Ivy Shi Women's Overbust Corset Top with Ruched Sleeves Black Medium

I just got them in the mail. its is very cute, and looks great with skirts. but since this is not steal boned, it is plastic or very cheap metal boned It was the biggest pain in the ass to put on by myself, I have worn a few different corsets. I have a real steal boned corset and all corsets are a pain to put on, but this one was much harder cause the corset was bending all over the place when trying to put it on, the latches are cheap and hard to get them in the holes cause not all the latches stick out far enough to easily put the notches into to latches,(I'm not a big girl ,I'm 5f and mybe 115lbs, with a small mom pooch. so it shouldn't of been the big of a struggle! when I Finally got it on, its looks great but I have no boob support, I already have small boobs, kinda made my boobs flat, so I had to pull them up a bit, may have to use a strapless bra., I also may take out the ribbon and put the tie at the bottom instead to make it easier to tighten. I love the style, and the adjustable sleeves, I just wish it was better quality.

I have never had to give anything less than a five star review for anything I have bought on Amazon, but here goes. I love the material of this corset, I love the style of the corset, and I love the construction. HOWEVER, and as much as it pains me to say this, it is small!!!! VERY SMALL!! I normally have no problems with ordering small for any clothing anywhere and a lot of times I have seen reviews posted about things being to small from ladies claiming to have my measurements for the same clothes I buy and I'd often roll my eyes. This corset is not for a lady with hips. I thought I'd have a problem with my breasts in this, but nope. For someone with a 32 DD bust, the corset fit just fine on my breasts. (Made the ladies look quite lovely) I had to let out the ribbon in the back quite a bit at the bottom for my hips, Another problem: Getting the damn thing on. I've had corsets with zippers and laces, but never with latches, and boy were these latches a pain in my rear end.I think if they were bigger latches and weren't placed on the boning piece, that this would have been perfect.Other than that, I like the product, but I guess I just learned I have really big bony hips...

I read other reviews saying this was hard to put on and probably would take two people.. I ignored it and laughed.. I received this item and it's very pretty.. but SERIOUSLY hard to put on and i'm use to wearing corsets.. on the front trying to get the hooks buttoned as soon as you get one done another one comes undone.. it usually takes me 10 minutes just to get it on!!! ..

First of all, my measurements are 32-25-35, so I typically wear American size S or XS shirts. After reading plenty of reviews, I decided on a size M corset. Now, when it arrived in the mail, it was exceptionally small. Looking at it, it probably would barely fit on a small Chinese woman. But here's the thing, it's a *corset*, and therefore, can be adjusted to fit your size. A lot of the reviews say "It runs way too small, so make sure to buy a couple sizes larger." or "I love this corset, but it was way too small, had to give the size L to my size XS daughter." (for example). But that shouldn't be the case. Simply adjust it! I found this type of corset to be very simple to adjust with no assistance.To adjust the corset:1. Untie the ribbon in the back.2. Pull up the laces like you would if you were putting on a sneaker.3. Once loosened enough, put it on your body, clamps in front.4. Once it is loose enough so that the clamps all closed comfortably, grab the two ties in the middle of the backing, and pull them tightly5. You can pull them as tightly as you wish (you might need someone to help you, but I was able to do it myself).As long as you buy it in your general size range, I promise that this will fit. If you purchase this, try it on, and give up because it is way too small for you, then I highly recommend you look into how corsets work, because you are clearly doing something wrong here. It is very sturdy, and exquisitely made especially for the price. Hooks on clothing tend to be cheaply adhered, but I tightened the crap out of this corset, and the hooks hold exceptionally well.As far as shipping goes, I received mine weeks earlier than expected (so it only took 2 weeks in total to arrive, which was much quicker than expected). It is a beautiful corset, and if done properly, is very flattering. I am in love with this, and so is my boyfriend!

If the ran true to size I would give it 5 stars because it is beautifully made but its super small and for sure not true to size.. I would send it back but it would cost more than I actually paid for it.

I wish we knew what country these products were coming from, American sizes are not even close to Asian sizes- this product was made for a china doll and not for a woman with any kind of curves. 4 sizes bigger would probably not fit me right.

The shipping was incredibly fast on this, first off. I had it within two weeks of ordering it. It IS steel boned; you can test this by running a magnet over the boning. Most corsets I have looked at advertise that they are steel boned but they really aren't. This corset runs a tad small, but not noticeably and since I plan on using it for waist training, it doesn't matter. The sleeves are really lovely; they make me feel like a princess (my boyfriend thought it was more Pirates of the Caribbean style, but whatever) and really cinches me in. To get the right fit, I loosened up the back, clipped myself into it and had my mom lace me into it. Hopefully as I familiarize myself with it I will be able to put it on alone. This is the first corset I have purchased since my Hell Bunny corset last summer, and I love it.

This runs a bit small but once its fitted right this thing is sexy. Really accentuates my curves and turns my bf on everytime he sees me in it.
