hmmm, most of these corsets are just decorative underwear.
you can tell the real ones from the heavy duty metal clasps closing up the front.
Personally I've been trying to lose a few pounds before buying a custom fitted corset. Good ones run upwards of $400-500 so I want to be at my ideal weight when i'm fitted for it. But I'll likely opt for a double layered duck canvas model, or something similarly durable, as my intent is to do some actual body shaping rather than having something pretty to wear
I really love Aria's corset though, nice!
