TL;DR : Looks exactly like picture, runs small - Order a size up.

I bought this expecting something much worse than what I got. I really liked the lightweight but sturdy fabric. There felt as though there was a steel bone at the front where the clips are, and the back. Product looked exactly like expected, but the size chart felt a little small. I had to return because it didn't fit me, but would only recommend that if you doubt the size at all - order up a size. I would give a 4.5 if the size hadn't been smaller than described.
But it's just great! The quality is way better than should be ...

I really didn't know what to expect when I got this in the mail. But it's just great! The quality is way better than should be for the price, and it's beautiful! It fits great too. I followed the sizing chart and it's perfect. I've read other reviews that women didn't think it fit well, but I found that if you want that "pretty alluring display" of your breasts...... which is a big part for wearing a corset.......... the sizes are right on target. I'll be ordering more from this vendor. !!
Pretty, but not for tight lacing.

Firstly, for the price I wasn't expecting high quality. It is pretty to look at. There are issues with the product however. I would not call this a corset for tight lacing, unless one was already thin..or at least without extra weight like me. The bones are plastic and very bendy. There is only one layer of fabric. The busk (the front bones with the clasps) doesn't line up properly, on mine at least, and makes fastening them tricky. Thre lacing isn't long enough for tight lacing, I relaced mine with longer laces and it works now. I am very busty DDD with a 32 inch ribcage so I wasn't expecting any support and it doesn't. Overbust off the rack corsets only act like a shelf for busty gals as this one does. Overall, great for a costume but I wouldn't use this for actual tight lacing.
Beautiful but was too small

Beautiful corset but it was way too small. Love the lace and the gold brocade detailing but unfortunately it would not close around my waist. Just too thick in that area but I'm sure if I ordered a size bigger, it would have been too big around the bust. Sadly, it will be returned :-(

Gorgeous purple one. Great quality. I had to let the ties out a little and then it felt great. I'm not sure about the front clips. I almost got trapped trying to get out, but I think I'll get used to them. When it was laced tight, I was afraid it would be too tight.
Don't plan on doing anything in this but standing up or walking.

I got stuck in this thing. Its uncomfortable as all get out, however its durable so far and cute.
Go one size up from your normal!

Got this for Halloween. I am 5'3" and 118lbs with a really small upper body frame. I was surprised that small was truly too small for me. Should have gone with medium but bust may not have fit then. Not sure, but will have to let the ties out so that I'll be able to breathe. Otherwise, beautiful corset. Nice fabric and lace. Embroidery looks expensive. Going to look great with the rest of my costume!
