Worth every cent and then some! I’m a bit lumpy and frumpy rather than curvaceous and gorgeous. Think apple rather than pear. I’ve never owned a corset but looking for a way to dress up the old apple I took a deep breath and ordered this one. Truthfully, given the price I really wasn’t expecting much but figured I wasn’t going to lose a lot if it wasn’t what I wanted. I was really surprised. The corset is lovely to look at and really good quality. The red color is very classy and the pattern is really pretty. In a word, it’s just ‘sexy’. I waited until I was home alone before trying it on. At first I thought I had ordered a size to small as I struggled with the lacing and hooks for a little while. But then a bit of common sense really went a long way and the size was perfect after all. I managed to get myself all dolled up for my first ever selfie shoot. Seriously, this corset made me feel so much better about myself! It smoothed out my my lumps and bumps and just made me look amazing. I felt so new and excited that I couldn’t resist sending a photo to my unsuspecting husband at work. He LOVED it, and I felt wonderful – even better when he came home early! I’ve since purchased two more corsets in other colors and styles, just waiting for the right time to wear them. I’m not exaggerating when I say that this first ever corset – bought purely on a whim, has actually changed my self image and dare I say it, my life. As a final comment, follow the size chart, it’s there for a reason!
