Outside of the fact my measurements indicated a XL...I needed an XXL so the laces in the back were not spread out to the maximum.  The size chart apparently basis the measurements on that.  This corset is totally amazing and I love it.  I was so afraid I could not send it back and get the larger size by the time of the festival, but it appears I can.  Totally amazing.  The front closures are classic and it sets off your figure great.

Well made, can't say enough good things about it.  Just remember if your measurements fit a certain size...go a step higher...easier to cinch in, than to stretch out, especially if you go beyond the inside panel.  Still not sure how the chain works though!  You won't be disappointed.
