tight, so that after about 1.5 hours, I had to loosen it. I did wear it for about 8.5 hours, and by that time, I was HURTING. The boning had bent in such a way that it was cutting into my waist line on my back. The next morning, I had bruises along my waist line, little dots where each one of the boning gave me a buise, and large bruising and chaffing on the sides of my breasts by my armpits, and I was sore, for DAYS.All in all, it was a beautiful corset, and had I not had it so tight in the waist it would have been as terrible, but it wont ever be worn again, as the boning is permanently bent. Next time, I will invest in something more durable.

I was amazed by how pretty the corset was when I first opened it. It is also very soft. I have sensitive skin and I'm always worried about things rubbing on my nipples but it wasn't irritating at all! I had a really hard time getting all the clasps to close at once, and if I didn't get them all at once and just tried to start from top to bottom or something, they tended to get stuck awkwardly so I couldn't get the corset off or clasp the next ones. So then I tried to button all the clasps before putting it on and tighten it later, which was difficult on my own. I got the bottom tight enough but not the bust area, so I twisted the corset around my body so the lace part was in the front, tightened it a little more, and twisted it back. Except when I twisted it back, the boning in the bust area popped through the material, soooooo I still don't know if it's too small (I think it may show an inch or so of skin past the modesty flap, nothing major, especially considering I have a beautiful back tattoo I love showing off anyway.) BUT no returns optional anymore lol. It's okay. I sewed it up and will use it for my halloween costume, and I'll have my boyfriend help me with it later. It's steel boning in the front two bones but the rest are plastic, which makes it more comfortable. Wouldn't recommend for waist training or surprising your partner with something sexy (because of the difficulty putting it on) but it's okay, and it's really pretty.I'm 5'0" with a shorter torso and it's a little long in the front, but I expect that in most things I buy. The back hits my butt perfectly, but the front I'm afraid is going to stab into my vulva while sitting! Lol I weigh 150lbs and wear a 36DD. I ordered the XL because I like corsets tight, but lik3 I said above, I may have been better with a XXL.

I've only worn this once, but the corset seems to be made pretty well. Note that it laces up with ribbons and not cords. It did run very small (even though I went by the size chart), and I had to loosen the lacing to the point that the modesty panel in the back barely covered the gap between the laces. I bought this corset to wear to an 80's party, so I didn't have time to exchange it for a larger size. Even so, I managed to stuff myself into it, and it didn't look too bad. The other issue I had with it is that I didn't feel it was very flattering at the bust. It seemed to flatten everything out instead of pushing it up as corsets are supposed to do. On the up-side, it was inexpensive, held up well and suited the purpose. I would recommend as a costume piece, but definitely size up.

I'm giving this corset three stars only because I consider that to be an average rating. When I say average I am talking about corsets in this price range. I bought this corset as a surprise for my wife. Immediately she liked the design. It fit her very nicely and she was comfortable in it, Fortunately she has curves in all the right places for a corset. I was able to get the lacing just right to give her a snug fit and have it look great. My wife owns many different types of corsets, one of which is handmade and cost in the hundreds. She's been wearing corsets off and on for close to 10 years. That being said I'm fairly confident in saying that this corset is more of a costume piece then a shapewear peace. If your intention is to do any kind of body shaping this is not the piece for you. If you want something sexy and fun to wear as a corset, either on top of clothes or not, this corset is can be lot of fun. The materials used in making this corset are very basic. The outer shell is a stretchy imprinted vinyl that is lined on the inside. It provides some shape and support but it is definitely not the type of boning you would see in a corset designed for body shaping; boning in those types of corsets are made out of metal and are far more frigid. You would probably find similar corsets in the mall, maybe at a Spencers. No one will ever confuse this corset with a high priced one when they see you in it. But they will say it is cute, sexy and fun.Great for steampunk, gothic, or even Halloween events. Not bad for bedroom use either if you're into that kind of thing...

If you are larger chested (I am a D cup) purchase a different item. This one cinches so tightly that it is almost painful to wear. I don't think this would be too comfortable for anyone over a B cup.I is beautiful, however, well made out of sturdy material, especially for the price. The closures are well made and stitched in tightly to close the bustier well. The colors are rich and vibrant. With the exception of the fit, I was happy with this item

Very pretty corset and fits ok. Feels like it has plastic and not steel as it bends very easy and does very little to hold in my waist/stomach. I ordered an XL and it fits and once on, it pushes the bust up, maybe a bit too far, but for some outfits may be ok. When you have it on under a tighter shirt, the top of it pokes out a bit in the front and looks really weird. The bottom is tied as tight as I can get it and the front/bottom also sticks out. It doesn't hold as well as others I have purchased. If you just want a cute/basic corset, this is the one to get. There is ribbon in the back and not a cord as stated in the description.

