This is not to bag them, they make some nice clothes. But the corset range is designed to look like a corset without the heavy construction required to cinch you in like a real corset. As such I would suspect that the boning is plastic and the stitching etc is designed to fit firmly, not tightly. This is confirmed by this quote from there website "Our corsets are not designed to train your waist. Initially pulling too tightly can cause damage to the grommets in your corset." Reference If you want to get the cinched in effect from a real corset you will have to pay a lot more. the price range is $200 and up Do not over tighten otherwise you will damage the garment. Just lace firmly. Here are some links to real corset makers; Email me if you need more info. Good luck Fredericks’ corset are corset in name only, they are not a real corset.

They are usually beautiful, but don't rely on them to cinch you in like a real corset would. And unless you have a big chest, you'll probably have to wear a bra underneath. I can tell you for a fact that's what the models do. I had a friend that worked there, and showed me how in some pictures they send to the store you can see the bra straps before they were photoshopped out. I would recommend them only if it's for going out or fun with your lover. Not for special occasions. I rate them, 3.5 out of 5. Mostly for looks. If you are curious to see what they really look on a normal person send me an e-mail and I can take a pic real fast for you.
