I ordered a couple sizes up...just from reading other reviews I thought I should....I wish I would have ordered a size or too smaller than I actually did.  It still works and it is very pretty.  I was a little disappointed in the "sturdieness" of the corset.  The stays are not as strong as I had hoped.  More like a strong cardboard vs. metal wire stays....but for the price I really can't complain.  Nice BUDGET corset.
