I purchased this corset not to tight-lace, but for back support. Having a natural 12" hip-to-waist ratio and a shorter torso, I long thought that I would need something custom-made (still the case for over-bust, but oh well!). I have hEDS, meaning my muscles have to work overtime to make up for my hyperflexible ligaments, this corset has some days meant the difference between being bed-bound and being up and about with relative comfort. It is beautiful, sturdy, very well made, and seasoned well so that after the 30hr mark my ribs felt cupped and comfortable. It has a dramatic shape while still being subtle enough to be practical for stealthing, as I've no desire to be obviously corset-training. Highly recommend!
