I didn't give this review five stars, because it is a little difficult to put on. This may be due to my lack of experience in wearing a corset, but with the design of this one it might take figuring out a trick. There are 5 metal hooks in front and boning that runs vertically them, and it's a little difficult to get them all hooked at the same time. Also, I followed the sizing chart provided by the seller, and it's not the most accurate. I am a size 12 and fall within the parameters given, but should have gone up a size. Maybe it would be a little easier to put on if I had. I am keeping the item as I do like it, but if you're considering ordering this I would go up a size than what is indicated.
