Women's Pirate Vest Renaissance Victorian Cosplay Clothing

I ordered this in a size 3X. I am 5'9, 280 lbs, size 18/20, 42C bra. The size chart says a 3X has a 37.8 inch waist, so I was expecting this to be tight on me since my waist is more like 41 inches. Surprisingly this was actually too big, I was able to put it on over my head without loosening the laces and there was room to spare. Luckily the laces in the back helped to tighten things up as well but the front laces cause the vest to start bunching up weirdly if you pull them all the way tight. This doesn't matter to me because most of the vest will be covered by a corset belt but this is something to keep in mind. Also just FYI there is no boning or structure to this vest, it is NOT a corset.

It fits. I feels good I like the texture. It function like it should.
