Not a cinching like a corset
920127
I am 5'6", 145 pounds, 31" waist; somewhat athletic build. The size chart indicates I am a size L. I read the reviews and bought the medium. I could not come close to fastening it. I kept it and ordered the L, hoping that wearing the large for a while, I would be able to get into the medium. I have been wearing the size large for a few days and i can't tell a difference. I don't really look slimmer with it on. My waist measures the same with or without it. It is really difficult to fasten, yet it doesn't feel tight. Maybe because I am comparing it to a corset. I have never used a wait trainer like this, but I have worn corsets.
I wonder if other reviewers just work harder to get it fastened to a tighter row of hooks. I seriously don't think I can but I will try.
3 stars because it does seem to be wel made, and it is comfortable. I am withholding judgement until I give it more of a chance.

I bought this one a little small as I was thinking of corsets. DO NOT buy this at the size you "would like to be", but it for the size that you currently are. I damn near killed myself wearing it for an hour in the car. That being said, this is very well constructed, very well sized and it WORKS. Gladly, I lost a little weight and now it fits much better. It's not a tall garment, so it's nice for this gal here who has a VERY short torso. Most of the other shapers I have tried come damn near up to my armpits, this is just enough coverage right where you need it most if all you want is a little nip in at the waist. As long as you buy the correct size, it's quite comfortable for sitting, it doesn't roll or bunch. It does get a little warm and it's not breathable, so I'd pass on this one for the hotter days in summer.  Otherwise, it's a great buy, it's very sturdy and practically invisible under all but the clingiest, flimsiest garments. Well worth it, just be sure you measure yourself properly and buy for your size, a cincher and a corset aren't quite the same....

This dress is not a dress at all, but  a long top instead.  It came to about my hips.  It's still cute and will go great with tights, jeans or even shorts.

lovely fabric and well made. The sizing seems to be based off of fully cinched. So although the corset fit when fully cinched, I could not cinch it any further than a somewhat loose basic fit. I like the corset snug and there is plenty of fabric in the back to go down a size or so that it can actually be tied properly.

This is one of few corsets with a zipper that isn't stupidly expensive. The fit is true to size and is so much easier to get in/out of. If you are skeptical, at least try it. You might be plesantly surprised.

So turns out that this isn't really a shirt, it's like a T-shirt dress. I was surprised that it was so long, but it's actually very cute as a dress. My roommate wants one too and I get complements on it all the time.

It was comfortable.  I did not like the potbelly effect of the bottom of the corset, but with this outfit I was not exactly going for attractive.

The corset is very nice that you can either use casually or as a costume.  It is constructed nicely and is put together well.

Based on Daisy's size chart online (not the Amazon one), I should have bought a 2x to fit my hips.  But my other full length corsets are XL (and my waist cincher type corsets are L), so I stuck with an XL on this one.  I am glad I did not follow the size chart. The XL could even be considered a little too big for me, but I think the L would be too small (or show too much skin at the laces for it to fit).  For reference, I'm curvy (36/31/41).

The quality of this corset is great, especially for the Amazon price!  I don't plan on using the skirt, got the ruffle panties instead.  But the price for the set was better than the corset alone.  If you are on the fence, give it a try, nothing to lose with free returns.  Only thing I wish it had was the privacy flap to hide any skin between the laces (but since this one runs big on me, I can cinch this all the way and don't have that issue - but in case that matters to you, I wanted to mention it).

I like this corset. It doesn't take long to season it. Once it is seasoned it feels like your not even wearing it.

Corsets are meant to be tight fitting. I just followed the sizing chart that is pictured on the side (which are roughly one size up from the amazon size chart). As far as corsets go this fits PERFECTLY!!!!

Giving 4 starts b/c it is not super hight quality, but then again it was only about $25 (and the 'g-string' is is a triangle of the fabric of the corset and elastic straps :| was not pleased with that) Overall this corset is wonderful for what I paid for and I cant wait to wear it to events.

It wasn't what I was expecting but it's ok.  I thought it was a nightshirt but it's a nightgown. I am 5'4" and it hits below the knees.  I weigh 130 lbs and it fits just loose enough around the waist, for someone larger it will be too tight. There are tie straps on the waist that are not shown in the picture. I cut them off as I don't see what the point is for these and it looks nicer on me without them.  I don't think I'll ever sleep in it, it's more of a button down shirt cotton than a nightshirt cotton.  It is very soft though.  I was expecting more of a turquoise for the main color but it's royal blue plus there is a lot more yellow than what the picture shows. I will be wearing this as a house dress not a nightshirt.

The corset part fits fine.  The jacket is a bit small if you're broad shouldered though.  Had to go without it, which was a shame.

I had bought this corset mainly because of the price, however I regret not getting the real deal even if it is for more. I bought this corset with the intention of using it for waist training. In that past I had used other corsets, but there is nothing to compare. The corset is not steel boned, so I do not feel that tight compression. Even when I tighten it and tie for extra tightness, I feel like its not molding me, if that makes any sense. Without the steel bones its not doing the job. I bought a small size, but it just ugh its just terrible. Look I know the price is appealing but honestly if you want to waist train just buy the real deal. You won't regret it. You will see and feel the difference.
If you want to use this corset for cosplay, or costume purposes buy it other than that two thumbs way down.

It's not fitted. It fits the way an oversized jean jacket would, which is what i was looking for.

First, the fit of this corset. You NEED an additional person to help you put this on. I tried to have the first time I put it on set up for the second time (by having someone help me) for me to do it by myself but it didn't work at all. Some reason a 32" waist is now XL which I think is stupid but it fits so I shouldn't complain. We were able to tie the back flush with the ends together. The metal boning in the front with the clips was very difficult to hook but I'm only wearing it for my wedding probably so I won't complain. Also, the image looks like the bra of the corset is more pronounced as to not squish the girls like a pirates costume but it does a tad, not to where your chest is flat though- (otherwise my wedding dress wouldn't fit properly).
Second, the look of the corset. This product is beautiful and worth the price. The lacing is more sheer than it looks on the image but it is very sturdy. While I have tugged to get the clips hooked, none of the lacing has ripped or stretched, it is very strong. It's also a sexy corset, which will make the wedding night more wonderful.
Included products: there is an added g-string but the size will follow the size of the corset you purchased. So, my surprisingly XL waist got me an XL g-string which is too big for me. But nice of them to include something that matches and does look pretty just not my size.
