Item exactly as described. I saw the size that the company recommended and I read reviews that said the sizes the company recommended were way too big, so I ordered the size I normally would and it was WAY too small. So I returned it because they were out of the size I actually needed. However, it was a very nice corset and had beautiful details! I ordered a similar one in a different color because I absolutely did like the steampunk qualities of this one with the awesome zipper and cool fabric designs! Would definitely recommend. Just order what the company says based off of your measurements - then it will fit! ;)
