This product appears to be very well made with metal hooks in the front to hold it securely in place and sturdy lacing in the back for cinching. Unfortunately this product is not made for those of us with some excess belly bulge, so those who could actually benefit from the shaping effects that I can tell this product has. I am unable to wear this; when buying definitely pay attention to the measurements not just the sizes. It claims that a size large is for sizes 12-14, I wear pant size 10-12 and shirt size is a medium, however due to my belly bulge I am 1" too large to even get this on to the point where I can cinch.

I am very excited about when I will actually be able to wear this, I can tell that it is very well made and will be very comfortable on. The material is polyester so it's very soft to the touch and seems that it will be very comfortable without the chafing you can get from some other corsets, though it does tend to make crinkly sounds when handled. I am sure that once it is on and cinched the crinkly noise would not happen.

Also this cincher comes with metal boning which is harder to come by, most companies seem to be cutting costs and resorting to plastic boning which does not hold up as well. I love how it comes with a modesty flap in the back so you can easily choose to show your back or hide it with the flap. The eyelets for the lacing are reinforced metal grommets, so you can be sure that no matter how tight you pull the lacings they won't pull through the fabric. Same goes for the hook and eye closures in the front. They are made of metal and attached to the metal boning in the corset so you can be sure of a secure fit.
