Alivila.Y FashionWomens Sexy Vintage 1920s Renaissance Lace Trim Corset Bustier

Honestly I'm shocked at how high quality this corset top is. I got the 4x because my bust is 43'' (I have super broad shoulders and a big chest cavity, I'm built like a little football player lol) and it fits perfectly, honestly a bit big even. I probably should've gotten a size down, and I might still because it's tightened all the way and there's no squeezing at all, but it's so comfortable being slightly big, plus I'm wearing layers under.Overall SUPER impressed with quality for the price, the inner lining is so soft, and the construction is sturdy 👌

This corset is super comfortable, easy to lace up, has a zipper on the side. The ribbons are sturdy and extra long, perfect for getting the corset loose before cinching up and tying. It’s beautiful and works well with renaissance costumes.

I bought this as my first corset a while ago and have since worn/mad many others and learned a lot in the process that I want to share!Because this corset is relatively cheap, the flaws it had were expected for me. In general, I've been happy with the comfort—sometimes steel is a bit more rigid than my body wants to put up with, and this is a great solution for that.That said, the plastic plastic (and honestly all the other materials) used is not super high quality synthetic whalebone. It's a budget variety (expected—otherwise how are the sellers supposed to make a profit at such a low price point? ) that warps a lot more easily and tends to give a little bit of a bubbling effect around the hips and tummy. If you have some skills as a sewist, this can be fixed by adding interior padding to flatten/smooth those areas.My other criticism of this corset is to do with the fit and patterning. Comparing my measurements to the size chart got me a corset that is too big (I ordered a small). I've included my measurements below for reference, but I'm going to elaborate on how and where it doesn't fit me because it might be helpful.I can lace it fully closed and still have extra space (generally speaking, a well fitting corset will have a gap in the back). More importantly, it is too big in the waist. Historically, a lot of people padded the bust and hips of their corsets to enhance the illusion of an hourglass figure, but the corset always needed to fit in the waist. Having a naturally hourglass body-type, it's clear to me that while this corset is advertised (in the images) as an hourglass shaped corset, it is patterned for a square or inverted triangle body type. That is to say, for us hourglass girls, if this corset fits in the hips, it'll be too big in the waist, and if it fits in the hips, it'll be too small in the waist.There is also something slightly off about the patterning of this corset (besides the lack of a waist tape), and I'm still trying to work out exactly what (will update if I figure it out). Essentially, the problem I'm noticing is that when I'm wearing the corset, the busk wants to slant to one side rather than sitting straight up and down. It might be related to the way the fabric was cut (which grain it's running on), but I'm still figuring.Finally, a note for the itty-bitty-titty committee: it might be too roomy to wear without additional support—it is for me. I usually wear modern padded bras with it, but you could also use a historical bust improver if you're doing historical dress of some kind.My measurements for reference:Full Bust w/bra: 36-37"Full Bust w/out bra: 35 3/4"Rib cage: 30"Waist: 26 1/2"Front-waist: 17 1/4"Back-waist: 18"Rise: 10"Low Hip: 38 1/2"

The sizing for this corset (green floral and butterfly design) wasn’t as off as some of the others, but it was for sure a little small. I knew going in it would be off so I ordered an XL when I normally would have gone with an L. Glad I did, because it was the perfect size (even though corsets are adjustable, you can only go so far before you have a gape in the corset across your back held together by the ribbons lol).I washed it on cold and hung it to dry with no issues. Would buy again!

I ordered this twice, because the first one was too small and the wrong color (the one I received looks exactly like the beige one they sell, even though I ordered the pink one). So the larger size is the perfect fit (with room to tighten it an inch or two as I continue to lose weight). The boning feels firm and the quality feels nice for this price point (about $20). But it's STILL the wrong color. Not even the slightest hint of pink to it at all. Even the trim is beige without the slightest hint of pink or blush or any other variation of the color I actually ordered. The lace is also slightly different from the picture, but close, at least. But my biggest issue is that the laces are too short. To cinch a corset properly by yourself, you want the lacing to meet in the middle (at the waistline). I bought another corset of a slightly different style for a couple dollars less, and it is done the right way, so I'm able to tie it very easily without help. This corset is more expensive but I can't tie it on my own because it's designed to tie at the top between your shoulder blades. So even though it has a lot fewer grommets than the other one, I can't do it on my own. I might try to reverse it so it goes at the bottom and see if that works any better. And if not, I might try buying longer lacing to see if I can tie it correctly. Because, even in the wrong color, it's really pretty. And obviously ordering the pink one isn't going to get me a pink one. I'm half tempted to order the beige one and see what color that ends up. The other corset I bought is tank-top-style, so it has straps instead of lace trim. So I like them both and still might keep this one, too. Debating it.

This coreset is so cute! I know not all of these tops are created equally, and I didn't see any pics/reviews of this specific color so I hesitated for awhile before buying. Not to mention all of the mixed reviews of the sizing. Finally pulled the trigger last week because I'm starting to piece together my Ren fair outfit. I'm 5'3, 130lbs and the medium fits like a glove! If it were any smaller I think it would be too uncomfortable to wear. It's soft on the inside, and the straps were in the perfect position already so I didn't have to adjust anything. 10/10!

I am 6'2" and 317 lbs. I saw that I should size up based on the reviews so I did. I usually wear a 2x and got a 4x instead, based on their sizing chart. I reccieved it and it covered half my body. I sent it back and reordered the largest size just to see if it would fit and it didn't. There was a 2 inch change. If you are not small, this is not actually a plus sized product. The sizing is inaccurate and so is the color. In the pictures it is a blush pink with white lace, in real life it is a puce color with yellowish lace.

I bought this specifically for a Ren Faire, and it’s such good quality for the price. I decided to ignore all the bad reviews and just try it for myself and it’s amazing! Highly recommend to anyone looking

Mi chica se ve hermosa en él! Todos compren una!

Solo que en la foto parece que trae la forma para el busto, pero en la realidad es más bien plano.Buen acabado y cálidas de tela.

After reading reviews I went ahead and ordered the XL. For reference, my bust is 37.5, waist 32 and hips 39. I am 5'9" and 160lbs. The XL came and it is beautiful! It may not be an expensive waist trainer, but the details and colors make it look expensive. Sadly, it is too big. Even when cinched all the way, it is loose on me. I ordered it for a play, and there is not time to order another one so I will keep this, but for future buyers, figure out the sizing! It is a beautiful corset!

Sorry, I would advise going a least one size down, maybe even two to what you would normally wear if your thinner, I should have got a medium or maybe small... If your + sized then this is probably a good option that will make you feel sexy and more confident. Because any slightly optimistic first attempt will likely work out for you.
