Review on Flaunt Your Curves With Charmian'S Underbust Corset Vest - Featuring Spiral Steel Boning And Brocade Design by Stephanie Burke

The corset seemed like it was good quality, but it was painfully small. I'm not corset wearer in general (this was for a costume), but even untied, I couldn't breathe and it was painful to wear. I got the XX-Large. I'm 5'5 140lbs and usually wear a size 6-8. I'm sort of straight through the middle and not super curvy, so maybe that factored in. I didn't have time to reorder before I needed it, but if I had, I think I would have gone up a size or maybe even 2. It was beautiful though and was well constructed. I can tell that the right size would have looked great. Also keep in mind that I'm writing a a non corset wearer. I saw another review that said it didn't cinch enough (!). She's made of tougher stuff than I am, but if you're looking for a super super tight fit or are used to corsets, maybe this is sized accurately. Otherwise, do your ribs and organs a favor and size up
