This is a gem. This is my favorite lace-up corset. The fabric is thick and there is a lot of boning. The ribbon laces cinch your waist for an hourglass look. This is a heavy corset and would be best suited for the colder months of the year. I would not wait to order this though. It was out of stock here for 4 months, so jump on this one now that it is back in stock.

Design
The detailing is amazing. The black floral pattern is stitched into the thick emerald green material. There is black edging around the top and bottom.
The bottom has great pointed detailing. At the end of each point you can attach a garter.


The corset has a larger cup-like area for your breasts but does not have a true cup or underwire. I did find that cinching it tightly below the breast area does offer some support.

There are 10 boning pieces in the corset. Down the back there are 13 lacings criss-crossed down the back that tighten in the center. The lace goes through silver metal grommets that look nice against the dark fabric and ribbon. There is a black lace belt that is sewn on both sides in the back and ties in the front.

Material & Care
100% Polyester
Exclusive of trim
Hand wash cold. Hang to dry.
How I wash my corsets is to put cold water and a soap for delicates in the tub. I swish the corset around. Drain. Do the same with cold water to rinse. Then I hang in the shower to dry. This works well as my corsets are too long with the boning to fit in the sink.

I received this in an XL and it is too big. Although it looks good, it does not cinch properly. I have to fully cinch it. It does not look that good from the back fully cinched. You will not want to order a size up in this item. I am going to exchange it for a large and will update my review once the correct size arrives. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the corset itself. I cannot recommend this more highly. Since I am sending this particular corset back. I did not wear it around. In fact I just tried it on for the picture. One thing I did notice in the short time I was wearing it was that if I bend or sit down, the points at the bottom will dig into me. If you are short or have a shorter torso you will want to be aware of this.

Of note is that there is no privacy panel. I like to show a bit of skin in the back of the corset, but not everyone does. For those that love this corset and must have a privacy panel. It is pretty simple to attach some black fabric to the inside. You only have to attach it on one side to keep it in place once it is cinched.

I will update you on the large in a little while.
