perfect retro underbust corset with real busk and stays. very comfortable. this one was discontinued, but gives a tiny waist silhouette, probably the best "first real corset" you can get, from uk label What Katie Did. extremely well made, cotton twill lining and polyester satin exterior. 24" is the SMALLEST it will cinch down. i am a 30" waist and can comfortably and properly cinch in this down to 26". you could probably use this at up to a 32" waist, you would get approx a 4" reduction, depending on how tight you cinch it. only worn over a slip or undershirt, so very clean.
