Camellias Women's 26 Steel Boned Heavy Duty Waist Trainer Corset Shaper for Weight Loss

Ok ladies, here is the skinny on sizing yourself for a corset. A corset is made to (when laced) take up to 2-4" off of your natural waist size. Think "Gone with the wind", and Scarlet has to be at 13" to fit her dress, so it was pulled tighter. So i have a 45" waist (i know, and I digress), that doesn't mean the corset that will fit my 45" waist should be bought at a size for 45", rather buy the corset that will give me the desired waist measurement after it's tightened or as I like to say "trussed". When you are a beginner meaning first time corset wearer order the size that will give you 2-4" smaller than your natural waist size (any smaller you might get light headed and pass out.) The laces are long but as I found not long enough to give me my desired max of 4". Easily fixed by buying the longest pair of shoe strings to add the length I needed to adequately trus my corset. Remember with each wear how much you need to tighten it will change as the corset breaks in and adjusts to your body. There will come a day that you won't need the extra length of laces (so remove them, and relace).I make corsets, and have studied plenty on sizing, tightening, breaking in, and wearing. Trust me I bought the right size, if I went a size up I wouldn't get the desired look and fit I expect. This is a excellent corset, and I would recommend it highly to anyone. Every body is different, some of us need longer laces, but that In no way makes this a bad product, and the Only way to get a perfect fit is have a custom fitting by someone who knows the amount of laceing that will be needed to give you your desired effect. Hope this helps!Only thing that made it somewhat small, was the fact that I needed extra length on the laces. It was easily remedied by adding shoe laces to the bunny ear portion, added photo and re-lacing the corset. Great price point and excellent quality, for me (a seasoned corset wearer) very comfortable as well. I don't use it for waist training, only fashion; however the quality and durability of this brand fit the bill if that's what you're looking to do. Quick delivery too. I'm a full figured fluffy gal 5'4" size 20/22, purchased a 3x as I wanted the options of 2" - 4" reduction based on how I truss the garment, fully tightened I'm a solid size 18 in the waist.This waist corset has garter attachment loops, they can be hard to find so I have added photos of the loops (fingers pointing them out 4 per side since the size changes as you truss/cinch the corset).

Ok Ladies.... I just got this corset about 2 1/2hrs ago, but I have had corsets in the past. I'm going to try and make this concise and detailed. So this corset is really well made! very sturdy, which is important for us curvy girls ;) Here are my measurements: 32DDD-31-42....I am also 157lbs and 5'2 (Just so you have a mental pic to help), So I wanted to but a corset that would last a little bit longer as I slim down on my weight loss journey, so I bought a M(26). It fits peeeeeeerfectly! There's a lot of room to slim down. Okay so let's talk comfort... it's really very comfortable for a steel boning corset. It forces you to sit straight and does a great job at keeping everything in. It also sits really smoothly under your clothes. The only small thing is when you tie it...you may have to bring the string around the front to knot it or tie it in a bow(that may show through a bit in a tight shirt). Other than that? this is a great buy!!! I bought a corset from another company which shall remain nameless for $75-lol but it was a rubber/latex type. It was really well made, but it was cutting into my skin and leaving welts and bruising all over my back. My husband banned me from wearing it, stating the obvious "it was not worth the damage being caused"-lol. So this corset was a welcomed breath of fresh air for me! It's comfortable! it does it's job and makes my waist look cinched! Also I feel less hungry, probably cause my tummy is being squeezed-lol Anyway ladies... for those of you who are on the fence like I was a few days ago... It's a great investment and definitely worth the money. I wanted to make sure I was detailed enough in this review cause I reaaaally relied on these reviews before making my decision. I read them ALL, then I read them again-lol Hope this is helpful. I'm gonna post some pics for you guys too just so you can see what it looks like. Feel free to comment if there's anything else you want to know, I'm an open book. Ok sorry these pics aren't the greatest(I had to take them myself-lol). I wanted you guys to see how it looks on its own, with a loose fitting shirt, a tight shirt, and where it begins and ends for those who have shorter torsos like myself (It begins riiight under your bra line). Okay enjoy Ladies, hope this helps someone w/ their decision. :)
