I was very pleasantly surprised when I took this out of the package today. I was hesitant to order at first, simply because I had never purchased from this website and the prices seemed too good to be true! I am so glad I did. The shipping was quick (I did choose courier shipping though, so I can't speak for the regular shipping.) and the corset arrived in perfect condition. The fabric is gorgeous and it is reinforced with a softer mesh on the inside. It doesn't look like a corset I bought for less than $20! The boning feels strong and didn't buckle despite the tight fit. The clasps also felt sturdy and like they will withstand some jerking around. Order a size up, as some other reviewers suggested, as this baby did fit a couple inches smaller than expected. It fits but is not for the faint-hearted! I am extremely satisfied with my purchase and am already planning my next one.
