Overview
DreamGirl’s Wallstreet Babe set is a fun, sexy addition to any lingerie collection. This product is a 5-piece set which includes a reversible satin corset, patent leather belt, thong, stockings, and removable shoulder and garter straps. Because the set comes with so many pieces and is reversible, the Wallstreet Babe is very versatile: It can be sexy and powerful, or soft and sultry; decked out with all of the accoutrements, or worn minimally. And while the Wallstreet Babe set can be mixed and matched, it’s not really meant to be worn in public, as evidenced by its design. However, pieces like the thong and belt can be used for daily wear. This one's worth the money, gals, so get your mind off of the economy and invest in a Wallstreet Babe reversible corset!

NOTE: This review is for the size 32 Wallstreet Babe set. All details regarding sizing and fit will be in reference to a 32. To read about my sizing experience, please see the Experience section.

Material
Both corset and thong are made of 100% Polyester. The corset has a very smooth, silky feel to it. The polyester material feels very comfortable during use (no irritation). Polyester is known for its ability to “wick” away moisture. This means that if the corset becomes sweaty, the moisture will move away from your body to the garment’s surface, allowing the material to dry quickly. The thong is made of the same material, thus also very comfortable. The thong strings are elastic and will stretch to fit the behinds of those who wear both Small and Medium-sized undies.

The set does not specify the stocking material, but I imagine it’s nylon. I was surprised by how tight the material is. Although it stretches, it’s not very forgiving. I am a size 2 dress (size 0 pant), but I found that the stockings were too tight for me.

The belt is a stretchy elastic, with pleather belt buckle and holes. The belt is of average material and design.

Design & Quality
Design:
The Wallstreet Babe set has a very detailed and beautiful design. The corset has 8 boning which give the garment structure and also serve as added detail on the pink side of the reversible corset (the black boning nicely contrasts with the soft pink). This is really the only form of support the corset offers, since it has no cups or padding. In the front, the corset clasps with 19 hook-and-eye fasteners. This is not only very sexy, but extremely convenient, since the corset can easily be put on by its wearer without any help. The clasps do a great job of making this piece stay put until you’re ready for the big reveal! Unhooking the clasps one by one is very enticing! The only problem with this aspect of the design is that when the hooks are clasped, there is a gap so that skin is visible for the full length of the corset. The gap makes it impractical to wear this top outside of the bedroom. The back of the corset is really rather sexy—it laces up with black ribbon and ties in a bow. The lace can be retied so that the corset reverses with the bow on the outside. Lacing this corset is easy and well worth the time it takes to give you an extra look!

Part of the fun of the Wallstreet Babe set is that its corset is reversible! One side is a soft pink, the other a black with vertical white pinstripes. I like to wear the black when I want to feel dominant and powerful. For me, the pink side evokes a softer, sweeter, and more sensual side. The reversible design offers two looks, both of which are equally appealing.

Time to accessorize! The corset is complimented by a broad, black belt. This belt accentuates the waist. By emphasizing the torso’s middle, the belt gives the illusion of an hourglass figure. On the black side, the corset has two threads for belt loops, which help the belt stay in place. Unfortunately, the pink side of the corset does not have these loops. Of course, the belt can still be worn when sporting the pink side. On the top of the corset, there are two removable shoulder straps made of elastic-y material. Not only are these straps removable, they are also adjustable! Similarly, the bottom of the corset has 4 removable/adjustable garter straps (2 front, 2 back) to hold up the stockings. The garter straps are made of the same silky elastic. An added detail on these garter straps is a black ribbon which covers the metallic clasps. The thong has a very simple design: polyester material and lining, with elastic straps. These panties serve their purpose well.

Quality:
The quality is above average—but not excellent. Attention to details (like the laced back, matching ribbon on the garter straps) pushes this set over the edge of mediocrity. The parts themselves are also of quality. The durable metallic clasps hook with squishy bulbs of plastic; this is great because it won’t cause the tights to run. Additionally, the edges of the ribbon have been treated so they won’t fray. The thong is even lined!

The most unfortunate aspect about this set is that the polyester is prone to puckering. On my corset, there’s puckering along the seams. Unfortunately, there’s nothing to be done about this.

Care Instructions
The corset, thong, and stockings should all be hand-washed in cold water with a gentle detergent (no bleach!). After washing, hang dry. If needed, the belt and removable straps can be hand washed with soap and water and then hung to dry. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or iron any of these items. No signs of wear and tear on mine yet!

Experience
I love this DreamGirl product! It’s strong, sexy, fun, and feminine. As for using this corset, I like it best for foreplay, not sex. The boning and polyester make the corset a bit stiff. Because it is more difficult to bend while wearing this, I prefer to take it off before goin’ at it. This set is great for those looking for sexy lingerie to be worn in the bedroom and during pre-intercourse play.

As for the fit, the size 32 will work for those who wear sizes 0-4. The corset was clearly designed for those whose waist is smaller than their bust. I am a dress size 2 and an A cup; for me, the corset was comfortably snug, but the cups were too large. Even when wearing a strapless bra, I still had room. I would imagine this working better for someone who is a B or C cup. As for the tights, they’re too long for me because I am so short. The stockings will probably work well for those who have long, skinny legs. The thong was a tad big, but these panties fit better than the top section. If I were to gain a couple of pounds (and grow), this set would fit me perfectly. However, I do think the sizing is pretty accurate.

The Wallstreet Babe set sizing is determined by number. The following is the manufacturer’s suggestion for finding your size:
“Standing in front of a mirror, wrap your tape measure snugly around your chest, just under or at the crease beneath your breasts and flush against your back. Check in the mirror to make sure the tape measure is parallel to the floor and flat across your back. If the number is even add 4 to get your band size. If the number is odd, add 5 to get your band size. […] If you have a DD cup size or above you should go one size larger.”
