Unfortunately when I ordered this my correct size was not offered so I ordered one size up. It's not tight enough to be worn for any sort of waist training but it's fine for a fashion corset--This would be an excellent waist cincher had I ordered my correct size. The material is strong and thick and it has the same rubberized outer layer as another similar Camellias cincher I got in my size (which I love.) This model is a little different than others I have used. You wrap it around and hook four sets of hook & eye closures in the front, similar to bra straps. Once you are properly cinched in you zip up the front. The first time I zipped it I had a little trouble but then I got the hang of it. You must hold the zipper down with your fingers until it's seated well and aligned and then zip it up, similar to a jacket but since it's tight you have to be a little more careful.

Note: I posted photos of it over my clothes. Since I ordered too large a size and it is not tight enough on me to really cinch much I didn't show a photo under my clothes. If I exchange this for a smaller size I will update with new photos.

UPDATE: I decided to try two sizes down, my waist still falls within the measurements. It fits great and really cinches in my waist! I have a 28 waist and I ordered a medium (new size) and XL (the size that was too large.) I would have also liked the Large, this one fits pretty tight but I like it. I posted three new photos with the smaller size.

I received this product free for honest review.

Perfect fit! I'm 5'71/2 and 30 in the waist and ordered a large!
