I love corsets. I own about 10 of them. That being said I was really excited get this item which I purchased for myself. The product arrived wrapped in tissue with the DreamGirl tag attached. The corset is truly beautiful and fully reversable. The one side is shiny blue with black trim and black satin laces. It had supportive plastic bowing and seemed to be good quality. The reverse side is blue with black stitched throughout. It looks lovely and feels good on.
I should mention here that the sizing for this corset goes by bra size. I ordered a 36" because that is what I wear and it fit me perfectly.


The front of the corset has hook and eyes all the way up. The corset looks great in that the hook and eye do not leave a big gap in the front. The back has two stretchy panels connected by satin which laces. It does not create the cinch in the waist that I love but still looks sexy and allows me to breathe. The stretchy panels give this corset more comfort than most I own.



This corset is a bit different than any other I have owned in that it is much shorter than other corsets. I got a clue about this by looking at the picture of the product, but I had no idea how this would turn out. The back panels where the lace is is a full 4" shorter than the front. For me this has created a problem finding something complementary on the bottom half of my body to wear out.

This corset came with a matching thong. This one was a bit better than most that come with corsets because it had a bit more material. It is still not comfortable enough for me to wear being that the elastic is made for barbie sized hips. The thong was 28" but will stretch to 42".



The Bad News

Before I even got a chance to wear this corset out of the house, I felt the bowing coming through. I wore this corset for about 30 mins before it broke. I was broken-hearted but I thought it was only in one area so I took it out. Then I felt another piece of bowing poking me from the bottom. So now i have corset that I haven't even worn really that is completely broken with two pieces of bowing sticking out. I tried to shove the bowing back in and it worked until I moved a bit. Since the bowing was poking out the bottom of the corset I would constantly be fighting gravity.


Is this just bad luck or a defective product? I don't really know. I have had a problem before with a different DreamGirl corset. At first everything was fine and then the flaws appeared. At least this one broke right away and not while we were enjoying an evening out.

I will not buy another DreamGirl corset. DreamGirl corsets sell for an average of $50, I expect them to last for more than one wear. This one didn't even make it through that.
