This corset has been lent to me for evaluation purposes. It was not made directly for me, but fits very well. This indicates that the owner seems to have a similar figure to me. The fabric is very nice and the corset has a strong waistband which defines the waist well and makes the corset sturdy, because the pressure and pull is strongest at the waist.

The waist is quite cut in with a waist band, but the top and bottom of the corset is rather wide, which increases comfort. The photo is unfortunately a bit blurry.

From the side you can see well how flat the belly remains. In my view, this is a very important feature of a good corset.

Here you can see well the strong compression of the waist by the waistband. If you know the width of piano keys, you can calculate my waist width :-).

Here, too, you can clearly see the effect of the waistband. In addition, the waist is narrowed by lifting the arms. By the way, I’m not fainting here, but just resting and the perspective is interesting.
