Makes a very skinny waist. I mustve snagged it on something so thats to be weary of... but I don't blame the fabric on this... it would happen to anything with holes... its breathable unlike most corset so that also a bonus. I would definitely suggest you give this corset a try because I think its well worth it ascetically and structurally. Its a bitch to put on though... like the way it hooks takes me some time to figure out, so that knocked off a star because it takes me a while to put on
