Wetlook corset - corset discontinued by Coquette - review by T&A1987

Appearance.

With black nylon and spandex mixed intermingling with lace the Wetlook Corset is inherently sultry. The lace around the straps and the lower regions reveal just enough flesh to require the imagination of the partner. The majority of the corset is a sleek Jet Black that shimmers in the right light, exuding power.


The top is connected to the body through straps, with lace around the upper edges that is delicate and enticing. The frailness of the top is merely a garnish to the firm and sleek body.














While the bottom has connectors for garters and pantyhose.

Wearability.

Remember the hook and eye system from the Why Betty Lost?? With 20 hooks, versus the Veronica bustier's 17, Wetlook Corset is slightly worse in terms of wearability. Every flaw addressed in that review holds true here, it’s hard to wear without an assistant, the hooks are difficult for anyone to connect, but especially the wearer, and don’t try to make this a surprise. Given the difficulty of connecting the hooks if a partner assists, by
the time it’s connected, the mood will likely be killed.

Furthermore, the hooks defeat the very purpose of the corset which is to squeeze and redirect the flesh. Hooks are unable to do this because they cannot tighten around the body and without this refocusing of the flesh, the corset just lies on the body. This robs it of any sexuality or seductiveness as it appears less like a corset and more like a leather towel that wraps around the body.

As my girlfriend put it, "It didn't hug, it didn't lift, it didn't accentuate, it was just there."

2/5

Size.

This is a Large corset, which according to the chart should accommodate size 12-14. The chart further claims that C is the largest bust it will fit and the waist should remain around 30-32 inches while the hips should stay around 40-42’. It’s worth noting that there are two lines of hooks, one for a tight fit and one for a looser fit. The outer line of hooks, the looser fit, will just barely accommodate a 14-16, whereas the inner hook are more for the 12-14 range.

The bustline was free of problems, a rarity for any piece of women’s clothing, especially considering the wearer was a 36DD. As such, the bustline information probably should be taken with a grain of salt and purchasers should assume that the chart underestimates how much boobage it can accept. Although the boobs were somewhat smooshed, it was not uncomfortable.

Unfortunately, the waist wasn’t as accommodating, as mentioned, being limited to a 16.
Since this is the largest size available, it greatly limits the body types able to wear it, from 4 for a small to a 14 for a large, so,once again, this is something not for the plus sized woman.

2/5



Comfort.

Comfort really falls under two qualities, comfort for the wearer and to a much lesser
extent, the assistant. For the person who helps tie the back, it was a pain due to all 20 hooks.





I will never stop complaining about this

For the wearer however it’s perfectly comfortable. The material (discussed below) is silky, but firm, which keeps everything snug, but not uncomfortable. When my girlfriend wore it, she wasn’t itchy, pinched, tweaked or chaffed, nor did she find it tight to the point of being uncomfortable.
Basic movement is only mildly hindered by the corset, bending over or reaching becomes slightly more difficult. Given that it’s a corset, this is to be expected, but as mentioned, this doesn’t tighten as much as other corsets and some of what it loses in appearance, it restores through comfort.

3/5

Material.

The material is a combination of nylon and polyester. The blend, while an unholy abomination to God, according to Leviticus, is never the less, quite sturdy. Not even oil and grease stains, body fluids, deodorants or solvents are able to penetrate this blend (I can’t make any promises about holy water though).
Cleaning is somewhat restrained by the special directions of the material. Wash in sudsy water, never scour or use bleach and be careful of anything too rough. Either use the permanent press, gentle cycle, or wash it by hand to avoid any problems.

3/5

Price

$50.00 puts this on the low end for corsets on the whole, but the high end for Eden corsets. Really good corsets can cost upwards of $300.00, making this a steal by comparison, but in regards to Eden, it’s at the aggregate. The cheapest available corset on Eden is $30.00, whereas the most expensive empties the wallet at $81.00.

The price is reasonable, assuming that it actually looks attractive.
