Never had a basque/ corset before but made the jump to get this because the pictures looked so beautiful! The basque is even more stunning in person (and on!) and I'll be keeping it even though it's not the 'perfect fit'.

Pros
- Lovely round basketball shape from both sides
- Gorgeous design with intricate lace and detailing
- Puts my chest upfront, cakes on a plate style
- Relatively easy to get on myself: Starting with the back of the basque at my front, I connected up the top few hooks, swiveled the basque around like a normal bra, put on the straps then did up the rest of the hooks.
- Flattering boning that fits my waist/ silhouette well

Cons
- Straps could be closer together to avoid being right next to my armpits, though doesn't cause irritation so would just be comfier
- Centre gore doesn't lie flat. I'm really close set so overlapped gores are ideal. This lies just on top of my soft tissue but doesn't cause an issue.
