I'm a bigger girl and with my broad shoulders and long torso, even plus sized lingerie tends to be difficult to fit. Not only did the corset fit well and was true to the sizing chart, but it looked great on. It's not often I find a product that looks as good on me as it does on the model, but this one did. If you normally wear anywhere from about a 16 to a 20, this will likely fit you comfortably.

The corset and panties arrived in a sealed plastic bag, and right away I noticed that the color is well-represented in the photographs. It's mostly bright red satin, and the black lace is actually quite soft and not itchy at all. The lace-up detail in the front doesn't actually impact the fit in any significant way, as the very bottom and very top of the corset/bustier are not held together by the laces. Please understand, I don't wear corsets or bustiers often at all, but I was able to get it on unassisted (this was important to me as part of the fun for me is to slip this on under my clothes after work and let my husband catch glimpses of it throughout the evening to get us both excited). The corset/bustier has several hooks and eye fasteners (like a bra) all the way down the back. I was able to put it on backwards and spin it around. Granted, this was a little challenging but not overly so. I expected it to be tight (since that's kinda the point, right?) and it was snug but comfortable. I never felt like the ribbing was poking me or that I couldn't breathe.

The G-string panties were comfortable. I wasn't particularly thrilled with how they looked on me because of my body type, but my husband assures me they did the trick for him despite my own misgivings. I'm quite tall with a long torso, so the bottom of the bustier doesn't cover the very top of the panties as it does for the model. If it weren't for this, I think I'd have felt better about the bottoms. I haven't yet used the garters because I don't own thigh-highs (which are pictured on the model but do not come with this set, by the way), but they are easily removable.

My only real complaint about the product is that the underwire isn't as secure as it could be. Once or twice I've been poked in the arm by a rogue underwire. It slid right back in though with minimal effort. I may whip in a stitch or two to secure it better.

I wore this lingerie through a light bondage scene. The bustier was just snug enough in all the right places to enhance the experience of being restrained.
