I love the look & feel of this corset, but it's definitely not leather or steel boned, which anyone ought to know by the price. This is a FASHION corset. If you're looking for a genuine waist-trainer or something to cinch in your waist for the night, you should be expecting to shell out AT MINIMUM $50. You get what you pay for with corsets. This is not dual layered leather with double stitching and genuine steel bones (it has cheap metal boning - possibly even plastic). Based off many of the reviews, people don't know the difference and it's causing them to have a negative experience.

For those complaining about size? Do your research. Corsets are NOT sized anywhere REMOTELY like regular clothing. Measure twice, buy once. It's not hard.

That said, it looks cute for it's intended use, which is fashion. My best friend & I each have the exact same one. They're fun, comfortable, and will last IF you treat them like what they are -
 a fashion corset. They're made affordably to look cute (when properly sized), not be functional.
