Review on TOPMELON Leather Corset Underbust Steampunk Corset Top Women Fashion Steel Boned Goth Renaissance Corset Waist Cincher by Kip Robinson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very nice but size up

I ordered the blue corset with the skirt combo. It arrived quickly. I followed the sizing chart and ordered the XL. Go by the sizing chart, not what size you usually wear. I wear anywhere between a 6-8 (dress and pant size usually). The underskirt part is very short (I'm 5'7). This didn't' concern me because I was planning on wearing fishnets or tights underneath. The corset/skirt set is just as nice as the corset alone that I ordered for about the same cost. The blue color is really beautiful and it adjusts very easily. The only drawback for me was that the flare at the hips was very big but I needed the extra size based upon bust and waist sizing. The other drawback is that the shoulder straps are a little loose so I would need to make them a bit shorter. I wish the shoulder straps were removable because I think it would be cuter without them. There is about a 6" piece of material (modesty panel) behind the back lacing. This makes adjustments easy. Also, because the laces are ribbon, they slid easily so you can adjust yourself unlike other corsets where you really need someone to help you adjust. I'm not sure how well they will hold up but again, for the price, you can easily replace those (I'm being very picky if that's my focus). The XL skirt fit perfectly and again, I normally wear between a 6-8 pant/skirt. The band is elastic but I'd rather have things fit a little loose around my low waist or hip that feel tight.

Pros
  • Easy to clean and maintain
Cons
  • May cause discomfort when sitting or bending for long periods