Jeff's Daughter: This is the first real corset I have purchased. In terms of size, it fits. But after being worn a few times, the entire piece has become slightly off center. It pinches in on the right side while the left is fine. From the front, the problem is clearly visible. When standing, the clasps are obviously not lined up vertically. They look more diagonal. I've attempted to realign it many times, but it continues to remain askew. I now own many other corsets and none of the others have this problem. As a first corset, this was nice. A fair price for the value, but not meant to last long

Fit notes: I am size 14-16 on the bottom, 16-18 on the top and the 6x was a good fit for use over some thin clothing as a costume. If I were looking for actual corsetting, I would have picked a smaller size (5x or 4x), but also would not have gone with this cheap corset.It looks exactly as pictured, which is great, but after only 2 somewhat light uses (costume use, not proper corsetting), it is already warping. Furthermore, one of the plastic bones has poked out the bottom a couple times.All in all, while I'm happy with my purchase and the speed it arrived, I'd say buy cautiously, keeping in mind what you want to use it for.Also, the thong they send is about 4 sizes too large and looks supremely uncomfortable.

I suppose that you get what you pay for. I was under the impression that this would be a better quality corset than "fashion corsets" because it has "training" in the title. It's really not. It wouldn't withstand the abuse I would end up giving it. I love corsets like this, but when I laced it up you can see where the stitches started pulling the fabric. It also folded at the top edges over my ribs.In the end, it's not much different than novelty corsets. It has decent quality to it for the price, but I thought it would be a couple notches better than the ones only meant to be fashionable. I would only recommend this for regular wear because of that- it wouldn't last long if you cinch it up expecting it to be true tummy control. Do not expect miracles from this corset.The pink is pretty, though, and these are not true to size at all. These are also not for anyone who has a longer torso.

So before I start I wanna disclose that I'm 5'8" and my measurements are 42-35-45. I bought this expecting that it would be a bit short on me. I also mistakenly bought this thinking it had spiral steel boning when the description says plastic, which was my fault, not the seller's.The Pros:-Inexpensive-Nice material, very pretty to look at-It has garter tabs-Comes pre-laced with a strong ribbon-Strong busksThe Cons:-The back flips up, bending the bones helped but it didn't completely fix it-The plastic boning makes it unsuitable for anything more than a 1"-2" reduction, when I tried tightlacing with it I noticed some minor bruising-The boning on the sides started poking through after about seven hours of wear-The modesty panel is too short, doesn't cover the top and bottom of the lacingOverall, it's a good fashion corset, but I wouldn't use it for tightlacing, waist training, or any other heavy duty wear. I'm going to replace the plastic boning with some spiral steel bones I have laying around. I think once the boning has been replaced it'll be suitable for waist training because the material is very sturdy.

I bought two of these at the same time, in different colors. I ordered size large in both of them, however one of them is a little small and the other one is too large. If they are both made by the same company and are the same size(SUPPOSEDLY), why are they inconsistent in fitting? Also, one of them had the flap by the tie in the back and another one didn't. They are both cute but fit very differently.

I got my corset in today. Tried it on and realized that it probably wont fit me after using it for a week. The material is sturdy came in on time and it looks amazing...! I'm a size 20 in jeans about a 2x in shirts..44 inch waist and I ordered the 6xl.. I wish I would have gotten the 5lx.. Down side is that there isn't anything in there with a customer service number and I haven't been able find the vendors number online to exchange it :( oh one more thing (big girls) its hard to get on... If u have no one to help u...tie the lace to ur liking first, then lay down n suck it in to hook it shut..lol Thats what I did..fits nice n snug but its almost closed in the back... Hope this was helpful!

I received what "looked" like the corset but it was a straight cut across the top, not the downward cut as pictured. It fits like a glove however. Nice material as well. I am 5'4, 130 lbs so I got the large. Size up because you can always pull it in from the back lacing. If I would have gotten what I ordered, I would have given it 4-5 stars

Too tight and the string wasn't thick enough. I'm now looking for a zipper corset

Nicely made but even though the bodice fit well the cups were absolutely enormous. I couldn't wear it and had to return it. I'm a size 6 32B cup a slight pear shape.

