For the low price I did not expect much and was pleasantly surprised. I have a corset though worn only once and not very extreme gesschnürt, but it has kept all shaped the character and thus fulfills its purpose. I wear otherwise a 44 with relatively narrow waist and ordered the corset in XL. With this size, I can get myself in shape, but not extreme pure lace, I then need a smaller number. I am also very large with 180cm and have a long torso, so I was concerned only. Nevertheless, the corset is sitting but really great!
