New. Not seeing any defects or irregularities upon inspection. Possible irregularities include, but not limited to, stains, marks, velvet like cotton feel, faded cotton, exposed boning, loose stitching, loose grommets, scuffs, bent metal hooks, bad tags or sewing over the grommet (makes it hard to buckle) that occasionally occur during the manufacturing or delivery process. Some may be linty. I buy these directly from a company that has very high standards on their corsets and most the time I can't tell what the irregularities are because they are just not that noticeable. However that doesn't mean that when you get it you won't notice something as I do not try these on. Please feel free to ask any questions and for pictures before you buy as I do not accept returns or exchanges. If you buy multiple corsets I do combine shipping by weight or a flat rate box (whichever is cheapest)USA ONLY Check out my other items!

The 411 has the same curve as the 426, but is shorter and doesn't require as much curve in the hip as the 426 does to fit well. As with all Supreme Authentic CS corsets, this style is made from high quality materials, including steel front busks and double spiral steel boning. The corset is lined in 100% cotton which provides durability and support, and protects the exterior fabric. Features: *16 Flat & Spiral Steel Bones *Rigid Front Steel Busk Closure *Average Torso Length *Waist Tape Reinforcement *10" Front / 10.5" Back / 8.5" Side *High Strength Premium Materials *Level 2/3 Silhouette (Enhanced-Extreme Curves) *High Strength Laces *5" Back Modesty Panel (Lacing Guard) *All Metal Grommets If you've never worn a corset before please research "seasoning a corset" so that you don't ruin your corset or hurt yourself wearing it. This corset is made for tight-lacing and waist-cinching, and sizing is based on the corset completely laced shut. We recommend that you order 5-7 inches below your natural waist measurements to allow for cinching. Plus sizes (waists of 38" or more) should order 7-10 inches down. So if you have a 29 inch waist, we would recommend that you purchase a size 24. A size 24 will have a 24" waist when fully laced shut. The bottom edge will measure aobut 8-9 inches larger than the waist, and the underbust is about 4-5 inches larger when laced shut. Once you have a good idea of what you think your reduction should be and have decided what size you need its time to look at LEVEL and STYLE. Corsets are sized by the narrowest point when the corset is laced shut (for example, a size 28 authentic corset is 28 inches at the narrowest point when laced shut). The following table should help you understand our unique way of labeling the amount of curviness in a corset. Silhouette Level Bust-Waist Ratio Hip-Waist Ratio Level 1 Moderate 4-5 inches more for underbust 5-6 inches more for overbust 6-7 inches more (this measurement is corset measurement at the bottom edge) Level 2 Enhanced 5-6 inces for underbusst 7-8 inches for overbust 7-9 inches more (this measurement is corset measurement at the bottom edge) Level 3 Extreme 6+ inches for underbust 8+ inches for overbust 10+ inches more (this measurement is corset measurement at the bottom edge) Please keep in mind that due to lighting effects, the monitors brightness and contrast settings, the color of the product could be some slight difference between the photos and the actual item you receive. |
