I'd like to start off by saying that I did not wear the corset. My significant other did, and I'm writing this review after discussing the corset with her.

The corset is made from a synthetic material that looks, from a decent distance, a lot like black leather. There is a lacing system in the back and a zipper up the side. This is great since you can have someone lace you up and then leave it knotted at the proper size while you get in and out with the zipper. The set also included a black PVC/elastic g-string and garter straps that connect to the bottom of the corset.

The corset itself is very flexible. It stretches and has minimal "boning". My significant other is used to wearing corsets, but the traditional and expensive kind that have very strong structural boning that don't stretch very much. The side effects are that standard corsets can restrict your breathing and be uncomfortable if you aren't used to them. This corset doesn't have those problems due to its flexibility. Also due to the flexibility, this corset is one that you can wear with comfort during more "strenuous" activities which is something that can be difficult in a more structurally stiff corset. This corset doesn't seem like it'd do a really great job of shaping if that's the intent, but it's good at looking pretty sexy. With the garter straps, you can hold up a pair of stockings so it doubles as a garter belt.

In short, if you're looking for a corset that looks good, doubles as a garter belt, and will be comfortable for extended periods of wear, then you should definitely give this corset a shot. However, this isn't a corset that will work really well for shaping and "holding in" your body.

The corset has held up well in the past month or so. It hasn't broken or fallen apart yet. It still has its appeal (at least to myself and my S.O.) so I can't really complain about anything. It does what we need and want it to do and that's definitely good enough for us.
