I have an event coming up that I need to dress in red for. Red isn't a staple of my very neon and leopard print wardrobe, so I figured it was time to give Betty a chance.

I knew what I was getting into. A corset with plastic boning is never going to give the same shape as one with steel. I wasn't expecting that this was going to really suck me in like my other corsets. It's flattering none the less because of the high quality construction. It's very well put together. the seams are strong with no defects, and I don't feel like anything is going to rip. I am on the larger end of this with the measurements of 42DDD-38-50, so there is exposure in the back. I could lace it tighter, but the ribbon that they used is flimsy and until I can replace it, I don't want to push it. Plus, the plastic boning may warp under that kind of pressure.

It's really pretty. I plan on keeping in rotation for the kink events I travel to because the zipper front closure makes it easy for my Dom to take it off. He's torture on clothes that don't come off easily, so i hope that the zipper prolongs the life of this.

The Betty corset looks great with a wet look mini skirt and long skirts and trousers. it even is sexy with black skinny jeans. I haven't found a look yet that the Betty corset doesn't work for. It's super versatile, so be creative!

The Betty corset is made of nylon which makes it easier to care for, but feels like a nice satin which was a very pleasant surprise to me at this price point. I can be a bit of a corset snob, so finding something that felt so nice for only $60 retail was awesome. Plus it's often on sale for much cheaper. You should hand wash this or put it into a lingerie bag and wash on delicate and then lay flat to dry. The dryer can warp the plastic boning which would make this unusable.

The Betty Corset is a really pretty option. I find myself wearing it a lot when I don't feel up to tight lacing in a real steel boned corset. It has held up really well to gentle washing, and I expect it to last.
