I am positively frothing with excitement about my new corset 
, so I just want to say a little bit about my experience so far. The corsetier that I ordered from is being amazingly helpful and attentive. We've already messaged back and forth several times now. She's super nice, asks lots of relevant questions, and responds very quickly. Her name's Jill Hoverman and her shop is on Etsy. When I first decided I wanted to buy from her, I didn't want to mention her name openly on the board because, for some reason, I imagined she'd get swamped with orders and my order would end up taking forever to arrive. Now that I've had the pleasure of doing business with her, I just hopes she gets lots and lots more orders so that she's still in business by the time I need my next corset.
I guess it's technically still too soon to be so pleased since I obviously haven't even tried out the corset yet, but I've been looking up reviews like a kid peeking into their christmas presents. Here's a review of the exact corset I ordered by a self-described alt/fetish model: http://corsetry.livejournal.com/2085783.html
She did another review after wearing it for 2 weeks:

Apparently she was also pleased enough to buy a second one later on. She originally bought from Jill Hoverman on the recommendation of the "Lingerie Addict" who owns a ton of corsets and is one of my favorite bloggers. So far I'm feeling really good about this purchase
