I love this top! V necks are so sexy on big boob girls. So i read the reviews about it fitting snug and also used the size chart. According to the waist size in size chart im a 1x. Now I’m losing weight so when i wear this in two months my waist should be the size for a large but i still got the 1x because i didn’t want my fat bubble out the sides since its a corset. I had no issues zipping. If i was wearing this now im not sure i would be happy with the fit because the laces aren’t as tight as the models. Meaning it’s less of the belly skin showing in between the laces on the models. So if your looking for that fit you’ll need more room in the front so size up. I’m hoping with the weight loss I’ll be able to get that look. If you’re okay with more exposed belly skin in the middle then follow the size chart.
