Ok ladies, here is the skinny on sizing yourself for a corset. A corset is made to (when laced) take up to 2-4" off of your natural waist size. Think "Gone with the wind", and Scarlet has to be at 13" to fit her dress, so it was pulled tighter. So i have a 45" waist (i know, and I digress), that doesn't mean the corset that will fit my 45" waist should be bought at a size for 45", rather buy the corset that will give me the desired waist measurement after it's tightened or as I like to say "trussed". When you are a beginner meaning first time corset wearer order the size that will give you 2-4" smaller than your natural waist size (any smaller you might get light headed and pass out.) The laces are long but as I found not long enough to give me my desired max of 4". Easily fixed by buying the longest pair of shoe strings to add the length I needed to adequately trus my corset. Remember with each wear how much you need to tighten it will change as the corset breaks in and adjusts to your body. There will come a day that you won't need the extra length of laces (so remove them, and relace).
I make corsets, and have studied plenty on sizing, tightening, breaking in, and wearing. Trust me I bought the right size, if I went a size up I wouldn't get the desired look and fit I expect. This is a excellent corset, and I would recommend it highly to anyone. Every body is different, some of us need longer laces, but that In no way makes this a bad product, and the Only way to get a perfect fit is have a custom fitting by someone who knows the amount of laceing that will be needed to give you your desired effect. Hope this helps!
Only thing that made it somewhat small, was the fact that I needed extra length on the laces. It was easily remedied by adding shoe laces to the bunny ear portion, added photo and re-lacing the corset. Great price point and excellent quality, for me (a seasoned corset wearer) very comfortable as well. I don't use it for waist training, only fashion; however the quality and durability of this brand fit the bill if that's what you're looking to do. Quick delivery too. I'm a full figured fluffy gal 5'4" size 20/22, purchased a 3x as I wanted the options of 2" - 4" reduction based on how I truss the garment, fully tightened I'm a solid size 18 in the waist.
This waist corset has garter attachment loops, they can be hard to find so I have added photos of the loops (fingers pointing them out 4 per side since the size changes as you truss/cinch the corset).
