I wish that this product would NOT go out of production. It is very difficult to find a long, smooth-fitting strapless foundation that can actually support itself and the body, and thie one does both. It is also simple to alter slightly for a perfect fit since there is space between bones which is a plus for shaping. I used them in a 1950's show on several cast members under numerous styles, and everyone loved them!

Had I known that the corset wasn't not true to size, I wouldn't have bothered ordering it. I called customer service and they told me that it ran small, and they advised me to buy it two sizes bigger to be safe. Needless to say that one was WAY too big. I needed it to wear under my gown for my son's wedding, but have had to look elsewhere to find one that actually fits! I've had to return both of items, and feel like I wasted my time with this product. I will never order anything else from this company again!
HerRoom Response: We are sorry you were disappointed. Longline style items are always difficult to fit. The manufacturer assumes you have a column-shaped body. If your have a tummy, these garments will probably be too small. If you size up, the bra part of the garment may become too big. These garments don't fit everyone.

I ordered this to go under my wedding dress. I found it to run a bit large, so I returned it, and found something else before I could exchange it for a smaller size. I found it very comfortable for what it is (I mean, a corset is never going to be that comfortable, right?) But it did not have quite the support I had hoped for and needed for my size. I would say it is an excellent choice for a c or d cup even but just not quite enough for the DD's.

This item did not fit well, but even if it had been a little larger that would not have helped the fact that it did not offer the support I had hoped for. It did not stay in place, it kept trying to fold in half. It was very uncomfortable.

I am building costumes for a 1950's musical, and found this shape to be good for my women. I need to add bones to the back - surprisingly there aren't any in the foundation.

during my lifetime in the theatre as an singer,dancer and actress in musical comedy shows I and many other performers ALWAYS wore the Goddess Merry Widows...they were so comfy. We had several costume changes and having to change quick. The Merry Widow was the answer. Having a large bust myself made strapless bras impossible. thank you for providing such a quality produce. Cocktail dress, evening gowns, brides and bridesmaids have all been fortunate to be introduced to your lovely product.

i have commented on several bras before. this bra is amazing. it fits wonderfully, just like a glove and provides comfortable all day secure shaping and separation. i always wear my longline bras with a panty girdle, as i like the feeling and smooth line the combination provides. this bra does exactly what i need, uplift, separation and a smooth midriff; although it does make you slightly "pointy" but that just enhances my appearance. which i like. if you have a special occasion and need a good bra or just want to look good, try this bra; and, make sure to wear a good girdle to compliment the bra and to enhance your figure. i think you will like the results. bbbz

It does fit true to size, however the cups aren't smooth, but I knew that when I bought it. I do like the length! It goes over my tummy instead of cutting it in half like the shorter corsets do.

The fit was perfect! This will help make my wedding day just that much more special.
