I LOVE this corset - it fits a little small - Im 52; 120 and normally wear a 2 - I purchased this in a medium. The metal clasps so sturdy;  I was afraid that I could not wear this under normal clothes because it would be like the Poppin fresh dough container when you open it - not the case!!  The corset ribbon is a little long so I cut it. You can lace it in back and clasp in front by yourself so no need for - helper to dress you.  Ive worn this under business clothes and solo. Very versatile and comfortable.  Im small chested and it rocks my cleavage.
