Tres Sexy arrived in the usual clear plastic bag on a disposable, plastic, lingerie hanger. I immediately went to my wardrobe and grabbed a nice padded one to use for this corset. The satin is very thick and glossy, a bit thinner than a brocade, but very durable and high quality. The 'rhinestones' are actually small half circles of rounded glass that is glued on the corset. On the plus side, there is no damage to the corset when they fall off and it will still be a beautiful garment without them.

The top and bottom have a flat ruffle trim with the satin on the front and the lining material as a backing. This adds a bit of style and decor to the corset. It also helps add a bit of covering for your breasts. The front closure is a six fastener metal busk. These can twist when putting the corset on, but if the laces are loose you will have minimal issues. The metal busk helps the material to lay flat and flatter a bit of a tummy.

The boning is plastic and is pretty flexible. I always replace mine with metal boning for support. Of course I do this after the review so it does not affect my pictures. There is a tutorial I wrote about the process in the forum. The front has three pieces of boning and they are shaped for maximum curves. There are four pieces of boning for the back. These start at the sides and stop at the lacing grommets. There are 10 metal grommets for lacing. The lacing is a continuous black ribbon that is tied in a bow halfway up the back. You could separate this and make two ribbons if you are more comfortable with that arrangement. The ribbon is sewn together at the bottom of the lacing areas.

The inner material is a super soft, comfortable brushed denim type of cloth. This material acts as a wick for sweat, satin material is very warm and may cause you to be warmer than usual and you may notice more moisture on your skin than usual. It holds the moisture in and protects the satin outer material from stains. Do not wear white deodorant with this corset---it will rub off and show!

The liner is Cotton and the satin outer shell is a Polyester & Spandex blend. There is no care instructions included with the corset, which I found was a bit odd, but I have cleaned it by letting it soak in cool water with Dona Lingerie Cleaner. I swished it gently in the water, keeping the material flat and let it hang over the tub until the water stopped pouring out of it. I then let it fry outside on the clothesline.

To dry and hang my corsets, I undo the front fastenings and drape them so the lacing is centered on the bottom rung of the oversize plastic hanger. You may clip it on if you are worried about it sliding off. This takes up less room, keeps their shape and you do not have odd shaped corsets hanging in your closet. It also helps to keep the boning straight.

The fit of this corset is phenomenal for me. It fit nicely or a bit tighter on the bust area, depending on how I adjusted the laces. The waist really held an hourglass figure and made my waist look tiny. It flares on the bottom to enhance a derriere--even if yours is usually pretty flat!! The cut and design is subtle but highly effective for shaping your body with generous curves and a nipped in waist.

***I honestly have no butt--until I put this corset with the black lace booty shorts...

This has to be one of my favorite corsets of all time!! The fit and material is very comfortable, the shaping of the boning is amazing and the way it pushes my love handles down into making me a new butt is spectacular!! Until I take it off and still have my usual fairly flat buns....but oh, well....at least I get a new body for awhile!

A few more of the 'rhinestone' dots have fallen off, but you cannot tell where they were and this does not affect the look of the corset. I did have to go over this once with a lightly warm iron to smooth the satin material out, but with a cloth in between the satin and the iron it worked out very well!!

Just to let you know, the white and red versions of this corset will arrive on Monday. Tres sexy??? Hell yeah!!
