Day one: I've been wearing it for a little over an hour and I'm already frustrated. I'm 233 lb, 5' 5" tall. I wear size 16 pants, 40 DD bra. I ordered this corset in a 3X, and it fits just fine on the last set of hooks. It's tight but not too tight. The problem is that it's pushing my back fat up and it's uncomfortably resting on the corset if that makes sense. If I pull it up to cover the back fat, it doesn't cover my lower abdomen entirely. I had high hopes for this after reading reviews and I'm kind of bummed.

Day 3: Finally getting used to it and i suddenly feel something stabbing me. One of the metal sticks that gives it shape has actually poked out of the fabric. Cool.
