The corsage has a really good quality. Whether the metal bars are, I do not know, because so far was no seam, but the whole act so tough that I can not imagine that that will be just plastic, like some inner reviewer wrote. I had bought the corsage as a slim, tall woman (1.80m, dress size 38-40) in size L to get my really tremendous pregnancy belly after 2nd child under control. At first I got the thing then not at all, because it's fitted. After I done it once, it could be even nachgeschnürt repeatedly. In the short term it creates then the effect of the stomach disappear. Will you have a long-term success, you have (in addition to abdominal training, what I've been doing, and diet that I have behind me) carrying the part probably several hours a day. This then goes on but the lower ribs, as experienced Corsagenträgerinnen know well. In addition, while the back is supported so that the back muscles atrophied. My next approach is therefore to wear it only at night, when the muscles are not working anyway. Overall my front part of the corsage is a little too long - another corsage, which I ordered, is there something precisely fitting for me. Nevertheless, a high-quality and even pretty garment.
