Very inaccurate listing for a sub-par corset.,
CONS:
1) the pictures of this corset are DRAMATICALLY inaccurate. Through wizardly staging or photoshop tweaking the corset is portrayed as being highly tailored/hourglass. In reality this corset is straight up and down with no real waist tailoring. I have an hourglass shape but not unusually so, when this corset was super tight at my ribs and hips my waist was rattling around uncinched, lost and bewildered. In fact the corset was so straight and so loose in the middle that I looked like I had less of a waist than without the corset. Even corset newbies should be able to spot that this is the exact opposite of what a corset is supposed to do.
2) the material is listed as 100% cotton, while the label in the garment states that it’s 90% polyester and 10% spandex. These low quality fabrics will warp and go shiney after a few wearings.
3) the corset was incorrectly laced. Re-lacing isn’t a big deal, but the laces themselves were of poor quality, even fraying in a couple of spots, and their texture meant that self lacing was difficult.
4) steel boning? Hmmmm. More like ‘I Can’t Believe It’s Not Steel!’ boning. The corset was flimsy and unstructured, with not a trace of the structure and rigidity that “26 steel bones double boned” would infer. This corset required no seasoning; anything with proper boning requires up to a week of seasoning, a double boned high quality corset can require up to two; no seasoning highlights how uncorsety this corset is.
5) this is an extension of 1) and 4), but due to the bland boning and lack of a tailored waist this corset would be utterly useless for regular waist training.
PROS:
1) well, at least it’s cheap.
2) I’m very tall and this corset was a great length, actually it was pretty perfect length-wise.
3) due to the fact that it requires no seasoning if you need a last-minute addition to an outfit you can wear this corset the day it arrives, something you couldn’t do with a decent corset without sacrificing your ability to breathe and permanently messing up the corset itself.
4) even without decent tailoring this corset still was fairly supportive of my back and encouraged a better posture. If you’re just looking for a back support garment and you’re not fussed about cinching your waist this would actually be a good purchase, especially if you’re tall/have a long torso.
5) if you have a pronounced ‘apple’ figure, i.e. your waist circumference is greater than your hips and you want to train your waist down to equal to/a little slimmer than your hips then this could be helpful. If you’re pear or hourglass the lack of waist is a deal breaker, but the straightness of this corset could suit some.
CONCLUSION:
If you’re after a cheap addition to an outfit or a costume you can wear straight away then this is cheap and wearable. If you’re after something to support your back/encourage a better posture while you’re sitting at a desk then go for it. If you’re after something that does the proper job of a corset, don’t buy this. If you wish to actively waist train then this is completely unsuitable (unless, as I mentioned, your waist measurement is approximately equal to your hips).
Because I can see a couple of circumstances in which this would be a good purchase, and because it is a great length and cheap, I would give this two stars (two and a half, if it were possible). However doctored or very inaccurate pictures and incorrect listings are two of the deadly sins of online shopping, so it’s just getting one star. If this had been accurately photographed and listed I wouldn’t have bought it, as it is I’m sending it straight back.
