You normally want a gap at the back of at least an inch, which is what I had. If you still need to adjust it, it's not actually too hard. Email me if you need to and we can talk about how to make those adjustments.Cation Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00785063344305810736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479880960748887964.post-30152775435424769072012-02-23T20:24:20.576-08:002012-02-23T20:24:20.576-08:00Thank you!

I am just curious to hear if you had to make any adjustments to the size because I am not experienced enough to make any sort of adjustments and I don't want to end up with a corset that is too loose.Grace Nghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17110518553481223732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479880960748887964.post-12493473866313572792012-02-23T19:24:08.945-08:002012-02-23T19:24:08.945-08:00Thanks!
