Unfortunately I have to return this corset. The style looks absolutely beautiful and I have no complaints about the function or design; however the sizing is extremely unreliable. I ordered one size larger than my natural waist (26"), having read the reviews beforehand, but upon arrival, I could not even fasten the corset on the last set of hooks - there was about a 3 inch gap. Product also has a distinct and unpleasant chemical smell. It's a shame, because if the sizing had been correct I probably would have been more inclined to work on that.
