Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

SIZING: My waist is 36" and I ordered a size 2XL, according to the size chart. It was too big. I returned it and ordered an XL, instead. I can lace the XL fully closed and feel like I could go tighter. It takes my waist from 36" to 33". It would appear the size chart runs large FOR CORSETS. That is, you want a corset to be snug. That's it's purpose. I can squeeze into some XL clothes, but they are tight! TIGHT! I usually wear 2XL. So, for general clothing purposes, the size chart is accurate. For a waist-training/tightlacing corset, the size chart runs large. MATERIAL: The mesh feels scratchy on my bare skin. I didn't expect it to be as comfortable as my satin corset, but it's not enjoyable to wear this mesh corset under my clothes. This is an "above the clothes" corset, which limits what it can be worn with. I might just have sensitive skin. I see reviews with photos of other people wearing it under their clothes. So, it might just be me. On the bright side, the mesh does feel more breathable than the satin. It's definitely less warm. If you live in a warm climate, that might be something to consider. OTHER: The length of the corset is supposed to be 13.5" but it is only 12.5". This isn't necessarily a problem; I'm just annoyed that the product description is inaccurate.
