Lightly worn before I lost too much weight to benefit from its wonderful shaping ability. I have sprayed it with a mixture of water and vodka and only ever wore this with a liner, but encourage dry cleaning after purchase for peace of mind. From What Katie Did: Our overbust corset is perfect for if you want to wear your corset as outerwear, either as a corset top, or peeking out from under a sheer blouse. If you are experienced in wearing waist training corsets it's also an ideal backup for when you want to wear an overbust. All of our corsets are designed to be worn for both fashion and waist training, to cinch your waist. However, if you are looking for a corset to use for daily waist training we do recommend wearing an underbust corset which is less restrictive on your torso, easier to stealth (hide) under clothing, and easier to cinch. Our corsets are made from matt satin, bonded to 100% cotton, with a 100% cotton lining in baby pink. There is an internal cotton waist tape. The busk is Spring steel, with one steel flat bone being placed next to the busk and a flat bone on either side of the 2 piece lacing eyelets. The satin is 100% polyester, lining 100% cotton. Please note that suspender straps are not included. Dry Clean Only!
