Sweet Corset with One Major Flaw
Sexy, classic look, but the lack of lining makes it unsuitable for prolonged wear. If you're planning on someone getting you out of this soon after you put it on, it might be for you, but I wouldn't want it on all night.

Pros
easy to get on and off
Cons
no lining
This is a very basic black corset with a sweetheart neckline. In person I think the "V" of the neckline is a little gentler than the product photo, but the sheen of the fabric is pretty accurate. The fabric is polyester. It looks pretty good, but it feels a little cheap.
The corset has plastic bones, which have some advantages over steel (namely they're washable - this corset says hand wash in cold water), but from my experience they get little kinks where the corset bends over hips or at the waist. I let the laces out and measured an unlaced inside measurement of about 29" at the waist.
The "privacy panel" behind the back lacing makes the laces comfortable, as they don't rest against your skin, and the side zip makes getting in and out of the corset very easy. The laces look like round shoelaces. Not fancy, but they hold pretty well and probably won't break.
Overall it's fine but for one major flaw; it's unlined, and the inside is not comfortable. The boning creates uncomfortable ridges, and if you've ever felt iron-on interfacing, the texture of the inside of the corset is something like that; it's like a rough nylon mesh. If you're going to be in and out of it in a matter of minutes you might not notice, but I wouldn't want to wear this for too long.
The sizing was Okay. I got a 32, which I think would be great for someone a few inches taller than me and with at least a B cup. It was a little big all over when I first tried it on, but pulling the laces tighter gave me a perfect fit on my waist and hips. But even after unzipping it, carefully pulling the laces at the top as tight as they would go, and zipping it up again, my A-cups just couldn't fill it out. It was also a little long for my torso (I'm 5'3") and rubbed under my arms because of this, especially when sitting down. I could try to wiggle it lower, but it would tend to line up with my natural waist as soon as it was zipped.
That said, even though it didn't fit perfectly, it still looked pretty sexy.
Their size chart lines up 32-34 with the following measurements:
cup: A - B me: A (corset was too big)
bust: 32 - 34 me: 33 (corset was too big)
waist: 24 - 26 me: 27 (fit perfectly with a little tightening)
hips: 30 - 32 me: 35 (fit perfectly with a little tightening)
weight: 90 - 120 me: 125 (fit perfectly with a little tightening)
So, if you've got a trim waist and a B-cup or larger, it looks like you might want to size down when buying this corset.
The major flaw for me is the lack of lining. If they weren't going to line it, they could've at least used a smoother fabric on the inside. I wish I could take off one and a half stars just for that, but I don't think it's worth a full two. It is sexy, and the materials aren't great but they're similar to other corsets in this price range. I think on someone with a slightly different body it would've worked even better.

Thank you for viewing Black Tesa`s sweetheart corset – babydoll and panties set review page!
This sounds too uncomfortable for me to want... Especially since I usually hate the feel of polyester (though there are a few pieces I'm okay with).
Sorry this didn't feel great for you... I'll pass!
