This is a beautiful Corset. However, I ordered only 1-2 inches smaller than my chest/bust size figuring the lace string would provide slack for the additional inch. 38 is the largest size offered by the way. I pulled the laces all the way to the ends and adjusted but still couldn't zip the corset up the front. It might better fit a woman with a 34 bust? Summary -- a very simple and attractive corset that your man should appreciate -- so if you want one, order a size or two larger than you want.
