I am a 35 in the waist and a 43 in the bust. the model's proportions are even more exaggerated. the item i recieved was nowhere near this look. the fabric that holds the bust is not ribbed at all, and the corset fit around my waist nicely. when you try to put on the bosom part of the corset, it litterally shelves your breasts like they are sitting on a bookshelf. If that seems like a good idea, go over to the nearest table and rest your chest on it. Not so nice, eh? you should only buy this if you are a b cup or smaller, because otherrwise it fits terribly.
