Hehe .. I don't even know what it's boned with ... I mean real in that it has 8 bonings and it laces properly at the back - maybe I mean in the traditional style?

I don't really need to pull myself in heaps at the waist although you have to pull them in pretty tightly so they sit right.

Do you guys have E-Bay or Trade-Me or something over there? That's where I went for mine on a friend's recc - lol. If I like it I may get one made (there is a corset manufacturer here - http://www.bastetcreations.co.nz/modernclassics.htm)
