Hey Lucy! I'm wondering if you can help me? I'm thinking about buying the Restyle wide hips corset. The horizontal measurements fit mine p. much perfectly, but I'm concerned about the length. I know the front is 12 inches, but my underbust to lap is ~10-11 inches. I know sometimes a long center front can be distributed in a way that still makes them okay for short torsos, but I'm not sure if this is the case here. I just want to make sure I'll be able to sit down! Any insight greatly appreciated
Hello! It’s just the center front of the corset that’s 12 inches long - where the top edge contours up into that “point” at the sternum, and dips down over the pubic bone. At the “princess seam” though, which is where I have people measure from under the bust to the top of the lap while sitting, this part measures only 9 inches long on the Restyle - so you should be able to sit down comfortably in it! :) You just might not be able to cross your legs while wearing it because of the length, but that’s all. And I find that longline corsets discourage you from crossing your legs anyway, as it helps to keep your hips level.
