Velveteen and powernet corset - corset discontinued by Coquette - review by Hot 'N Sexy TexasMama

I bought this because it was so adorable and I thought a 1x/2x might fit me.

I was wrong, but fortunately I have a slighter smaller size daughter...and she loves it!

What it is … how to wear it

This is labeled a "corset" but it is more like a strapless top or vest. Although it comes with adjustable straps and garters, my daughter is going to use it as a vest over a white top.

This item is currently available at Eden Fantasys in: S,M,L,XL and 1x/2x

Packaging

I honestly don't remember how this one came packaged and I didn't take a photo of it. I think it came in a plastic bag but I don't remember any hangers with it.

Material & Care

This is made of 100% polyester and according to the tag, it needs to be handwashed and then hung to dry. I would follow their instructions.

Design, Sizing & Fit

According to the sizing chart, my bra should be 46-50D, my waist 38"-42" and my hips 46"-52". .
I am currently 275 pounds, wear 18-24 tops, wear 44D bra, with a waist of 49”, hips of 57” and a torso of 18-19” long.

Based on these measurements this item should not fit me or at least ride up and sit on top of my butt.

Specific Measurements

center top of front to hem 15" long
top of cup to hem 17" long
width of front 20" wide , 40" TOTAL width of which 12" on back is stretchy mesh
cup width & length 5" long X 8" wide

It has 20 hooks going down the back with two sets of eyes which gives you 1/2" adjustment.

Modeling the Garment
I have a number of photos so I'm going to explain them here quickly. You'll see front, side, back and breast support three times. The first time is me.




As we realize it doesn't fit me because we can't close the hooks, my daughter gets excited since she likes the piece.


My daughter wears a 40D bra, has a 43" waist and 49" hips. She is just 1" above their sizing in the waist - here it is on her.

Once again - front, side, back, breast support (without straps this time)





With the straps:






Please excuse the scratches she got from the rabbit!

Comfort

I'm going to base the rest of this review, including the rating, on my daughter's comments. From 1 to 5 for comfort, with 5 being the most comfortable, she gave it a 4. She wore it for over 6 hours today over a shirt and found that it encouraged her to have better posture. She can slip it on over her head now that she has it fastened and then bring it down over her breasts and waist, etc.
