I am always extremely skeptical about pre-made corsetry, especially anything that claims to be 'short torso' or 'petite'. This one, however, is legit. It's the first premade corset that I've bought that both puts a graceful curve on the hips and doesn't rise up so high that it gets in the way of a bra or anything else. The only other corset I've had that's fit this well is a custom-made long-line that I paid $400+ for. Super happy with my purchase and will be back if I need another.
