This Luvsecretlingerie corset is serious business for waist training! With 26 steel bones total - including 2 strong steel busk bones in front, 4 rigid steel plates, and 20 flexible spiral bones - it provides incredible support and shaping. The 100% cotton twill lining feels comfortable against your skin, and the waist tape adds extra durability. The front busk closure with rust-free eyelets makes putting it on much easier than dealing with just back laces. Speaking of laces, the back ties allow for custom tension adjustment as you progress in your waist training journey. The overbust design provides full coverage and support, with lengths of 14.4 inches in front, 13.4 inches at the sides, and 15.9 inches in back. You can expect about 4-5 inches of waist reduction once you're fully laced in. The sizing is based on your natural waist measurement, and there's a 5-inch modesty panel at the back for comfort and coverage. It takes some practice to learn how to put it on properly - start by loosening the laces completely, fasten the busk hooks from bottom to top, then gradually tighten the laces. Don't expect to close it completely on day one! The quality feels substantial, and the construction is designed for regular wear. Perfect for special occasions, cosplay, or dedicated waist training. Just remember to season it properly by wearing it loosely at first before tightening down over several days.
