What a great corset for such a small price! I wore it for an event and got dozens of compliments and a few requests to share where I got it. Yes, it's tight (it's a corset, after all) and a little tricky to get the front buttons to snap into place. But, as long as you loosen the laces enough it's fairly simple. I was hoping halfway through the evening to loosen the corset and cheat a bit, but the back flap isn't long enough to really do this if you're wearing the right size. I'm very very pleased with this purchase.
