I love this corset.  The fabric feels great against my skin, and it's made well enough that you aren't ripping out eyelets when you really tighten it up.  Forget about the g-string - it's just a triangle of material attached to some string (pretty much what I've found with all the g-strings included with corsets).  I'm confused by other comments I've seen about how the sizing is wrong: I ordered an XL based on the comments, and I think a large would have been just fine.  It really depends on how much bare skin you want between the sides.  If you don't mind a lot, you can go smaller; if you want little or no gap, then order one larger.  This one comes with two strings, to make it even easier to really cinch up the waist - one starts at the top and tapers to the middle, the other starts at the bottom.  I'll definitely buy more Muka products in the future.
