Ok... where do I start?? This corset just snatched up my entire life. Got me looking in the mirror like âwhat waist?âJust received it this morning and couldnât wait to get back home to put it on. This exceeds my expectations ten-fold. The material is thick, almost like a canvas. The construction is so durable that itâs not creasing or folding. The boning is strong, the lumbar support is keeping my posture in check. Doesnât cut into my thighs when I sit. l I played with the strings and got the modesty panel laying right and oh my lord. I already took 100 snaps (to get one vid that I liked, of course. You know how we do,) and posted on all my social media.I have a shorter torso, so this is sitting perfectly. I have a large waist to hip ratio (30â waist, 46â around my booty) so when reading the description and reviews, I figured this would be perfect since it has a deep curve in the waist. Obsessed? Slightly. ;-)

Definitely the best quality Camellias corset so far! It has a very curvy cut...perfect fit for my vintage figure...those with less than a 10in difference between waist and hip might find it gaps unless they are very "compressable" in the waist. This corset is thick and sturdy. Much thicker than the other twill corset I have from this company. I was also glad to feel a waist tape in between the layers. Hopefully it will last better than the mesh versions (which I love for their breathability, but not so much for quality or fit). It does create gorgeous curves, and I appreciate the longer front and back on this one.I'm not certain how I feel about the rigid modesty panel. It is "floating", rigid (boned), and definitely offers an extra bit of back support. Probably best for people who wear their corsets as outerwear because it won't bunch up. I do not, and usually cut out modesty panels because it's hot here in TX and it's nice to have some extra "venting" at the back. That being said...the nice thing about the "floating" modestly panel is you can always just unlace the corset entirely and remove it.It comes pre-laced with poly cording. I really prefer the "shoelace" style laces because they're smoother, easier to conceal, and glide better. But I can always change them out.As with all the Camellia's corsets, the price is excellent and this one is definitely worth the few extra dollars. I hope they make more in this style. If they made one in mesh I would be in heaven!So far, I'm giving it 4 stars out of 5. I'll update if my opinion changes for the better or worse.

Wow! Great corset. Perfect for a 5'4" frame. The boning was solid and the material top notch. The sizing was dead on. Awesome corset for the price. 33" waist 44" bust 45" waist.

Absolutely love my new corset. It is strong and sturdy and come with laces that are long enough and strong enough so you can start training soon as you receive it. This is my 3rd order, whenever I decide to waist train, I always use Camellias!

I'm a corset junkie (I own probably a dozen of them) and this one is REALLY well made! It's the perfect length for my short torso, covering me from my hip bone to just under my breasts. I love that it doesn't stick out at the bottom like some others do, and it's the same quality as corsets I've paid twice (and sometimes three times) the price for. It's also really light and airy once on, and I was perfectly comfortable wearing it under dresses in the summer.

I'm seriously in love with this underbust corset trainer. I'be wanted a waist trainer forever now but all the latex ones look like a scam and I didn't want some leather corset that was a costume either. This is light and airy and super comfortable, I'm totally okay wearing it under my clothes even! Going to start training with this for an hour every day

Camellias Short Torso Curvy Waist Heavy Duty Double Steel Boned Waist TrainerCamellias Curvy Waist 28 Steel Boned Heavy Duty Waist Training Corset Shaper, SZ70930-Black-XSThis corset is made well for the price. I have many corsets from different sellers that were twice the price and of the same quality.Pros:-Well made-inexpensive-very curvy silhouette-floating modesty panelCons:-not true to sizeI ordered the size xs 22'' I have a natural waist size of 25". After measuring the corset laying flat, the waist tape measurement was 12.3ish. I put the corset on and was immediately able to close this. The measure it on me while wearing and the outside measurement was not 22" is was 24.5"! Way OFF off the 22" inch promised! Five stars for the quality two stars for sizing. I also had to relace the corset because it was laced upside down, so the hip spring for the corset was very small, and the rib spring was very large once I relaced it though it fit well at the rib cage and hips other than the waist size not being correct. I returned this corset sadly and will not be repurchasing unless they have a size 20" available.In conclusion, the Camellias Short Torso Curvy Waist Heavy Duty Double Steel Boned Waist Traineris well made and of good quality but does not run true to size.

Lovely. Gives good waist reduction, copes well with large hips, and easy to put on without help. Also comfortable to wear and doesn't dig in.I'm a size 16/18 with a 40" waist. Ordered a 3XL, which brings me down to 35" with a small gap at the back.

Very good product, ties at the back with laces, so you will need a second person to properly put it on.it does create really good line/ shape.The material itself is pleasant, i am yet to wash it, but it does look quite sturdy.