I got for halloween it was okay for that but seriously not that great, its really short and fits 3 sizes to small. The straps were flimsy ribbon and not great material at all

I just think the product is way to small I order a size bigger the. I would normally get and it was still really really small.

It looks nothing like the picture. The picture has a sweetheart neckline and the corset is straight across and squished my breasts completely flat. It's way too small

I am a 38C, about 5ft and a half. With a 32in waist. I read the reviews, it was a 50/50 chance that whatever I would choose would maybe fit... I ordered an XL. Going by the measurements. Came in today and it was far from what it said it would be. In fact, it seems to fit three sizes too small.... Looked good if it would have fit! Sending back for a refund!

It really is just a fashion corset, not a real corset if you're into corsetry and shaping the body. It does not have steal bones, just hard plastic. The strings were too short although the corset fit me all the way around. If worn during any activity where you will be moving a lot expect the plastic bones to bend, which can be uncomfortable. I got poked in the side and could not take it off while I was out, when I finally did get a chance to take it off I had red marks where the bones bent. They bent from me sitting to adjust my shoes. This is fine for a costume or for a style.

I read the reviews and went up two sizes, and this still didn't fit. It seems as if it is meant for someone with very little curvature because I could lace it completely closed at my waist but it would not close as I laced down towards my hips. I imagine that if I sized up, it might fit my hips but then would be too large in the waist. The fabric looks shiny and cheap, but that is to be expected. However, the busk and the metal closures at the front are very sturdy. I would recommend this for someone who does not have a large difference in circumference between her waist and hips, and definitely size up!

The boning is absolutely plastic. I have moderate scoliosis, and on the side which I lean to, the boning bends at an acute angle and eventually pokes me until I take it off and bend it back, which takes less effort than it takes to bend a Bobby pin. Before buying this, I bought a great quality corset from a corsetiere that would never bend at that sharp of an angle in the boning, let alone anywhere else. I'm still exploring corsets, so I thought this might be nice for my collection. After I realized it was plastic, I gave it to a friend who incorporated it into her cosplays, so it wasn't a complete waste! (:

The only way this works is if it fits you perfectly. I am not over weight, I was doing this to get better curves because I'm too much like a stick, however the XS was too large, there is only one setting, unlike most of the nicer ones which allow you to adjust the corset this one only has one setting which only works if it's sized perfectly for you. The quality isn't great either, not bad, but I wouldn't want to wear this for hours on in even if it did fit. I suppose this works better if you are over weight and want a girdle. I wouldn't say it's much of a waist trainer though. Honestly I would just save up and get a better model, wait a little longer till you can afford it then buy this cheap one. Again, there are worse options out there, however if you are want to purchase this with the intent of waist training, I would try elsewhere.

1st the reviews I read before purchasing were indeed correct. It is Pretty! But flimsy. The Ribbon in the back is not sturdy enough to hold the bustier together (for long). The closure in the front, is NOT reliable. There's no real way to keep it fastened. I am having to purchase about 2-4 yards of NEW ribbon. An will have to install a whole different way to fasten the front. I don't want to wear it in public, only to be embarrassed by it coming undone. DEFINITELY GO UP A SIZE, PREFERABLY TWO!! WAY SMALL!! The color is vibrant an pretty, the boning is cheap. An it's more an occasional type of corset. DEFINITELY NOT a Whittling Cincher - to boost your curves. I will be purchasing a NEW cincher. One more suitable to Whittle the Waist. Latex type with firm closure in the front, preferably with 3 rows so as I lose, I can tighten. What an experience. I was so hopeful & excited. Anxiously awaiting this. An Sorely disappointed when it came. As pretty as the color & material. It is NOT a waist cincher, but a decorative corset. That is it.

I wear a size 8/10. I bought a 2xl and it didn't even come close to closing. And it smelled very bad. Seriously, gross.

This was too small even after ordering a size larger just to be safe. Also poorly made. I requested to return it but haven't had the chance to. So now it is past the return day and I am stuck with it. I could have used the money to buy other things for my wedding. Very sad.

I wouldn't give this product one star due to fit being extremely small!!'

I have a lot of corsets, and my mesh Camellias double steel boned corset is my absolute favorite, so I had high hopes for this one. I am 5'3", 152 lbs, wear a sz 12 dress and a 36G bra and ordered a 3x according to my measurements. This corset is NOT made for women with breasts! The hourglass shape shown is simply not correct at all. The front seaming is straight up, and while it does get WIDER at the top, there is no CURVE whatsoever. So basically, this smashes all of your breast tissue flat until it spills over the top. If you have lots to spill over the top, you end up with a weird shelf of torpedo breasts. If you're under a B cup, go ahead and try it, but well endowed ladies should look elsewhere. The boning is flimsy all around. I would not recommend it, even at this price.

