Unlike most reviewers here, I purchased this corset to help with the recovery from a hysterectomy with an incision similar to a C-Section. For size comparisons, I am 5 feet tall and 117 lbs currently with a definite apple build (ribs sit almost directly on top of hips so no real waist). It took a lot of work, but I finally got this corset to work for my body shape with the help of some modifications.Pros:Comfortable - I have used multiple types of abdominal binders and hands down, this is the sleekest and most comfortable belly compression I have experienced to date. The fabric is breathable and no scratchy Velcro itching against tender skin. The groin closure keeps the corset securely in place and is a convenient “emergency hatch” when you have to use the restroom. :)Cons:Tricky Sizing: I think that this corset is best suited for long torsoed women, or women with a pronounced hourglass waist. On an apple shape like me, you will have to size up quite a bit to accommodate the fact that the waist of the corset tapers in so dramatically. I was supposed to wear a small per the Bellefit size app, but ended up needing a large to accommodate my natural shape.No Exchanges: As noted by other reviewers, you cannot exchange for a different size on Amazon’s website, which is not really disclosed up front during the buying process. If you are like me and have one or more corsets that are a teeny bit small, I suggest going to BelleFit’s website and getting the two BelleFit extenders for free + cost of shipping. By using these extenders + the one that comes in the box with the corset, you can customize almost the entire length of the corset to add circumference where you need it so you can salvage your investment.Summary: All in all, a comfortable corset that is well designed and stays put. Docking a star for crappy exchange policy on a hard to size product.  Read Less
