Fabric: real, soft leather (the Shaper corset homepage says it's made from goat leather) and real, sturdy cotton, as far as I can tell. No visible damages.
Workmanship: good, all the seams are ok and look durable. Two or three of the grommets and rivets are unevenly spaced but it's unnoticeable unless you look very, very closely.
Sizing: With an exact 28-inch waist I ordered a size 38 as recommended by the size table. The corset runs true to size, with one exception: I had to add three additional grommets to the neck closure otherwise it would have hung loosely from my nape.
Shape: It features a long pointed front (and back) but sitting is possible without a problem. It is long enough to look good on people taller than 5.7ft.
In action: Since purchasing I wore it once, but for 11 hours straight (to a concert and the aftershow party) and found it to be one of the most comfortable corsets I own. I am a light-to-medium lacer with a lacing gap of about 2 inches, so your mileage may vary.
Effect on environment: very positive, I got asked where on earth I purchased this beautiful item.Buy Black Leather Victorian Vintage Shaper Corset Steel Boned Back Lace Up, Front Buckle corset girdle training LVG9796!
