Review on Transform Your Look With Kranchungel'S Steampunk Renaissance Corset Dress And Skirt Combo by Sarah Blough

I found the reviews for this item very helpful so I decided to leave one. I am so happy with this purchaseFor the price, the quality is great. The boning is well stitched in, the the grommets on the lacings are well placed, there are no loose threads or seams, the stripes all line up perfectly, etc. I'm very very happy. The overall "look" is just perfect also. The way the faux leather trim wraps around is very flattering. I'm going for a "Steampunk fairy" look, and because of the laces in the back, it will be easy to attach wings.The sizing, as listed in other posts, is wonky. I'm 5'7' a size 16 on top and a 14 on bottom very consistantly. I ordered a 5 XL. I would not have been as happy with it smaller, but it likely would have fit. I could not have gone bigger. but you have about 3-4 inches of play with the lacing. There is a material lining so if you let the laces out all the way, you still don't see the laces and a gap. I let mine out about an inch or so, so still had plenty of room to play with it. However, the skirt is way too big and I will be taking in the skirt around 3-4 inches so it doesn't fall off. It's so ruffly and loose that just a couple of tucks with hand stitching would work if you aren't a seamstress. I'm pretty evenly proportioned for a woman, hourglass-ish, so I"m a little surprised the skirt is as roomy as it is. Also, I have a long torso so I have to pull the skirt up a bit and that makes it pretty short, as well as the corset is pretty high under the breasts. It definitely provides that voluptuous look, so you need to be comfortable with that. I'll probably wear leggings underneath. But I followed the size guide and the size is acceptable, and overall look of costume was exactly what I was going for. So if you have more of a pear shaped hips or a larger waist, or it's the bottoms in sets that sometimes are too small, go with size chart. If you're more hourglass, don't go bigger or the skirt will be falling off.So overall.having read reviews and knowing what to expect re: size.I love it. It's flattering, sexy, feminine and edgy all in one. Super pleased!
