Shirley of Hollywood Red Satin Corset with Side Zip

My mistress wanted me to get something that she could easily tie me up in, spank me, and something that I could easily move around in.

And this product, I am pleased to say, ticked every single box. I also bought black stockings, which just added to the sexiness of the corset.

I also bought a sexy red lace thong, and my god, it just added to what I already thought couldn't get any better!

Overall, the product is very, very good. I would recommend it to anyone of both genders.

If it looks good in a man then it will most definitely look good in a women!

I was eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Shirley of Hollywood satin corset as it looks stunning in the pictures. When my item arrived I was initially pleased by the appearance of the corset. It is a stunning shade of red that will look amazing on any woman (or man). I couldn't wait to try it on!

The Corset

The corset is made exceptionally well. It is clear that this is a luxurious brand, and the outer material is gorgeously soft to touch. It's polyester but has a real satin feel and a glossy light reflecting look. The inside has a rougher feel as it is a combination of polyester and cotton, but I think this is to add to the comfort so it feels warm to the skin and doesn't slip down.

The corset has plastic boning to keep its shape, and these are very flexible so if you haven't worn one before don't worry! They flex enough for comfort but are rigid enough to keep the slim-lined shape.

There is a zip to the side to make it easy to slip in and out of, with the traditional lace up back including a modesty panel. There are metal eyelets with a piece of red cord to tie the corset to your desired size. My only complaint about this is that the way the cord is attached means that there is a lot of left over material that just hangs there, especially if you wear it on it tight. Unlike traditional ribbon-laced corsets, this one has knots tying it at the ends so you can't simply undo it and then re-tie it how you wish.

Wearing The Corset

It's quite difficult to get the fit right with this corset. You have to set a size, then try it on, take it off and adjust accordingly. If you have a helper then its a lot easier! I'm a size 12 so I was expecting the size 10-12 to need to be opened quite a bit but I was wrong. I found the sizing was quite generous especially around the waist. There was plenty of room to go up to a size 14+ in my opinion.

The corset gives a nice streamlined shape around the stomach and hip area, smoothing over any wobbly bits with ease! The boning also ensures you stand up straight and appear even slimmer.

The one area I was disappointed at however was the breast area. I found that the corset gave no support (my other corset gave me a great boost so I have something to compare it to). My boobs kind of drooped down and I didn't get that sexy cleavage look we associate with corsets. I couldn't tighten the top without the back of the corset (the lace up part) looking odd. My C cup boobs were lost in this corset so I didn't feel particularly sexy wearing it!

With this red colour being so vibrant and fabulous, I am a bit disappointed that a g-string wasn't included as it will be hard to find one that matches perfectly.

Overall I would only recommend it to those with a well proportioned bust, and especially so if you have round, firm boobs. Other people may be disappointed by the fit. Personally I don't think it is worth the full price, but that's because it didn't make me feel stunning, the quality is top notch.

I fully agree with the review left by JM88 - the item is beautifully made, it's a great colour and the fabric is sumptuous.

However - very strangely for a corset - it's impossible to get the right it around the bust.

It's not even that my wife is lacking in that department (she's a FF/G cup), but no matter how we tried to adjust the laces, the top of the corset simply wouldn't pull in tight enough to fit around the bust and give uplift.

I would also add that she owns two other corsets, both of which offer great support - so it's not that we don't know how to adjust and fit them. Very frustrating as it could be a great garment.
