I need some advice

[LadyFireKissed]

Does anybody know anything about the company Sofi's Stiches?  Good, bad, or otherwise?  I am looking at getting thier bodice that they have but I have never gotten one before, and have never ordered from them.  I am really liking this one but. . .   thanks guys for advice, sugestions, ect. . .

First, that's a corset.  I've tried it on at the Sofi's booth at KCRF.  It's *very* supportive--fully boned, all the way around.  (Their bodices have much less boning.)

Milord and I have a number of Sofi's products; the quality is very high, and we like their workmanship a lot.  I have never ordered from them; we've always bought in person at our Fair, so I can't speak to anything about shipping, etc.

Their women's products are all sold by waist size, which can be a concern if you're very small in the waist but larger everywhere else.  With a corset--which is designed to squish you--this isn't so much of an issue, but I do wish I'd gone up a size when I bought my Sofi's gown, as I think it seemed a little unflatteringly snug in the bust.  I have found their sizing to be accurate (as in, if it says waist 26-28, it will fit a 27 inch waist nicely).

Good luck!

sorry I did mean corset, I keep saying bodice only because that is all that I have ever worn. my bad.  .  the only thing that I am debating on, is the fact that I am a bit wider around in the waist at 43 inches and they only go up to 40.  However I think that I am going to go ahead with it only because I am loosing weight and it will just have to fit by fair next year.  lol.  My next question, do you have any idea if it might poke a bit with the boning?  I have had BODICES do that in the past and I dont know how big a concern a CORSET might be.  (see I might get it right eventually)

I've ordered online from Sofi's.  Watch the sizing, the gown I ordered "just fit" and did not allow any growing room, especially in the bust line.  Their items are of very good quality, and I did not have any problems with shipping.  I have not had to return anything to Sofi's, so I cannot speak to their return process.

My experience with a corset is that the boning does poke me in the soft spot under my arms, but other than that it is mostly comfortable.
