I've had this corset on my wishlist for the longest time. The amount of lace and its placement appealed to me but I could never justify the price. Having bought it I can definitely justify it now. The quality and crafstmanship is amazing and the way it shapes you effortlessly is worth it alone. The advice for sizing is accurate, however it is a shame that the size range ends in 5 which would fit a European M. Could not praise it enought otherwise.
