Disappointing Starburst
This is a gorgeous piece and if you're willing to wear a bra under it for support, BUY IT. But if you expect this piece to lift your breasts and give you awesome support and cleavage by itself, pass. It doesn't do it.

Pros
The back of this is beautiful
Hook and eye fasteners made this fit nice and tightly
Love garters!

Cons
No underwire in the bust really ruined this for me. Flattened out my breasts and offered no support.
This is a corset made of 80% nylon and 20% spandex. The front panels are black mesh with glittery stars and flocked velvety stars. There is a gray lining behind the mesh so it is not see-through. The side panels and center back are black mesh with a black lining, and the rest of the back is black mesh with no lining so you can see skin through it. Over those two panels are gray satin ribbons, tied in a traditional corset style.
The front has 16 functioning hook and eyes, which is how you fasten this corset. It has a black satin band that goes behind the fasteners so if they are pulling or gaping a little it will not be noticeable.
This corset IS boned, despite the description saying it has no boning.
It has attached hanger straps and includes bra straps and garters that are attachable/ detachable.
The main problem I have with this corset is when I think of a corset, I think of a gorgeous piece of lingerie that offers awesome support for you breasts and makes you look great. This corset offers NO support for the breasts. It has no underwire which, I believe is the biggest flaw. It also has no additional lining, padding, etc that would help support the breasts. When I first tried it on, it completely flattened me.
I took it off, disappointed, because the way it made my breasts look was pretty unsexy. I tried it on again a few days later, but with a nice, supportive bra under it. Though I would love to wear this with NO bra under it, it did look substantially better with a nice underwire bra under it.
I think the boning placement has a lot to do with why it flattens the breasts out the way it does.
Here are some photos of it. The photo with straps is me wearing a regular bra with it.
Note: This corset comes only with bra straps and garters. The thong and thigh-highs are my own and NOT included.

Follow-up commentary

I can't make this look good on me without a bra underneath. I wish the top was more structured and didn't have boning on the boobs that completely mashes me flat. I do like the way it looks with a bra but I wasn't planning on having to wear a bra with it.
I think underwire support would help a lot because it would lift the breasts instead of oppressing them!

Thank you for viewing Starburst – babydoll and panties set review page!
Thank you for your very honest & helpful review! It's very helpful to know the cons of a product before you buy it.
Too bad it didn't work out for you. I think it would still look good on me however. Thank you for the pics too.
(And the corset looks great on you)
