CAn you pleasssse show me pictures of you that were taken from behind with the corset showing (specifically the top of it) but any part of the whole thing will be great!

I know this is a weird question but Im ordering my dress today and I have a choice of a zipper with the buttons over it (which I love) or a corset which is also beautiful!!! I cant decide and would like to see pictures of the corset when it was tied and finished on a real person rather than in the pic on the website.

TIA!!!!

I think my concern with the corset is that the top of it will be too wide for whatever reason. I dont like how that looks, I like the look of it being like that normal 2 inches or whatever it is that shows in the pictures of the dress on the website, lol. I dont know if its just that it wasnt tight enough (because the fit of the dress for the girl wasnt large enough OR the person just didnt do it right which in that case I would make sure the person did it right) I know if I say this to the people when I order, they are just going to say, no whatever way you want to do it is how itll be BUT i dont want it to come in and them say it has to be wide on top for blah blah blah reason.

Then again, I still love buttons!!!!!! OMG, Im driving myself insane

Unfortunately, the seamstress did not keep that in mind when she ordered my dress. She ordered me a 4, but should have ordered me a 2 so that I could get the look of the ties being 2-3 inches apart. So, when I tried it on, you couldn't see any detailing because I was ordered a 4. So now, they have to take it in 1 inch on each side to get that 'shoe lace' look. More money out of my pocket!

I have corset back and love it.
Ladies, keep in mind, when they order your dress, they gauge it on the largest part of your body.
For instance, I have a bigger chest than my body.
So I got a 4 (I am street 0).
I will have to take it in hips a lot but if I had gotten a 2, my boobs would of been squished.
The corset part is perfect but I have to take in a lot at hips.
