Worth it!
I absolutely love these corsets, I’ve bought numerous colors from this brand and others on Amazon that are exactly the same but sold under other sellers. Are these the highest quality corsets out there? No, they definitely don’t compare to the ones you’d find at a Ren Faire that cost $200+ but I wasn’t expecting that. Is this going to achieve a ton of cinching? Probably not, the rods aren’t some crazy thick material to do that. However these are way more comfortable to wear for long periods; I do have a corset that has heavy fiber glass rods that I got from the Ren Faire and I can’t handle wearing it for more than an hour or so (to be fair I am thin, about 100lbs with a 24” waist and so those rods hurt my ribs so so so bad) but these I can wear for 7+ hours and barely feel any discomfort on my ribs. This was my first year dressing up for Ren Faire so I didn’t want to invest in some crazy pricey corset (the one I do have was a gift) until I knew if I liked them. I quickly discovered that corsets, for me, are used primarily to hold up skirts and disguise waist bands and that I do not like anything with a super firm cinching of the waist because I like to walk and move around and dance all day; when my husband and I go to Ren Faire we can easily walk 13+ miles because we just like to move around and see everything and everyone and these allow me to still breathe and have mobility in the waist. I wore one color pretty much all season in a hot dusty environment with a belt worn over it and it still looked good after 9 weeks of wearing all weekend. I’d probably purchase a new one for next year because I have no idea how I’d wash it up to remove dust and for the price I can discard it and not feel like it was a waste. So I’d highly recommend these, especially for anyone who doesn’t want/need some crazy sucking in (these did smooth my figure out and disguise any bloating with hormonal shifts so I appreciated that) but wants to elevate a costume or outfit! The XS size worked best for me, I had it almost as tight as it could go but I could make a size S work by cinching it to the point of almost overlapping but it didn’t quite have the same hold near the bottom of my waist.

Surprisingly comfortable, shockingly historically accurate
I am a historical clothing enthusiast. This is one of the closest-to-authentic fast fashion corsets I've ever seen. It's one layer of sturdy fabric with single layer channels. It has lightweight, flexible boning. It flares correctly at the hips to allow for natural movement. My teenage daughter is currently wearing it while sitting in the shape of a question mark, as teenagers to, and she says it's comfortable. It's polyester, so I don't recommend wearing it against your skin, but put a chemise, tunic, or t-shirt between it and your skin, and you'll be golden.

Eh
Good quality but needs a longer lace in the back

Great quality for price
This is a great corset for the price. Downside is plastic boneing and ribbon for a tie. Plus it has a back panel. I was unsure about size because I am wide around the middle with a short torso. This makes corset purchasing hard. But read a bunch of reviews and used the size guide and ended up getting a 2xl (was debating on that or 3x) I am 5' 1", 150lbs. The 2xl is perfect. I have plenty of room to make it bigger (because of the panel) and can still go tighter if I lose weight as it's not pulled all the way tight.

Perfect for a very occasional use
As a lot of Renaissance Faire workers and playtrons know, these are a wonderful deal for the price. However, they cannot stand up to a season of use. Now, let me say that this purple is a gorgeous shade - not quite the royal purple. It will accent that color if royalty is your thing, but it also goes well with plum shades for the merchants or pirates among us! Anyway, two cautions. First, it may be a bit longer or shorter than indicated. I've gone through 5 and they vary by as much as 2 inches in length, and that will definitely have an impact on fit, and therefore on how long it lasts. Second, beware of cinching it too tightly. If you can lace it so that there's an inch or less between the rows of grommets, you need a smaller size. Otherwise, if you're going for a smaller waist, lacing too tightly will kill the stays in no time. My first one broke a stay on the first day I wore it and I ended up with the predictable bruise on my rib. Now, all that aside, if you want a very nice-looking accessory item for a night out or a special event or maybe to add to your Faire garb, I'd highly recommend this. Again, not for regular wear, but if it's a once-a-year kind of thing and you're reasonably cautious, it'll be fine and you'll look amazing!

Size Up 3 Sizes
Looks great for renaissance fair! I normally wear a L or XL in dresses, but listened to the reviews and got a 3XL and it fits perfectly! Very pretty print as well and I could put in on by myself, and I don’t need to wear a bra yay!

Way to make me feel like a fatty
This is so ridiculously small. I normally wear a XL or 2X. I initially bought a 3X and it wouldn't hook even with it loosened all the way. I ordered a replacement in a 6X. I could barely hook it with it loosened all the way. I compared the difference in a 3X and 6X and it was minimal.
