I was so excited to get this corset, yet my experience has been a huge disappointment. I ordered a 4XL based on other reviews and my own measurements (I'm a size 10, 36G). The corset looked beautiful, but I couldn't keep it on. The hooks wouldn't stay together, even when I tried to close them while the corset was laying flat. If I got one closed, the next one popped, I wasn't able to close more than two at a time.  I may have gotten a lemon...most of the other reviews were quite positive, but I'm not going to buy another from Alivila Fashion...I don't see the positives.
