I got the white version of this corset and when my partner saw it, he laughed and called it a "ridiculous corset". That was before I put it on. While I am sure that the black would be more striking, this corset does all the things a good corset should. It creates a lengthening of the torso that makes me look long and lean. While lifting and emphasizing my breasts, it does not cause my nipples to stick out, which is a good thing in my mind. It creates cleavage I forgot I could have.

It is not the most expensive item of lingerie you can get, and it shows its price in its quality. The material is not top grade, but for the price it is good. The stitching is solid, and although the back ribbons are simple, they are effective. The bones are plastic, and so they support without completely restricting motion. The edges are clean and unlike some other less expensive products, there are no loose stitches.

It is very difficult to put on, as the snaps are simple hook and eye closures and attached directly to the middle bones. I had a difficult time getting the middle ones to clasp. It is also very easy to pinch skin if you don't suck in. My partner had a difficult time getting it off me, and it slowed us down. The ardor this product created in my partner was very nearly stifled by needing to get it off. I suppose it is a product to use the nights I am on top.

I have had trouble finding bras that have sufficient lift for me, but this corset handles me quite nicely, and the image it creates is one I like to see of myself. Overall, I am satisfied.
