Fetish PVC corset - corset discontinued by Coquette - review by Jul!a

PVC clothing is often a cheaper alternative to latex clothing, and can offer the same amount of shininess and allure when being worn.

I got this in a size small. To Coquette, this means I should be a size 4-6, with a B cup, a 34-36" bust, 26-28" waist, and 36-38" hips. Personally I'm about 5'2, I weigh about 110, around my bust measures 32" and underneath measures about 28 1/2". I've got about a 29" waist with 37" hips and wear a good solid B cup. While it doesn't do anything especially fantastic for smaller breasts, it doesn't look ridiculous either. There's a little bit of stretch room for the bust, but there also wasn't much room for me to take this in either. Also, your hip measurement won't really matter here unless you have a really short torso as it'll hit about the belly button on most people.

What you're getting here is just the corset. Aside from the ribbons, the bra straps, and the inside of the piece, this set is all PVC. It's got a shine to it and almost looks like a nicer version of a brand new diner booth. Only, you know, clothing. It will stretch some, but it doesn't seem to bounce back as nicely. It features 6 pieces of plastic boning throughout; two in the front, one on each side, and one on either side of the grommets in the back. The two on the front have an additional ribbon lacing down them for added decoration. There's also a bow between the cups and ruffles along the top of the cups for the same reason. The bow is easily removable if you don't like it however. The front half of the straps are PVC, and rouched. They'll stretch to about 10', and the back half is adjustable like a bra strap. The back is laced with a single white ribbon through a total of 20 metal grommets and ties at the bottom. I can't tell exactly how long the ribbon is, but there's about 8" in length on either side that you can adjust it out more and still be able to tie it, but that bow will have to be tied very carefully. There is underwire, so if you have a large C cup but fit all the other measurements, you'll still have support. Even though it is a corset, it doesn't really do any cinching. It'll accentuate curves that are already there, and will suck a few things in, but it isn't going to do anything hardcore.

The really neat feature about this particular corset is that it opens/closes with a zipper. The zipper itself is about 11" tall, and is virtually invisible when zipped. It's the thick plastic kind, and if you're not careful you can catch your skin when pulling it up. For the first time you wear this, you should have somebody help you with the zipper/ribbon adjusting, at least until you can get the hang of zipping it yourself without catching your side in the process.

On me, it fits pretty well. I didn't feel the need to adjust it when I first got it, but there was room to take it in all the same. My bust is in the mid range and I did feel that there was a little more room. My waist however is higher than the maximum, but it still fit there just fine. On me it fell about my belly button. My breasts didn't look amazing, but they looked exactly how they should in an underwire bra with no padding. The only downside to this material is that it does trap heat, so if you wear it for extended periods of time in warm areas, you will sweat underneath it.

As mentioned before, this set is made of PVC. The tag actually lists it as being 80% Nylon and 20% Spandex and says that you should hand wash it. If you need to wash the inside you should use a damp cloth with a mild soap if needed. The outside should be washed the same way, only you could probably use a spray cleaner on it as well if you were careful to avoid getting any of the more porous fabric wet. Since it has straps, you can zip it up and hang it in your closet. Or fold it and put it in a drawer. It doesn't seem made to last a lifetime, but with good care you should be able to get a few years out of it.

Here are a few pictures of me wearing it, since describing it was kind of tricky for me.

My husband has a fetish for stuff like this, or rather a fetish for me in stuff like this. Especially after seeing the lady on the box of one of my assignments. So I found this and surprised him with it when we tried out that other kit. I really like it. It's not my favorite piece ever, and I can't wear it to bed, but I can wear it out in public and when we're trying to be kinky. It fits me really well, although much bigger and I'd probably have been out of luck because the other sizes have been out of stock forever. If you fit into this, or can find this in the other sizes, I'd say it's worth a shot if you want to explore something like this.
