Review on Gothic Overbust Corset With Sexy Shoulder Straps For Women - Perfect Choice For A Bold Look by Jesse Stewart

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very cute corset for not much money!

I was hesitant about buying this corset because it was an Overbust. Now, I have nearly a dozen satin Underbust corsets in a range of beautiful colors, and I find that they really add that special something to an outfit (not to mention making my waist look killer!) But I always shied away from any full-length corsets because of my bustline. It always seemed to me that an Overbust Corset for those of us with larger breasts was like playing a game of "Squish the boobies"!I saw this red and black one on sale and free returns, and decided to try it out. When it arrived, it looked so beautiful! I put it on last night over my black Boho flowy dress with cherries on it. What a beautiful accent this corset made to that dress! Once I got it on and started to cinch it, I was a bit disappointed that the top and bottom weren't cinching very much but mostly just the middle. I wore it for 3 hours, and after a while was able to get things tighter and more evenly cinched. At the end of the evening, I finally got it as tight as I would like.I was pleasantly surprised at how it definitely was NOT squishing the gals, but mostly just forming a platform to support them. I was wearing an underwire bra under my dress, and it was totally comfortable the whole time. Next time, I might try a wirefree bra, as the corset supported them so nicely! I paired this with red lingerie, garter belt and thigh highs. I topped it off with my black stiletto pumps with the red platforms.This corset was the cherry on top of my outfit, and made that outfit feel so much sexier than it would have on its own.My Underbust corset/Cinchers improve my posture quite a bit, but this one is so much longer. I felt really supported and upright in my posture. It was a really secure feeling as long as I didn't need to bend over too far, lol! I didn't feel captured or restrained, and still had surprisingly good range of movement and flexibility to twist and reach.

Pros
  • Firms and sculpts areas around the waist, hips, and back
Cons
  • Can cause discomfort or embarrassment when sitting down and the corset rises up