Very very cheaply made, ugly and clasps aren't like normal corsets. Not super big, but definitely doesn't fit the way a corset is supposed to. Way too small and awkwardly shaped on the breast area, but too large and bulky everywhere else. I ordered according to measurements and ordered down little expecting I could maybe adjust back, but can't see even working if it was a size smaller. It's not a pretty white, but a almost dirty white color too. Wouldn't order again. Hope I could return since sizing if off. Also, seller is annoying and sends multiple emails requesting a positive review.

First of all, my friend (who is a size larger than me) ordered this in black and medium. Her's fits perfectly, a little large on me obviously but perfect for her. So with this information I ordered a small size in white. Our Halloween costumes are supposed to go together in an opposite sense. I believed that I was ordering the same exact corset but in a different color, however there are many things different from hers. Her black corset is shorter than my white one, this is one aspect where the medium is SMALLER than the small. The black medium corset also came with two ribbons to use to lace up the back (very helpful in the sense that a woman's hips and breasts are not always easy to work with, this way you can easily tighten or loosen the top or bottom of the corset as needed) the white corset only came with one ribbon that is extremely long and hard to work with. The tag in the black corset says medium while the white says small but the tags are different which leads me to believe that they are not the same brand, even though the print and style are almost identical. I have attached photos of the corsets laying next to each other and with the clasps lined up to show the size difference and the tag difference.

I wear small corsets usually sized 18-20inches and ive worn smalls before with no issue, this was cheaply made ,fraying before i even got it out of the packaging. Only reason I gave it one star is because it came 3 days later (on a sunday??? ) from when i ordered it. I could have gotten a better quality underbust from the local cheap costume store for the same price . DO NOT BUY IF YOU WANT IT FOR WAIST TRAINING!!You will have to relace ot to be more centered , and with stays as well. The ribbon is cheap and will instantly break. The g sting that it came with doesnt even fit, it would fit someone who is plus sized without even falling off, i wear medium-large panties and it didnt stay up.

Too small is a gross understatement I purchased a 3xl and it barely wraps half way around me. The sizing is definately not usa sizing if I were to guess I would say a 3xl is more like a size 12 petite. Be aware that this runs extremely small. If i had known it was that bad i just plain wouldn't have ordered it. The only saving grace is that the return shipping is free.

As my first corset, I think it is rather well built. It 'sucks everything in' just like it's supposed to, and helps me standing straight. I wish I had looked to read that the boning was plastic, because I would have bought a different one. It tends to bend slightly in the back, but not much. I think it will be a great starter corset and I hope to continue through my journey of waist trainingUPDATE: I HATE THIS THINNG. After having it for only 2 weeks, it is completely done for. It's bent all out of shape with no chance of fixing it. I would return it if I could, but I've already used it. I will be purchasing an actual waist cincher shortly.

I bought a extra large because of the reviews. I'm glad I did. The problem with it is its cheaply made. Part of this is made from plastic and thin material.. After a few hours of wearing it the plastic started coming through and eventually broke the material that was holding it in place. It's sharp and will scratch you. The front where the "buttons" are, is a gap and this gap, if you have any lose skin will pinch your tummy. There are really long strings that hang out the back. So it doesn't look smooth. And can be tucked in whatever bottoms you are wearing. It doesn't stay. You get what you pay for. For $10 it's not worth it to me. I would not recommend this product for a long time use.

it arrived quickly which is great it is pretty and all that but the point is, did it flatten my stomach? yes, but not for long, as soon as you bend over it kinks in the back and i have been suffering horrible back pain from this do not buy plastic ladies it must be steel boned corsets the plastic kinks and bends its horrible, i was hoping it would stay straight but no it didnt so listen to these reviews ladies unless you are slim and have a perfect shape actully it wont matter you will see the plastic kinks and it is severe backpain for you till you get that corset off i had to go and buy steel boned corset thank goodness they do not bend or kink very disappointed big time

I ordered up two sizes and it was still probably 2-3 sizes too small. I'm a 16 dress size, and ordered 3X since I normally wear XL or 1X tops. I could not even close it, let alone tighten it. The accompanying thong fit perfectly however so those are not sized appropriately to the tops. I'm guessing that if I had ordered a larger size, the g string would've been way too large.
