Liquid shine corset and thong - corset discontinued by DreamGirl - review by Sam I Am

This was my first corset. I actually ordered it from a different site, but in general, the way it was packed was in a plastic bag with 4 garter straps and the stockings.

The corset is made of microfiber and polyester. I love the look of this and the feel of the fabric. The boning is plastic, so it isn't a heavy duty corset and doesn't hold in my gut too well, but it works for the general purposes. There are hook and eye clasps in the front, and it laces up in the back. It has a halter strap at the top. One thing about the fabric of this is that it is very thin, and if I don't position my boobs in just the right place, you can see my nipples through the fabric. While this is great in the bedroom, it's not so great when I'm out clubbing. The halter straps are a satin fabric, and these are where I've had the most trouble. If you tie it too tight to really hold your boobs up, it can start to really hurt your neck. One of my straps has completely ripped off from the corset itself, and the other is in the process of ripping. I tried resewing the one, but satin is a terrible fabric to sew; it rips so easily, which is the problem here. Also, after wearing it for a long time throughout the night, the fabric seems to stretch a bit because it becomes less and less tight. I was surprised, however, at how cool I stayed while wearing this. I danced at the club for hours and barely broke a sweat -- probably due to the thin fabric. It's not the worst, but it is obvious that it's at least somewhat cheaply made.

The thong is made of the same material as the purple part of the corset. It feels like really rough material, and I haven't personally worn the thong because of how uncomfortable it seems like it would be. The back is a bit thick for my preference of thongs also.

The stockings are just thin, black stockings that come to a little above my knees. I've only worn them once so I can't say too well how they'll hold up, but they seem to be of decent quality.

I ordered my correct size, and it fits like a charm for me. I personally wear a 36B bra, a dress size of 10, and I'm 5'4" and 130 lbs. So I fit right in the middle of the medium size. I could see how someone on the very extremes of this size would need a size up or a size down.

For washing, I've only hand washed it a couple of times. The tag says that it should be dry-cleaned only, but I haven't had any problems hand washing it.

Overall, it's a good first corset, but I think the price is a bit steep for the quality.
