Kimring Women's Gothic Faux Leather Spiral Steel Boned Halter Steampunk Corset

The faux leather is buttery soft and comfortable. It fits like a glove and quickly molds to my figure perfectly. Note: I used the size chart they provided for the red color - for some reason that size chart doesn't show up for the black one, which is what I ordered. It was, however, incredibly accurate. It is EXACTLY what I was hoping for and more! It appears VERY well made and you can tell a lot of detail went into the stitching. This was ridiculously low priced for the quality of corset I received.The only thing I take EXTREME exception to is the fact that they call this a "steel boned" corset. It is in no way a steel boned corset. I have about 20 steel boned corsets that all have solid, rigid boning that reduces your waistline. This is most definitely a FASHION corset with PLASTIC (or other flimsy material) boning. This provides NO waist reduction, which is extremely disappointing to me. When someone advertises a corset as being steel boned, I fully expect it to provide rigid support and a waist reduction. This is absolutely incapable of providing either. Hence, I am highly annoyed at the way this was advertised. I wear a LOT of corsets and find it frustrating when they are improperly labeled.Otherwise, the corset is perfection (for being a non-leather fashion corset). The high level of adjustability is awesome and extremely helpful when wearing this style of corset. I wish more had this much adjustability with the way the corset fits. For someone like myself, who wears corsets frequently and is used to them, I found it to be easy to adjust and cinch by myself. For someone less experienced with wearing corsets, it may be a bit more difficult. However, it still looks fabulous and I fully expect it to wear well. The only thing to remember is - this is faux leather. It is easily damaged. More so than a leather corset.**** UPDATE: I tried this corset on ONCE (and I was very careful with it) and the boning actually popped through the bottom of the corset while it was being hooked up the front. This was before I even tightened it. It was super loose and had no tension on the boning whatsoever. I'm rather disappointed with this. I thought the quality was higher than it is - clearly looks and first impressions from this are VERY deceiving. This is beyond poorly made - it doesn't have the proper reinforcement in key stress areas, so it instantly gets damaged the minute you try to hook the front together. I'm HIGHLY dissatisfied and have contacted the seller regarding this issue. ****

I was not paid for this review & paid full Amazon price for it. This corsett is sooo nice. Quality better than expected especially for the price. Make you look great. Only complaint is the bust under the armpits is a bit too big. The other part is my fault - it runs VERY small. MEASURE!! I just read the reviews & couldn't find my tape measure so ordered XL when I normally wear medium. It barely fits with all the ties loosened as much as they can go. If I would have measured I would have gotten a 2XL. However, like I said, the bust is too happy in the armpit region. All in all it is a very nice product.

I'm curvy (size 14/16) and busty (36 DDD - 38 DD), and this was a great fit in this size. I wore a black sleeveless shirt (see link)  LA BASIC Button Down Dress Shirts for Womens BLACK 3XL  under it, mainly so it would look/act more like a vest, as that's the look I was going for. That also allowed me to wear a regular bra. Because I'm extremely short waisted, this did gap a little under the arms (another reason I liked wearing the other shirt under it), and the strap around the neck was a little too long (see again, link for sleeveless shirt). However, those were minor alterations that could have been made at any tailor. And this piece would be worth putting that work into.

I'm 4'11 and always have to get sizes small or extra small. I ordered the small size for this and it fits great, even with my somewhat bigger "treble"s than average for my height. I'm using it for a masquerade ball outfit and it works beautifully. It's got a nice feel; while it is an outside-wear corset, it doesn't have to be and it looks great. Everything has held up well.

Fun, novelty outfit. Smaller than I expected based on the reviews I'd read. Not very well-made, the collar ripped off on the 3rd time I wore it, and the metal bar that is the front support tore through it's sheath. Don't expect long-term use.

Great item, but the hooks and eyes are not perfectly aligned, making it a real challenge to lace up in front. Also, boning came through very quickly, and had to be covered by other clothing pieces.

It is really pretty. It seemed a little small but I am a plus size and once we opened up the lacing it fit fine. there is a privacy panel that will cover up the back lacing great. The cup size is a little large but again I am a plus size and obviously it will not fit everyone the same. Once on it is going to be warm to wear. Faux leather feels good but will make it hot. Overall for the price I like it a lot. Fantasy fest here I come!!!

It looks really nice but the quality is a little low. The fake leather ripped a bit when putting on letting the "plastic" bone to show at the very bottom. I can repair but it should not have happened to being with.
