I purchased an overbust corset. The overbust was a regular (not custom) size 34" but the bust was made for someone with cupsize AA. Also it did not even have a waistband in it..so when laced up it stretched in the waist..so my figure stayed very much the same..not why you buy a corset. Also the baleinen. The metal lines were very very few. I had edpected so much from a Vollers corset but it was more a waste of my moneg. It would have been way better to go to a real corsetiere. So I had it remade by a real corsetiere who made extra balijnen metal lining in it..made it into a underbust since the cups were ridiculous and sewed in a real waistband. After these alterations it finally worked as a corset and I worn it a lot since. I am very dissatisfied with Vollers, the only good thing about the corset was the fabric. Good non stretch velours which I love. All in all I all advice you to go to a real corsetiere. My next one will be from Skeletons in the closet clothing from the Netherlands.
