Coquette's White Lace & Satin corset arrives on a padded hanger and is in in a clear plastic bag. The simplicity and elegance of the white lace on white satin gives this an understated but beautiful contrast and design. I immediately came up with some ideas I wanted to try and yes, most of them really worked out well. I am still waiting for my camera to show up, I ordered it a few weeks ago and it could be here at any time.

The front of the corset has 13 hook and eye closures and (Gasp!), a satin privacy panel. The hook and eyes are set in white satin, which finishes the elegant look very well. The lace is a vertical floral pattern and the white satin sheen underneath adds a simple but classy sheen as a background. The boning is plastic and there are 7 on each side. These are covered in a matte white nylon material, similar to the 'powernet' material found on a lot of the newer corsets. The top and bottom of the corset is also edged in this material. There are 13 metal grommets on each side for the lacing, which is a flat nylon cord. The cord is plenty long enough for someone to add about 7" to my measurements and still get it to tie nicely in the back.

The interior is a soft, white, cotton twill. After removing the tags very carefully with scissors, I was able to wear this reversed out for a very casual and sexy look. I did have to add a couple of bows to the strap holders, but it complemented the corset and added a touch of color as well. I took it a step further, and added a colored ribbon to the lacing. Then I realized all the options I had for the corset!! You can add ribbons, gold belts, Rhinestone jewelery, pins and a bandana for added colors and styles-making this a perfect and versatile garment for wearing in public to casual and formal events!! Add a bodystocking underneath to help tone down, or up, your cleavage. Oh, the options!!

The material is satin, lace and cotton twill --however the tag states that it is 100% polyester, so maybe the inside isn't twill after all. But it sure looks like it! Hand wash your Lace and Satin corset in warm water with a mild detergent, I use the Dona lingerie wash, and let it air dry. If you need to iron it, use the twill side up and cover the material with a towel. Iron it on low heat.

I hang my corsets in my wardrobe, but you can also roll them around the boning and store in a drawer. Just do not fold them, this does cause wrinkles. You can either hang them as they arrive, using the ribbon hanger straps or unhook the front and drape the corset material over the hanger. Make sure the lacing is on the hanger. I also dry mine this way to prevent wrinkles.

This is a very classy and subtle corset. The lace adds a touch of elegance and dresses it up very nicely. I wore this to a friend's birthday party and received so may compliments!! I added a teal and a purple satin ribbon to the white lacing and pinned a couple small, teal ad purple bows to the top of the hook and eyes in the front and also at the bottom above the garter straps attach.

I also have a cute teal silk and lace shrug that completed the look. The added color made the outfit!! I am loving the versatility of this corset and will be wearing it for many semi-formal events.
