Noir Handmade Black Ultra-Shine PVC Underbust Corset

The Kardashian secret is out, corsets are absolutely the budget way to look slim thicc without plastic surgery.I received this corset in the post today and eagerly unboxed it. As per, Lovehoney has sent it discreetly. The corset is packaged in a neat little box of its own. It's such a small thing but I loved that the package contains a thank you for buying card- the little touches make so much of a difference.I am a UK size 14-16 so opted for the XL. I am pleased that I did and didn't try for the L. It fits perfectly as is, I can tighten/knot the back to wear it on my skin and then leave it loose to wear it over clothes, this way the garment does both! If you solely want to wear it like the model then consider sizing down (following the Lovehoney size chart, the Noir size chart is slightly different).Lovehoney sent me this product for review so I wore this for the entire day to see how it holds up. Within the first 10 minutes I had paired this with the Lovehoney Lace Peek-a-Boo Bra & Crotchless G-String and was parading around my room feeling like a goddess. It looks absolutely stunning with a thong!l also love that this is underbust. I have quite large boobs and usually corsets/basques that fit my waist leave me spilling out over the top. This completely stops that. You can pair it with whatever bra set you feel like and it will look gorgeous! The model wears pasties so you can't see how well this pairs with a bra but the underbust shaping is amazing, it makes any bra look like it was made to match.For the ladies with a slight tummy, this corset covers your belly button and makes your waist look slimmer! It gives the perfect hourglass figure and sure does have the men going wild! I've worn it under my clothes today and it is great shapewear, I have a more defined waist and bigger hips, I no longer have "rolls" showing underneath my tank top and it has genuinely just given me a more feminine look.The boning is sturdy enough so that the corset doesn't roll up but is not restrictive. I have worn it comfortably all day and it hasn't changed shape or dug into me at all.The material is really shiny but also soft and stretchy enough to leave some give and take. It doesn't have the cheap feel that some PVC has and is genuinely a quality product. I also think the stitching is solid, I haven't once worried about the zip flying off, it ripping or having the corset coming undone at the seams.My one and only downside is that this is scratchy. Where there is stitching, it rubs against your stomach. If you're only wearing this for visual effect in the bedroom it is perfect. You can make an impact and take it off after 15 minutes. Or this would be perfectly fine to wear over clothes on a night out as a statement piece. Prolonged corset-on-skin contact is admittedly uncomfortable and I wouldn't wear this on a day-to-day basis underneath my clothes. This is a shame because the silhouette it creates is FIRE. If you don't mind being irritated you could do it without losing your mind but it would not be a good day.Bottom line is I love this product. It has so much sex appeal and genuinely looks good. I feel so confident when wearing it because it covers "problem areas" and enhances my curves. I have sent photos of myself in this to others and they have gone wild, cannot wait to repeat the experience in person!
