The faux leather quality exceeded my expectations and it looks exactly like the photos. I did not realize a g-string panties also came with it (bonus). I am still working on getting the perfect fit, but my elderly mother is going to assist me (as she wore corsets as a young woman). It’s best to have someone assist with the proper fitting; however it can be done independently as I have managed to get some shape to it (seen below). Like any corset, it takes time and patience to get the proper fitting if you are doing it by yourself. I love it; not regrets!
