Thais corset was super cute, the only issue I has was I could have easily gone  size smaller with any issue at all. If there's any question in size, go with a size smaller. It will fit tighter then getting the "right size" as well as allow for adjustment. Also, the packaging was poor and it smelled musty but these were easily adjusted with two days of hanging in the basement. The quality of the corset it very good, and the corset itself has metal boning and a ribbon back lace up. Again, get  size smaller than you think you need.
