The What Katie Did vintage waist cincher is inspired by 1950s corsetry, and just like shapewear of that era contains spiral steel boning to give you that nipped in hourglass shape. It also has 6 detachable metal clip suspenders / garters. It has a front hook and eye opening to ensure it’s easy for you to put on. The cinching at the waist is provided by an extra layer of powermesh just at waist level, plus an internal elastic waist tape for extra cinch.
