Piped lace and satin corset by Coquette - review by SaMiKaY

Coquette's Fully Boned Lace and Satin Corset features a lace-up back and a hook and eye closure in the front. After putting it on and taking it off several times to adjust it (no one was home to help!), I enjoyed what I saw! It appeared to slim me (albeit just a smidge), and the colors looked GREAT! The lace pattern is the same as the bust from the Babydoll and g-string also from Coquette.

Here is where my problems arose. After about an hour of wearing it, the 'boning' in it began to warp. I will admit, I am quite "curvy" and the warping could be because those poor plastic pieces were trying like hell to keep my curves in place but it still disappointed me.

There is NO support to this corset at all. My breasts definitely did not look the best in this piece. If you had a push-up bra that emulated the top of the corset (can be hidden easily) I would definitely wear it.

This is the first corset I have ever purchased (after wanting one MY WHOLE LIFE!) and I was sad to be so let down.

Material wise, I haven't had any stray threads or pulled seams and it overall seems like great quality. I just wouldn't recommend purchasing it if you are looking for more than a costume. I have only worn it once since getting it in the mail, and have had it laying flat on my ironing board with weight on it to try and fix the warped bones. So far, it hasn't worked.

I will most likely remove the boning all together.

This corset has removable straps and garters that are very durable.

Wash in tepid water with mild soap and allow drying in an airy place. Heat can ruin satin so make sure it is warm but not boiling.

It's a pretty corset, but it just doesn't work for my body type. It feels like a wasted purchase because I don't wear it. The corset sits in the bottom of my drawer.
