This corset is breath taking, I love it! Remarkably, it is true to size, and I have lost weight so I will be exchanging it for a slightly smaller size. The leather is so soft and the boning is well covered. Straps are strong and really long- excellent! I so wish I was still a little bigger because I want to wear it now!!! You know the best part? I don't have much in the boob area and this corset doesn't have big gapping cups :)
