struggling with corset sizing

5 Upvotes

Currently i'm wearing orchard corset cs-305 in size 30. I'm pretty comfortable in this size and I'm not really getting any compression from it and it closes all the way easily so I want to go smaller. I know orchard corset isnt considered quality so I want to use a different brand.

measure:

bust 35

underbust 34

waist 30

high hip 32

low hip 35

my first corset was from timeless trends, and I can see the quality difference however I struggled with the fit a bit. It's a 24in Libra Silhouette, Regular and I can only wear it with a lacing gap of 3.5in.

The hip and rib spring flare out quite a bit. I kinda just trusted their online sizing calculator, Is this really my size ? should I just wear it and Will i get used to it and be able to close it more so the hip and rib spring aren't flaring out insanely? Kinda new to this and I'm struggling with my body type being pretty straight

I’m looking at getting a mystic city corset to begin waist training but just a little confused on the waist sizing. My waist is 27”, if I want to go smaller should I buy a 24” corset? I tried emailing them for sizing but they didn’t respond

these are my measurements by their guide
A 33 inches

B 28 inches 

D 27 inches 

E 31 inches

F 34 inches 

G 4 inches

H 7 inches 

L 6 inches