Please excuse my pyjamas in the photos but I hope it gives you a feel for what it may look like on you!My measurements uncorseted are underbust: 33in, waist 32in, high hip 42 in, low hip 46in.I like this corset however it doesnât come without issues.At first I didnât think the bones were metal but I put a magnet to them and they are. However theyâre EXTREMELY flexible to the point where they donât really hold a proper shape and as you can see in the photos they have a tendency to bump outwards. I probably only have about 8 hours in this corset at best and they didnât do this to begin with.Ladies if you are pear shaped like myself, this will dig into your hips.As I said before 8ish hours of wear and I am noticing some bits starting to fray, poke through and weakening bits of fabric.It does however give really great shaping. The first time I put this on it took off 4 inches from my waist immediately and was comfortable at that. (Bear in mind I am quite squishy round my middle and have a little experience wearing corsets).All in all. Itâs comfy to start with and gives a great silhouette however I donât think this is going to last much longer. It will be great for one off occasions but definitely isnât good for wearing more consistently like for waist training.

Fits good and is comfortable. I use it for waist training, got to reduce from 78 to 72 cms so now I'll be purchasing the next size to keep decreasing.It doesn't bend, retains its shape after worn several hours, sturdy materials, really good quality to accomplish what I was going for. Only downside is that needs to be worn with an undershirt because it's a bit itchy if you want to sleep with it, but I managed to wear it on the naked skin at times.I highly recommend.

Bought for my Halloween costume so haven't actually worn yet but have had a trial run and this is perfect! I am only small and a size 8 to 10, I got the large because the medium were sold out, however, this fits really well as long as I have it laced up as tight as it will go! It is a perfect length for me which I am pleased about as I am quite short in the body. Although I have bought this as a Halloween costume accessory I believe I will wear it at other times too - it gives me a lovely shape!

Lovely tight corset, just what I needed! Iâve only tried it on as Iâve bought this for a cosplay, but itâs breathable and comfortable to sit in!

I love this, it's pretty and comfortable (as far as corsets go). But, most importantly, the reason I got it is to support my lower back which I get a lot of pain in, particularly triggered by my poor posture which this corset corrects. Because it's underbust and mostly plain, it can be worn under most types of clothing.Also adding because a lot of people like to lie about it, this corset is genuinely steel boned.

Fits wonderfully and clinched my waist in straight away with only one layer on. Easy to get on and off by yourself.As I'm using this for cosplay rather than everyday use, I can't comment on how well it stands up to several hours of wear yet. But due to the breathable fabric, I can't imagine it getting too hot (at least during the winter, when I bought it).

Great quality product. Order your actual size, not a size smaller. The laces and attachment will do the work. Very well constructed, wear it as an undergarment. Great for my back as well, no pitching, great. No need to pay more.

This corset is better quality than expected considering the price. I ordered a size small eventhough my natural waist is 27.5 inches as my tummy is very squishable and it fits well and is easily fully closed at the back. However I am not convinced the boning is 100% steel as described as it is very flexible. Despite this it does its job and creates and slender curvy look while the corset is worn. The mesh is very breathable although the fabric can get very itchy.

Das Produkt bietet zwei verschiedene GröÃenangaben. Ich empfehle die Angaben des Fotos zu nutzen.Das Produktfoto gibt in der Spalte "actual size" (Tatsächliche GröÃe) für GröÃe M 26 Zoll (ca. 65 cm) an und empfielt dieses Korsett für die eigene gemessene Taille (fit natural waist) von 28 bis 29 Zoll ( ca. 70 - 73 cm). Bei vollkommen geschlossener Schnürung flach ausgelegt ist die Taillenweite von Ãse zu Haken wirklich 26 Zoll oder 65 cm, enger kann das Korsett nicht gestellt werden. Wer seine Taille mehr als 5 bis 8 cm enger ziehen möchte sollte das beachten.Die GröÃenangabe im "Drop-Down-Menü" ist 26 bis 28 Zoll (65 -70 cm). Wer danach bestellt sollte bedenken, dass hier 26 Zoll (65 cm) die minimale Einstellung ist.Das Modesty-Paneel ist zwar 15 cm breit, da es aber weiter innen angebracht ist, deckt es tatsächlich nur 11 cm zwischen den beiden Seiten ab.Ich habe sehr schmale Hüften und eine schurgerade Taille von 78 cm und trage HosengröÃe 38-40. Da ich beabsichtige noch 2-3kg abzunehmen habe ich bewuÃt eine zu kleine GröÃe gekauft, da man Korsagen wirklich weit stellen, aber nur endlich eng ziehen kann. Fest aber nicht eng geschnürt sieht man bei mir zwischen Modesty-Paneel und anderer Kosagenseite noch 2-3 cm Haut, aber der gesamte Sitz der Korsage wirkt nicht zu klein (Stäbe an der "falschen" Stelle). sondern sehr schön.Hätte ich das Korsett nach den Angaben für meine 31 Zoll Taille im Foto in GröÃe L gekauft, säÃe es perfekt mit geschlossenem Paneel, aber ich könnte es maximal 8cm enger stellen, daher bin ich mit meiner Wahl für GröÃe M vollauf zufrieden.
