Review on Unleash Your Gothic Side With Kranchungel'S Steampunk Corset Skirt Renaissance Dress by Cindy Payne

The hardest part for most women when ordering and getting the wrong size is they do not grasp the great difference between Asian sizing and US/EU and are really reluctant when normally a much smaller size like an a XL or 1XL to order a 4XL or greater, it often feels insulting that their measurements fall into those sizes as in US/EU sizing that would be considered huge. I see many remarking that they ended up with one too small as they went smaller the measurements because it said to get a 4XL and they normally buy the US size that is several sizes smaller so they take a size smaller than they should. Going with the instructions of measure the waist and buying according to that size will, with most, get you a spot on fit unless you have a very large weight in proportion to your body, then the bust will be too loose and depending on the proportion of your hips too large or too small. The corset is pretty adjustable so if you go with the waist size you should be okay but the skirt might be too large. You can also buy the costume in pieces with the skirt separate form the corset and have more options in getting a corset and skirt in different sizes and the cost is about the same (and actually save you a few dollars in some size or style combinations). Asian sizes actually only Western women up to 2XL but that would be a 6XL and its often hard to click on a size so much larger than your really used to wearing.I am a seamstress that makes custom renaissance and other costume in the high end but needed something quick and not expensive and its did not need several weeks of detailing for a Halloween Day of the Dead party so decided to buy one of these. The fabric is dece quality and corsets are period accurate from the look even if the material and hardware are not. They are not as 'costumy' as one would expect and I would say that even foe someone just getting into period reenactment they would be a decent starter corset as long as one stays away from inappropriate colors :) The workmanship is very good and that needs to be considered in a corset of you do not want things that are supposed to be supporting you to be tearing with movement. I always where a new corset for about 12 hours before wearing it for an even and I just finished up a 14 hour test drive and it was comfortable the whole tie, no areas that poked or was binding, it adjusted well to my body and provided the necessary support. In comparison if I duplicated th costume, even using the same materials my wholesale price for materials and labor would have run in the area of 80-100 dollars so this is definitely a decent find
